Summer is just beginning, and I’m finding any excuse to get outside and enjoy the warm weather. This time of year, as I recharge under the sun, I’m always reminded that humans are more like plants than we’d like to believe. At summer parties, all guests need to thrive is a good dose of vitamin D and plenty of refreshments.
The only problem is that a few ice cubes are no match for the season’s boiling temperatures. Tired of sipping on warm wine or melted, watery cocktails, I finally snagged a set of these cooling wine tumblers from Host — and now, I won’t attend an outdoor event without them. Whether you’re hosting a rooftop gathering or patio party, these insulated cups are a must-buy, especially now that they’re 41% off.
Host Cooling Wine Tumblers, Set of 4
These stemless glasses are unlike others I’ve used. They’re made from shatterproof BPA-free plastic that are perfect for outdoor events. Plus, they’re double-insulated and filled with a genius gel that freezes and cools to keep contents at the perfect temperature for up to two hours. “They keep your white wine cold even through summer temperatures,” wrote one shopper.
This set comes with four 9-ounce cups with comfortable silicone grips in the center that “keep your beverage from slipping from your hands,” according to a second review. The bands are each a different color, acting as built-in drink markers to keep guests from mixing up their glasses.
To ensure your wine is never too warm or too cold, the brand recommends freezing the cups to keep white wine and rosé at 43 to 53º F. Or, pop them in the refrigerator to keep red wine at about 60° F. I love that the tumblers’ thick walls act as a barrier between my hands and my beverage — keeping my hands from warming up the wine while stopping the cup from freezing my fingers.
Host cooling cups are great for so much more than just wine. In boiling temperatures, melting ice can ruin cocktails, lemonade, or tea before I have time to enjoy them. Instead, shoppers are serving cold beverages in Host’s tumblers with minimal ice to “keep drinks cool without diluting the flavor.”
If lukewarm drinks are getting you down, this four-piece set is about to save your summer. These tumblers are virtually unbreakable, keep drinks cold for hours on end, and right now, they’re less than $8 apiece.
