You’ve probably guessed we love sparkling – but in climates like ours, it takes a little more effort to keep things cool. With more outdoor moments on the menu, we’ve been reading up on coolers that keep your fizz frosty and fresh for longer as you plan your next catch ups for Spring.

The Super Smart: Huski Champagne Coolers

Ever heard of a high-performance sparkling cooler?

Invented by Kiwis and now chilling across the globe, the Huski Champagne cooler is great for keeping the bubbles fresh for 6 hours without needing a single cube of ice. Just grab your Huski off the shelf, a cold bottle from the fridge, and you’re ready to go.

If that’s not enough, it’s got a detachable BubbleLock™ Bottle Stopper, it’s triple-insulated and there’s no condensation to worry about. But the best part may just be that it comes in 8 colours, so you can easily match it to your picnic kit.

The Statement Piece: Alex and Trahanas Wine Coolers

Part art, part sparkling cooler, these Alex and Trahanas creations are the perfect addition to a long backyard lunch.

Given our love of the sun (it’s in the name!) we’ve got our eye on the yellow stripe, which is inspired by the striped awnings of the Italian Fruttivendelos (fruit shops). There are other options too, most of which channel the Mediterranean sea.

These ceramic pieces are hand-painted and one of a kind, with a range of designs that transport you to Italy in an instant. And if you’re not filling it with ice and chilling a bottle of bubbles? It doubles beautifully as a vase or statement piece.

The Serious Business: Grand Cru Wine Chiller

Cold bubbles is a preference for almost everyone.
But for others? It’s serious business.

This Grand Cru Wine Chiller is a super sleek addition that takes chilling to the next level. It has a thermo-electric cooling system, with a touchpad to set the temperature yourself (from 5-16 degrees). It does its thing quickly and quietly, until an LED light flashes to let you know when it’s go time. It fits almost any bottle or canned drink – so there’s no excuse for a tepid beverage ever again.

While you won’t be taking it on the next picnic, it’s perfect for keeping your Solara chilled and ready to go for when your guests arrive at your place for a back deck bbq.

The Disco Fizz: Gigi and Tom Disco Ball Ice Bucket

We couldn’t resist the novelty option – especially when we’re all about living with fizz. The Gigi and Tom Disco Ball Ice Bucket may look like it should be hanging above a dance floor, but it’s got the practical features to keep your beverages cool while your dancefloor heats up.

Watertight and easy-to-clean, the Disco Ball Ice Bucket fits more than one bottle for simple sparkling refills.

And when you’re done? It makes a great statement in your home and serves as a great reminder that living with fizz is the only way.


Till next time,
Team Solara.
