LONDON - A hit at the International Wine Festival in London is an accessory that keeps your wine cold called the "chill ball."
The Chill Ball preserves the flavor of the wine while continuing to keep it cool until the glass of wine is finished.
The gel-filled ball is frozen and then served in the glass. A clip means it won't get in the way of your drinking.
The inventor says he thought up the idea while on the beach...
"I was living in Spain three years ago, and I was drinking wine on the beach," said the inventor David. "Spain has a hot climate, and the wine needs to be drunk very cold. It was getting warm too quickly so the only solution was to ask for a little piece of ice to put in the wine, but it diluted the wine. So, I thought there had to be a solution, and that is how I came up with the idea."
