I have been looking at the RAVI Wine Chiller and I can't tell if it is a potentially useful tool, or something that would be a waste of money. I agree that too many people serve red wine at the wrong temperature, but I am not sure how this would help correct that.
According the the website, you place this in the fridge, then pull it out when you want to server your wine. But, it doesn't state how it regulates the temperature to keep the wine at 60 degrees (F). More importantly, if it takes you an hour to go through the bottle does the RAVI stay cold enough to regulate the temperature the whole time?
The RAVI also assumes that you pour the wine directly from the bottle and don't decant first. Obviously, there is not a way to get this to work if you are pouring from a decanter.
This was recommended in this month's Wine Enthusiast, but I can't tell if it is really worthwhile. Any thoughts?

Did you notice in the video how long it took to pour a glass of wine out of that teeny tiny spout. It looks like a novelty item that you would probably get bored with and just end up collecting dust in a drawer with all the other cool wine gadgetery. If it were $20 I would think about it, but for $50 plus shipping I would just put that towards a small wine fridge.
