Buy your wine, stick the bottle in for a short bit, and walk away with cold wine.

The one in my local waitrose wine section had a sign on it saying that under no circumstances should you stick your bottle in and walk away to e.g. look at other bottles, since it would freeze and burst the bottle very quickly.

Dude, when I get impressed with myself for knowing more than my HS students, I can always count on a QED post to give me an intellectual wedgie in the technical/science department. I know that everyone who knows more than you looks like a freakin’ genius, but this happens over, and over, and over…

You embarrass me, sir! :o
