Enjoy your evening!  

If it’s your first time using your clay wine cooler, wipe down the inside with a damp cloth or paper towel. A clay wine cooler isn’t fired or glazed, so the natural clay can release dust that you don’t want in the water or ice you’ll use to fill the cooler later.
Then, fill your sink with cold water and submerge your terra cotta wine cooler. Make sure that it’s completely covered and allow it to soak for 20 minutes. If your cooler doesn’t fit in your sink, just submerge one end in the water for 10 minutes and then flip and submerge the other end.
Next, if you’re short on time, you can finish the chilling process in your freezer for another 20 minutes. No room in the freezer? Put it in the fridge for an hour. It’s now ready to hold a bottle of vino. All you have to do is pick out your favorite wine.

What if I want my wine to be colder?
The best dinner parties last for hours as guests linger around the table with wine and good conversation. To keep your wine chilled for even longer, fill the bottom of your terra cotta wine cooler with ice. Replace the ice as it melts. Add already-chilled bottles of wine once you’ve gone through the first bottle.
