When you’re ready to party, you don’t have time to chill out, much less chill your wine. Luckily, there is a new device that can help your adult beverages get ready in no time. Meet the ProntoBev, a clever little tool that can chill your drinks below freezing temperatures in under 30 seconds. Portable and easy to use, the ProntoBev from Pronto Concepts promises to be the replacement to your melting ice buckets for summers to come.

Effectively a cooling jug, the ProntoBev’s interior is made of wine-grade stainless steel, the same material used in the winemaking process. That means that you won’t alter the flavor of your beverage by using the device. Simply pour your drink of choice into the ProntoBev (be it wine, hard liquor, coffee, tea, or water), and wait about 30 seconds for the contents to drop 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

So how does it work? The ProntoBev actually makes use of a substance known as ProntoGel to absorb heat out of a liquid through stainless steel walls. It’s activated by the cold, so in order to use ProntoBev effectively, you will want to pop it in the freezer first to ensure that the gel is cold. But then, once all that is done, you can get to chilling.

Thanks to its built-in thermometer, you can always see the temperature of your beverage in the ProntoBev to determine whether or not it is good for drinking. And with a capacity of 750 milliliters, you can easily fit an entire bottle of wine into the device without a problem. Plus, the entire thing is dishwasher safe, so cleanup ought to be pretty straightforward.

The ProntoBev can also be used to quickly make iced coffee or iced tea, without having to use ice that will ultimately dilute the taste of your caffeinated beverage. So no matter what you want you are looking to drink, you can drink it cold.

You can pre-order the ProntoBev from Indiegogo for the early-bird price of $99, and receive a ProntoAer (which the team purports to be the world’s fastest aerator) in the process. Estimated delivery is scheduled for March 2018.

These Linkind smart bulbs are 37% off, and have one of the best apps I’ve used

Linkind A19 E26 color smart bulbs matter support -- smart bulb deal

I know some people think that a lot of smart home tech is frivolous, and some of it is, I'll agree, but there are certain things that make daily life a little better. For example, I have security cameras, a video doorbell, smart lights, a smart garage door, and all of these things make living in my home convenient. With my lights, for example, I can create on-off schedules and I don't have to get up to use them. After a long day, that's a welcome feature, believe me. It's especially helpful with Christmas lights and decorative lights -- like the ones I have set up to automatically turn on at sunset on my patio.

With a smart video doorbell, I can answer my door, converse with parcel delivery teams, and shoo off solicitors -- we get a lot of them where I live. But among all of those experiences and devices, one of my biggest qualms is with the apps you use to interact with this tech.
