Answered Conundrum Next Conundrum
Wine coolers... what's hot and what's not? (or should that be wine chillers... what's cool?)
What's the best way of chilling a single bottle of a white wine such as Conundrum? Is it best to cool it slowly or is a fast chill ok?
Can anyone recommend a good cooler or cooling method?

The best way to chill white wine is to put it in a bucket with water and ice until it reaches 10°C (50°F). If you want to chill it fast you can add a handful of salt to the bucket but I wouldn't do this since the wine may become too cold which may cause some of the more subtle delicate flavors to become hidden from the drinker.

The answer by zerlox4562 is spot on.
However, if you are hosting an event and a guest brings a bad bottle of white wine as a gift, that's when you want to chill it as cold as possible. This will make the bad wine tolerable, enabling you to be a most gracious host and not embarrass the gift giver.
