Introducing the very sleek tchillbag® (pronounce chillbag), a Smart Ice Bucket and gift bag all in one.

Whether it’s for indoors or out, for chilling or serving, the light-weight tchillbag® is the ideal accessory for a picnic in the park, a dinner at a restaurant, a bbq with friends or as the perfect gift bag for that special celebratory champagne.

Simply put in your chosen bottle and pad out the tchillbag® with fresh water and ice cubes, et voila! You now have a portable ice bucket!

tchillbag® contains a special stiffening agent in its durable PVC that reacts with ice and water to create a solid, watertight bag that won’t topple over when filled, and can be folded away into your handbag when you’re finished with it.

Each tchillbag is made from special thick treated PVC and is sturdy, durable, non-toxic, recyclable and reusable making them ultra reliable and friendly to the environment.

Jacques Maudy, (Director) of tchillbag®, says this product is ideal for the active social lifestyles of Australians as it is stylish enough for a restaurant, sturdy enough for the beach and can chill a bottle in a matter of minutes.

“The tchillbag® is great for quickly chilling wine and champagne but can also be used for mineral water and soft drinks making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor social events,” Jacques said.

“The tchillbag® is also a fresh yet inexpensive gift, perfectly presenting any bottle of wine or bubbles in style,” Jacques said.

The tchillbag® Classic is currently available in five colours – Flash Pink, Pacific Blue, Cherry Red, Crystal Clear and Disco Orange. More colours and designs to be released in the coming months.

Available online from the very attractive price of just $9.95, it will also be available at wineries, cellar doors and bottle shops from February 2009.

Company logos in up to four colours can be printed onto the tchillbag from 120 pieces, or completely customized from 3000 pieces for corporate, clubs, wineries, hotels and restaurants.
