Abstract
An apparatus for cooling and dispensing wine from a wine-filled bag of a prepackaged wine box, generally comprising an insulated parallelpiped box with molded handles, an upper front panel and a lower front panel with semi-circular notches forming a circle into which the wine tap for such wine-fulled may be locked into place for dispensing wine. One embodiment employs a cold or frozen freezable liquid pack placed on each side of the wine-filled bag, while another embodiment provides freezable, liquid-filled side, top, and rear panels. A drip reservoir is provided to prevent messy wine drippage. A name tag identifying the type of wine being dispensed may be placed into a nameplate slot centered on the upper front panel. The present apparatus may be made in a variety of colors and decorative exterior designs.
