The gift which launched a business … It was January 2000 when a dear friend gave us the gift of a Wooly Wine Cooler, upon returning from a Holiday trip to Australia. WOW! ... We had never seen anything like it.
Crafted from rugged, water-repellant oilskin canvas, and insulated with pure Australian wool, your Wooly Wine Cooler will adopt the temperature of whatever you put in it, and hold that temperature for hours. Whether by the pool, the patio, out on the water, picnicking with friends, or at the dining room table; the last glass from each bottle tastes just as fresh and refreshing as the first.
In 2005, our founding partner, David Phillips (then age 12), launched Southpaw Express to bring these great Australian coolers to the USA. Thanks to this young entrepreneur, you can now keep your whites perfectly chilled, or your reds at cellar temp, from the first sip to the last. Oh, and "Wooly Wine 1" as we lovingly call the original, it is still serving our family and friends brilliantly all these many years later.
Now you can 'Go Walkabout' with all your essential modern conveniences.
Crafted from rugged, water-repellant oilskin canvas, and insulated with pure Australian wool, this ruggedly elegant travel companion fits:
◆ Everything from a 12 oz. bottle to a 1 Liter refillable Nalgene style bottle
◆ It also happens to hold a 750ml Wine or Champagne equally well.
The pure Australian wool insulation ensures your beverage stays properly chilled (or hot) for hours. The two gusset side pockets provide space to carry such necessities as keys, mobile phones, driver's license, credit cards, cash, sundries, or even a corkscrew. The adjustable shoulder strap allows you to wear your Walkabout Essentials in comfort, over the shoulder or across the body. This is the perfect companion for walkabouts on the beach, in the woods, or in the concrete jungle.
