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.
Meet the Woolamai One ... The 1st of the NEW Cape Woolamai collection of Premium+ ice-free coolers and koozies.
Crafted from rugged oilskin canvas, and insulated with pure Australian wool, your Woolamai One will adopt the temperature of whatever you put in it and hold that temperature for hours. Keep a bottle of White wine perfectly chilled, or your Red wine at cellar temp, from the first sip to the last. Whether you are relaxing on the patio or by the pool, cruising on the water or picnicking in the park, or simply enjoying a meal with family or friends, the last glass poured from each bottle will taste as great as the first.
The introduction of the original Wooly Wine Cooler showed Americans how much more enjoyable life can be when you go ice-free. As we listen to the thousands of loyal customers who love their Didgeridoonas products as much as we do ours, we hear all the great "if only it had" ideas for how the excellent might be perfected.
How could we improve on something as beloved as the Wooly Wine Cooler? To make adding wine to your life's adventures and celebrations that much easier, we added a hidden side pocket to your Woolamai One, perfectly sized for the sommelier grade waiter's corkscrew you will find inside.
Your Woolamai One can comfortably carry anything up to a 1 Liter bottle, and YES it accommodates Champagne bottles. So, lift your glass and toast to the Woolamai One, the ultimate ice-free wine bottle cooler.
Salute!
