Veuve Clicquot Icebox auto-chills bubbly in the bottle

You could pop this traditional bottle of VC Champers at a picnic in the Sahara and it would be perfectly chilled without the need for any ice. Instead, a chemical reaction triggered by breaking the seal inside the box causes the temperature to plummet. Hurrah!

The clever icebox from Selfridges containing your classy Champagne and two contemporary flutes arrives in the striking VC livery and concealed beneath the foam packaging are the two chemicals that react together when you snap the seal – in the same way that glow sticks work when you smack them on the table. And like the glow sticks, it only works once and the cooling effect wears off after a while, so be sure to neck both bottles immediately!
