It happens to everyone. The fix is simple physics, and the fastest method gets a bottle properly cold in about ten minutes. Here are five that work, ranked by speed.</p> <h2 id="the-fastest-method-ice-water-and-salt">The Fastest Method: Ice, Water and Salt</h2> <p>Fill a bucket or deep pot with ice, top it up with cold water until the bottle is submerged, then throw in a generous handful of salt. Water carries cold far better than air, and salt lowers the freezing point so the bath drops below zero. Give the bottle a spin every few minutes. A white or rosé is ready in <strong>ten to twelve minutes</strong>, a sparkling bottle in around fifteen. This single trick beats everything else in the kitchen.</p>
