What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

Robin Goldstein 0:04
Welcome. Welcome to the best five-minute wine podcast with Forrest Cali. Okay, let's uh let's talk about the uh cost, um, color scheme or sizes and all of the options that we've got when we go to the web address is the number three RDBottle dot com.

What products are available on 3rdbottle.com and how do they work?

Robin Goldstein 0:32
So it's third bottle dot com. So when we go there, tell me uh what we're gonna hit.
Jeanine Lum 0:37
So when you come onto the website, you're gonna see we have two products available that come in a six pack and a twelve pack. The six pack will hold chill for six to eight hours depending on

How long do the six‑pack and twelve‑pack ice packs keep wine chilled?

Jeanine Lum 0:52
The lid integrity and that ice pack is also interchangeable, interlocking modular lays flat inside the refrigerator. I mean the freezer. And then we have a 12-pack that is also modular, compact for the freezer.

Why does each bag include a condensation towel and how is it used?

Jeanine Lum 1:09
The 12-pack is $3.95, but we have a summer cell right now, and the six pack is On sale for $2.95. You can also purchase the six-pack ice packs or the 12-pack ice packs individually. So if you do have a cooler that can accommodate the height of a wine bottle in the ice packs, and the measurements are all on the website.

Why did Jeanine choose to fill the packs with water instead of pre‑filled gel?

Jeanine Lum 1:32
So if you have something that will accommodate our ice packs, by all means buy the ice packs and insert them into your own personal cooler. The only thing we can't guarantee. is how long that the ice packs will stay cold because We don't know the integrity of how thick your cooler is.

What four reasons (cost, performance, liability, TSA compliance) drove the water‑pack design?

Jeanine Lum 1:50
When you purchase the wine bag, it does come with a condensation towel because the ice packs do sweat very little. That was just more a personal thing for me. I just didn't like the little bit of water that I got at the bottom. So I had the manufacturer design a s towel specifically to absorb that. And they also include the ice pack. So for the purchase of the cooler bag you get the bag, the ice packs and the condensation towel.

How did Jeanine’s experience as a flight attendant influence the TSA‑friendly design?

Robin Goldstein 2:22
Okay. Okay. Perfect. Um just a side question. Wha why do you fill up the uh deals and not have like uh s uh You know, the blue ice or whatever that are already pre filled and Why do you make it? Um what was the thought behind that?
Jeanine Lum 2:38
It would have changed the price of the whole thing. Shipping from the manufacturer to bringing here with customs, the pre-filled ones are considered an into a you're going more into a biohazard, into a chemical balance. And when I did do one prototype with it, it didn't hold the freeze any longer than what regular water will do. So, also one of the thoughts that I had had in doing my due diligence of studying and learning everything about the cooler industry, that I have zero background in. I have been a W-2 employee my entire life. I do not come from a manufacturing background or family. So when I was diving deep into learning about coolers and chemicals and lots of And customs. The water was the better fit.
Jeanine Lum 3:33
It did everything the gel packs do. Even the gel beads that I had purchased a gel pack that had beads in it, and then you added water. So I took the beads out and put it in ours, and it didn't change the length of the chill time. So it was keeping the prices down, keeping the chemicals away. Plus, I didn't want the liability if a kid got into it, if it broke, you know, and somebody ingested it. I didn't want that liability. Plus, this is easier when I met and designed it all for the TSA regulations, because I do love flying to Europe and buying wine. And bringing home wine back in cargo, I wanted to make sure that the ice packs would hold up and they do and I didn't wanna have to deal with TSA and hazardous chemicals and all those questions that they ask you at the TSA checkpoints.
Jeanine Lum 4:35
If you brought your guns, your swords, your chemicals, I didn't wanna have to deal with that either.
Robin Goldstein 4:40
Good deal. So you thought of that?
Jeanine Lum 4:42
Well being a flight attendant helped me think of that because uh I got to listen to those little speeches every day.
Robin Goldstein 4:52
