I have read several blogs where they suggest using your sous vide cooker as a "rapid wine chiller" similar to something many wine shops have. If you want to quickly chill a bottle or two of wine, you can set it in a circulating water bath of cold water and chill a bottle to drinkable in minutes. The blogs suggest setting your cooker to its lowest heat setting and doing so at home with an ice bath. Even so, at 68 degrees (Joule's lowest setting) the ice melts fairly quickly.
Would it be possible, perhaps through a software upgrade, to create a setting where the circulator runs, but the heating element is not turned on? With summer coming, it would be great to use our Joule in this way on a warm summer day when unexpected guests drop by and we need to chill up a bottle (or three) in a hurry.
