Hex-ceptionally cool.. HexClad have teamed up with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s STILL G.I.N. brand to release a new wine chiller, and it's a surprisingly sharp piece of design.Instead of the usual bucket of melting ice, it uses two interchangeable temperature pucks. You freeze the one you need, drop it in the base, and set your bottle on top. It keeps whites around 7°C and reds at 16°C for up to four hours.Beyond the temperature control, I think the geometric metal finish actually makes for a slick centrepiece.It goes for $199 and has arrived just in time for those looking to keep their spirits high and their tables dry this festive season.

With three races to go there’s still plenty of reason to tune in to the Formula 1 season, even after Kimi was crowned in Mexico.Frankly, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton ran out of runway in the regular season to catch the youngest champion in history, but that doesn’t mean they’ll take their foot off the boost button heading into Brazil.São Paulo is one of the great stops on the calendar, with the added weight of being Senna’s home race and a favourite of both drivers. More importantly, there’s still plenty to fight for behind Antonelli, with the remaining podium places up for grabs and Verstappen and Hamilton having every reason to make the final stretch their own mini title race. 2021, anyone?
