Hello!

Years ago, the mum behind Chillihilli bubby coolers found all the standard bottle coolers too bulky to fit into her nappy bag.

Wanting a really simple solution, she put her children’s bottles into her husband’s stubby coolers. The concept worked perfectly but she wanted a cuter option, so set about creating ChilliHilli bubby coolers.

The bubby coolers come in two sizes – wide and slimline – so no matter what bottles you use, you’ll find one to fit. They will keep liquids cool or warm for up to 2 hours and the soft neoprene fabric absorbs any condensation (keeping your nappy bag dry).Best of all, they make bottles easier for little hands to hold!

This is an extra special pre-launch MoM Review. Our mums get the very first bubby coolers to try!

  • These are great for keeping formula cool but couldn’t get it to keep drinks warm unless I used boiling water. Designs are awesome, much better than using an stubby holder with an alcohol logo on it!



  • I would highly recomend these they have been fantastic over the last couple of months.Everything was kept at the right temp and we had other kids and there mums trying to pinch our coolers..lol. Love the fact we had 2 diff sizes to trial and the patterns are great.



  • I got these to try and OMG they are sooo cute!!!!!! They are “just like daddys”… (but of course a LOT cuter) I love the designs and they keep bottles at a nice temp ( Hot or cold however you had them). I love using mine. A big thumbs up here!!!



  • now i can say i’ve truly tested these out over the past few months, they’ve been put through the wash, left in the rain and carried everywhere by my little one. and she STILL loves them!! and they are still in perfect condition!
    definitely an amazing product that all mums need!



  • I love these bubba coolers! My son loves cold milk, so it worked that way for me. And it was great having the two sizes too, cause i have some larger bottles and the smaller ones too. I also have used it on his water bottle too. He loves them!



  • Used the bubby cooler a lot of the the last month! Simple but fantastic product!



  • look really good. cool designs. work well keeping bottles at the right temp for longer 🙂



  • Oops, I have been too busy using my Chillihilli Bubby Cooler I haven’t posted my thoughts, so here goes – I Love It!

    I have been using the wide neck bottle cooler since I received it about 4 or 5 weeks ago. It’s has been used to keep bottles cool, and to keep bottles warm, as the weather has been all over the place.

    They are fantastic to use when out and about, however they are as great to use at home. My DD loves to graze her way through a bottle, so they keep the temperature of the contents at the right temperature for the hour she takes to finish.

    I just love the funky designs. They’re also so easy to stick in the nappy bag if it isn’t already on the bottle when you’re heading out.

    One of those cool and functional baby products we all love to see.



  • I received my Chillihilli bubby coolers just before I went on 3 weeks holiday with my 1 year old. They were really handy keeping his drinks at the right temperature while travelling around and the designs are really cute. What a great product – well overdue!



  • Just took a road trip to the coast for New Years and when packing the car up I put my bubs hot water bottles into the coolers. They were great – lasted a good few hours into the trip and there was no condensation in the nappy bag. Thumbs up!



  • Still using Chillihilli and it is still in great condition. Holding up through all those trips on the road and being squashed into the nappy bag. Would recommend this product and am going to keep enjoying using mine.



  • There’s nothing you can say bad about these handy must have items. My only comment would be a clear panel to see how much my boy has eaten would make it even more spectacular than it its already!!

    Everyone that has seen them has commented on how great they are and I can only agree!



  • Love this product!!!! Still using it and it hasn’t fallen apart!. Use to use the good old stubbie cooler but they are cheap and fell apart very easy (especially the bottom of them), and even after I found my 8 yo pretending the Chillihilli it was a football, the Chillihilli has come up trumps. The cool designs are great too. Will keep using it.



  • I still am loving my Chillihilli! With either heat or cold with the rain my daughters bottles have stayed cooler for longer or warmer for longer. They also make it easy to grip for little hands!



  • LOVE THESE!!!! Really great idea, and can’t believe it’s not been thought of before. Good for you ChilliHilli!!

    My 2yr old loves them for her sippy cups too!! Just fantastic…

    I make sure I HIGHLY recommend them to everyone who asks about them, and I get plenty of people asking!



  • What can I say! they are fabulous I’ve had mine for a couple of weeks and I must admit they have become a neccessity for daily use, keeping my boys milk at a perfect temp in this cooler climate. My only wish is that we would have some summer weather 🙂
    A must to have in any Mums kitchen!



  • We have contiuned to use our Chillihilli buddy cooler over the Christmas period. It kept baby’s bottle nice and cool for her while we where heading south for the hoildays. The in-laws thought the cooler was a great idea and commented on it’s funky design. Though granddad did make a few comments that it did look quite similar to his bottle cooler. Chillihilli was easy to pack to take away.



  • What a lovely surprise it was when I receive these gorgeous Chillihilli bubby coolers!! My son loves the modern owl print & they arrived just in time for the summer heat! I find that they are great for bottles & also pop in snacks in containers to keep them from going horribly wrong!!! Thank you so much for the opportunity to trial them…..these are great little additions to bubba’s nappy bag 🙂



  • Started using these this week…
    I am so impressed! My little one has decided that when she is hungry shes hungry NOW so i always need a botle prewarmed for her… this makes it so much easier.
    going to make life much easier whiler we are out travelling all day for xmas!! Only issue is now that hubby wants one for his beer!! he loves the design!! lol



  • I took my bubby cooler out with us out to the pub last Sat night as we went for dinner after hubby’s cricket game. All the boys and WAGS were so impressed that my little girl had her own drink cooler (even though it was actually keeping it warm) The cover was quite a conversation point with everyone we were with.

For lighter wines that still taste like the real deal, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened range is quickly becoming a go-to. These bottles bring all the flavour with noticeably less alcohol, which is why everyone’s falling in love with them.

Best SIPS’ Chapel Hill Enlightened Wines review team put the Rosé and Pinot Grigio through their paces, and the feedback was unanimous: both are fresh, light and perfect for summer sipping without the unwanted morning crogginess.

A rosé with summer written all over it

Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Rosé is bright, crisp and fruity, hitting all the right notes without tipping into the “too sweet” zone. It’s the kind of bottle you reach for at a casual barbecue or any get-together where you want something delicious but easygoing.

It’s exactly this balance of lightness and full flavour in an affordable bottle that has so many fans raving.

“Light, refreshing and honestly just feels like a little moment of peace in a glass. The flavour is this perfect mix of crisp + fruity without being too sweet — literally the kind of rosé you can sip while you finally sit down after a long day.”

A summer staple … on the lighter side

“Too many of these low alcohol wines just don’t taste enough like the real deal-but this is a sure fire exception. Beautifully refreshing, with a touch of sweetness that’s not overwhelming. A gorgeous colour too, which is a bonus- after all, we also drink either our eyes! Add into the mix a reasonable price point- this rose is a winner!”

“I love a nice glass of Rosé and the Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé did not disappoint! It’s really light and refreshing and tastes like a really expensive wine. I love that this wine is really affordable, so I can enjoy a beautiful Rosé without breaking the bank more often. Definitely give this one a try!”

If your warm-weather wine rack needs an affordable new staple, this is it.

A Pinot Grigio you’ll be buying again (and again!)

For the white lovers, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Pinot Grigio is a solid everyday white that ticks all the boxes: crisp, clean, food-friendly and affordable.

Our taste-testers repeatedly praised how balanced and versatile it feels, whether chilled on its own or alongside simple meals and casual gatherings.

“We love a white to pair with our spring/summer lunches and especially our seafood. This option ticked all the boxes …”

A versatile sip you’ll keep reaching for

“I enjoyed the first sip to the last of this Pinot. Anything with pear and citrus is something I want to try and this lived up to that, but with a lighter alcohol content – which I appreciate! Enjoyed over dinner, it paired really nicely with the food I was eating. This wine is something I’d happily recommend to others.”

“The wine offered just the right balance of fruity flavours – fresh and vibrant, but never overpowering or too sharp. It paired beautifully with both our light lunches and dinner, making every meal feel a bit more special. I also appreciated how crisp and refreshing it tasted, perfect for unwinding and enjoying good company. Definitely a Pinot Grigio I’d reach for again.”

Your lower-alcohol go-to

The team rates Enlightened wines 4.34 out of 5 and recommends them for anyone on the hunt for flavour-forward wine with less alcohol. They’re bright, modern and made for the kind of moments where you’d love a glass, but still want to feel good afterwards.

Find Chapel Hill Enlightened at Dan Murphy’s right now for $17.99 each.

  • The warmer weather tends to make alcohol go to my head faster – I’m not a big drinker, but just for that reason I’d seriously consider a low alcohol wine. The Pinot Grigio particularly sound as if I might enjoy it. I might well buy a bottle or two for Christmas.

  • Looks delicious, would be keen to try their wines based off the reviews. Love anything local and the light wine is just an extra win – low alcohol content would be fab for nights with friends where we all still have to drive home afterwards so would be buying for that type of event!

  • Chapel Hill Wines do have quite a good reputation. I like the fact that it is low alcohol content. Personally, I like a very sweet wine but many would like these as they are not so sweet. I wish them well with sales and think it’s good they are doing something about lowering alcohol level.

  • Thanks for sharing this review. It sounds that the taste is good, the price is good and the alcohol content is really low indeed. I do like the fact that they’re light. One of the things I don’t like when you’re drinking a couple of glasses that it fills you up and it affects your appetite

  • I appreciate all the reviews and think this is an excellent way to get your brand out there and known.

  • I like the sound of the Pinot Grigio and will look out for it next time I’m at the bottle shop.

  • I just asked the forum for recommendations on zero alcohol, but this is an attractive option as well! I do enjoy a Rose, so will try this one after all the positive reviews. It’s a shame they don’t have a sparkling in their collection yet! Would have been prefect for all the celebrating at this time of year.

  • I dislike rose, but the pinot grigio sounds like it might suit me. To be honest, the alcohol content doesn’t bother me all that much – I rarely drink more than a glass or two anyway – but it would probably be nice from a general health point of view to know I’m consuming less alcohol.

  • This sounds like the perfect glass. I do love being able to have a few drinks and not be all over the place about me. And as a bubbly girlie from Adelaide myself, I’m sure I’ll find a lot to like about this drop. Crisp and not too sweet, I’m sold and will have to try it.

  • It was the first time for me hearing about the chapel hill brand. And i still recall when i picked up the Pinot Grigio from my local, the staff there actually stopped me and said i picked a winner! She said that it was probably the best Pinot they had available to sell.

    Reply

  • I’ve heard a lot of good things about Chapel Hill wines and the reviews are always good. I like that they have low alcohol range as I like to have a few glasses when I finally get to have one. Not being too sweet is a bonus that suits me well.

  • The idea of having a lower alcohol content wine without compromising taste is really exciting. There’s nothing worse than feeling “under the weather” from the effects of alcohol. This lovely wine ticks all the boxes, lower alcohol and a refreshing flavour. I’m keen to get the Pinot Grigio in my cart and into my fridge!

  • This wine sounds delightful and really refreshing to enjoy on a summer afternoon. I love that it tastes fresh and crisp and still has the same punch as other wine. It sounds like an absolute delight. I will have to give it a try next time i am at the bottle shop looking for some wine.
