First recorded in 1805–15

I tried beer in high school, before discovering Zima, a sweet and bubbly malt-liquor/wine-cooler hybrid that tasted like Sprite.

Come along, Verlinda; I promised to show you that old wine-cooler we were talking about the other day.

On one occasion some one put a very little wine into a wine-cooler, and said that it was sixteen years old.

Placing the wine-cooler on a service-table, he left it for a few minutes, whilst he laid covers for the new arrivals.

Obtaining a wine-cooler, he had it filled with hot water and, placing the bottle of champagne in it, hurried back to the customer.

At that moment the superintendent discovered the wine-cooler full of hot water.
