Steps to quickly chill a bottle of cava

The most common trick to rapidly chill a bottle of cava is to place it in a container, such as an ice bucket, with water, ice and salt.

The proportion that is usually put of salt is one part for three parts of ice. The mixture of ice and salt causes an endothermic reaction, the salt needs heat to dissolve in the water and takes it from the bottle, so the temperatures are reversed, the bottle and its contents cool down and the ice water rises in temperature. In principle, in 15 or 20 minutes the cava will be ready to enjoy.
