Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a container (10') for storing a beverage, the container having a container body (12) and a closure (16) and defining an inner chamber, the inner chamber defining an inner volume and including a specific volume of the beverage. The container (10') further includes a cooling device (20') having a housing defining a housing volume. The cooling device (20') includes at least two separate, substantially non-toxic reactants (29) causing an entropy-increasing reaction producing substantially non-toxic products in a stoichiometric number. The at least two separate substantially non-toxic reactants (29) initially being included in the cooling device (20') are separated from one another and causing an entropy-increasing reaction and a heat reduction of the beverage of at least 50 Joules/ml beverage. The cooling device (20') further includes an actuator for initiating the reaction between the at least two separate, substantially non-toxic reactants (29).
