An apparatus regulates a temperature of a fluid inside a container and dispenses the fluid from the container. The apparatus has a body with an axis, a cavity adjacent a distal end, a bore adjacent a proximal end, and a fluid inlet formed through the body to the bore. The body contacts the fluid inside the container. A second fluid may be located and sealed inside the cavity, and have a freezing point of about 10° C. or less. A nozzle may be mounted to the body. The nozzle has a channel in communication with the fluid inlet through which the fluid flows out of the container through the nozzle. A seal may be mounted to the body. The seal may have a radial seal to seal radially between the body and an interior of the container, and an axial seal to seal axially between the nozzle and the container.

1. An apparatus for regulating a temperature of a fluid inside a container, and dispensing the fluid from the container, comprising: a body having an axis, a cavity adjacent a distal end, a bore adjacent a proximal end, a fluid inlet formed through the body to the bore, and the body is adapted to contact the fluid inside the container;a second fluid located and sealed inside the cavity, the second fluid having a freezing point of about 0° C. or less;a nozzle mounted to the body, the nozzle having a channel in communication with the fluid inlet through which the fluid is adapted to flow out of the container through the nozzle; anda seal mounted to the body, the seal having a radial seal adapted to seal radially between the body and an interior of the container, and an axial seal adapted to seal axially between the nozzle and the container. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the nozzle has a proximal end that is substantially flat and perpendicular with respect to the axis, a wall that is generally semispherical extending distally from the proximal end, and the channel is substantially concentric with the proximal end and wall of the nozzle. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the seal comprises a third seal extending from the axial seal, the third seal having a diameter that is larger than a diameter of an opening of the container, the third seal is adapted to seal between an exterior of the opening of the container and an interior of a wall of the nozzle. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of an outer surface of the body is undulated. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the body has a neck that is straight and cylindrical, and the neck has a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the body. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus does not comprise a cap, a plug or closure of any kind for the nozzle, such that the channel of the nozzle is completely unobstructed for fluid flow from the container. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the body has a radial wall thickness at the bore (Rb), and the body has a radial wall thickness at the cavity (Rc) that is less than (Rb) by at least about 10%. 8. An apparatus for regulating a temperature of fluid in a container, comprising: a body having an axis, a proximal end, a distal end, a cavity inside the body, an elongated shape in an axial direction, and a series of radial bulges axially spaced apart from each other;a fluid sealed in the cavity and having a freezing point below about 10° C.; andan assembly mounted adjacent the proximal end of the body, the assembly having a radial seal adapted to seal an opening in the container of fluid, a channel that has no closure and is completely unobstructed and adapted to dispense fluid therethrough from the container, and a seal having a radial seal adapted to seal radially between the body and an interior of the container to form a sliding and temporary seal with an interior of the container, and the radial seal is axially spaced apart from the fluid inlet. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the assembly comprises a nozzle mounted to the body, the nozzle having the channel in communication with the fluid inlet through which the fluid is adapted to flow out of the container through the nozzle. 10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the seal comprises an axial seal adapted to seal axially between the nozzle and the container. 11. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the nozzle has a proximal end that is substantially flat and perpendicular with respect to the axis, a wall that is generally semispherical extending distally from the proximal end, and the channel is substantially concentric with the proximal end and wall of the nozzle. 12. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the seal comprises a third seal extending from the axial seal, the third seal having a diameter that is larger than a diameter of an opening of the container, the third seal is adapted to seal between an exterior of the opening of the container and an interior of a wall of the nozzle. 13. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the body has a neck that is straight and cylindrical, and the neck has a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the body. 14. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the body has a radial wall thickness at the bore (Rb), and the body has a radial wall thickness at the cavity (Rc) that is less than (Rb) by at least about 10%. 15. An apparatus for regulating a temperature of a fluid in a bottle, comprising: a body having an axis, a proximal end, a distal end, a cavity inside the body, the body being elongated in an axial direction such that an exterior of the body is generally tapered axially for a substantially entire axial length thereof;a fluid sealed in the cavity and having a freezing point below about 0° C.; andan assembly mounted adjacent the proximal end of the body, an exterior of the assembly is adapted to seal the bottle of fluid, an interior of the assembly is adapted to dispense fluid therethrough without an aerator, and a seal adapted to form a sliding and temporary seal with an interior of the container; and whereinthe seal is mounted to the body, the seal having a radial seal adapted to seal radially between the body and the interior of the container, and an axial seal adapted to seal axially between the nozzle and the container. 16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the assembly comprises a nozzle mounted to the body, the nozzle having a channel in communication with the fluid inlet through which the fluid is adapted to flow out of the container through the nozzle. 17. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the nozzle has a proximal end that is substantially flat and perpendicular with respect to the axis, a wall that is generally semispherical extending distally from the proximal end, and the channel is substantially concentric with the proximal end and wall of the nozzle. 18. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the seal comprises a third seal extending from the axial seal, the third seal having a diameter that is larger than a diameter of an opening of the container, the third seal is adapted to seal between an exterior of the opening of the container and an interior of a wall of the nozzle. 19. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the body has a neck that is straight and cylindrical, and the neck has a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the body; and the body has a radial wall thickness at the bore (Rb), and the body has a radial wall thickness at the cavity (Rc) that is less than (Rb) by at least about 10%.
