A method of cooling and dispensing wine comprising steps of:

• removing a wine-filled bag from a prepackaged box of wine;
• sliding an upper front panel upwardly and removing said upper front panel of said an apparatus for cooling and dispensing wine;
• placing said apparatus on a flat surface with rear panel facing downwardly on the surface and lower front panel facing upwardly;
• inserting one frozen liquid pack flat against rear panel;
• inserting said wine-filled bag into apparatus with wine tap facing toward the lower front panel;
• inserting wine tap rear piece through interior locking ring and through exterior locking ring;
• fitting said wine tap into a semi-circular turned up notch of lower front panel with wine tap upper piece facing up and wine tap pouring piece facing downwardly;
• inserting another frozen liquid pack against said front panel and toward the back of the wine-filled bag, on the opposite end from the wine tap;
• replacing said upper front panel with nameplate slot facing outwardly, by inserting a bottom edge of said upper front panel into a slot located on the front panel;
• continuing to slide in upper front panel into position until said upper front panel comes to a rest against lower front panel, thus locking said wine tap in place;
• positioning apparatus in an upright position with top panel facing up and wine tap facing downwardly;
• and
• sliding a drip reservoir top piece between a bottom panel of said apparatus and surface upon which apparatus rests.
