What is the specialized knot used to secure a
wine bottle, to chill it while towing astern?

Heck, you'd end up with wine slushies half the time in Lake Michigan. =
Just stuff it in the cooler for awhile and save yourself the time of =
tying another knot.

I didn't know there was one. I've used a series of rolling hitches
followed by a timber hitch to do this, also a mesh bag. The mesh bag
works best for six-packs, tying a line through the plastic rings
usually drops a can or two in the wake.

BTW there are a lot of places where the water is too warm to properly
chill wine or beer.

Safer to put it in a wet sock and let stand in the wind.

Drink red, you don't need to chill it.

I have heard of people using a jury rig mast head to hold beer bottles.
