I'm not an expert in thermodynamics (nor do I play one on TV), but I
was once told that dry ice was not as effective because the water in
the brine solution would conduct the heat much more effectively.
Basically this is because of the increase in contact area compared to
even small ice pellets.

Of course, we could always pour a glass of liquid nitrogen and freeze
a room temp. bottle in no time.
