That is only 0.54 cal/cc C compared to water with a figure of 1.0.
So water still has greater merit as a thermal buffer.

Yep. But it's runny.
I have a modest proposal to combine the benefits of water
and silica:
We will use wine bottles in the bottom of the cooler as thermal
masses. Sadly, any bottle showing any signs of leakage whatsoever
will have to be replaced, the leaking bottle being
uncorked and the
contents tested. At length.
Hear! Hear!
I vote for a continuous cycle of testing. We dare not
allow even the
beginnings of a leak to appear.
I volunteer as chief tester.
I agree. Finally a sound solution I can live with. Naturally
we need to sample several bottles to ensure the proper
quality level and an even and good temper over each session.
One might wish to be careful about this process. If the time-nut leading you
to the temperature controlled chamber is named Montressor, and the first bottle
you sample is Medoc, and he keeps commenting on the efflorescence on the
walls,...
Depends on the vintage... I might bring my sample glasses in their
specially adapted carrying-case. A good Medoc may still be a spoil for
my still highly uncalibrated lab, but would be very interesting indeed
to sample.
Cheers,
Magnus
