Bubble wrap can prevent heat loss due to the small air pockets in each bubble. As heat radiates, the air is heated, and the small pockets generate heat to each other. Which is how the heat is kept inside. It only escapes when the bubbles are popped.

What are the best insulators for heat?
First wrap shiny foil around your bottle to reflect radiant heat. I think bubble wrap is good for the next layer, because it has the most air. Use foam to cover the first 2 layers to prevent heat loss or gain due to conduction. And there you have it, a heat shield!
Is bubble wrap a good conductor of heat?

How does bubble wrap insulate?
The "bubbles" in bubble wrap are pockets of gas, gas does not conduct heat very well due to the low density of gas.
What keeps things colder bubble wrap or aluminum foil?
