When it comes to drinking wine cold, the majority of people make the error of adding ice cubes to it. That detracts from the flavor of the wine and is considered a negative technique because it dilutes the wine. Wine that has been watered down tastes terrible. When serving wine or champagne, avoid putting ice in the glass. TheGeekPub on YouTube demonstrates a simple method for chilling your wine using only frozen grapes, which we can learn from.
Materials:
- A glass bowl of grapes
- wine glass
- A bottle of fine red wine
Directions:
Take some grapes and place them in a serving bowl. Place the bowl of grapes in the freezer for a few minutes. Allow it to settle for a few hours, or better yet, overnight. When you need to drink wine that hasn’t been chilled and you want to drink it cold, don’t put any ice cubes in your glass. Remove the grapes from the freezer and place a few at the bottom of your wine glass. Pour some of your wine into the glass and set it aside.
That’s all there is to it. You already have a chilled glass of wine to enjoy. You can pass this simple method along to your friends who are interested in learning how to swiftly and easily cool their wine. When it comes to drinking wine, chilled is always preferable. So keep a supply of grapes in your refrigerator at all times, since you never know when you might need them.
Enjoy a wonderful evening with your friends over a glass of wine and some cheese! Don’t forget to throw in the grapes as well.
