Ice cubes in wine

[Vestisbest]

AIBU 🤣

Never heard of metal ice cubes! Will have to try! Never tried grapes as an alternative. It’s definitely a must in these temperatures!

The ancient Greeks believed only babarians drank undiluted wine, and they used snow if they wanted cold wine (presumably this was a rare treat). I bet they'd have used ice if they had it, and would have thought the naysayers mad!

The trick is not to put in one Orr two cubes, because they WILL melt and water down the wine...

Absolutely fill the glass with ice, as if it were an American soda.

Ice cubes in white or rosé, definitely yes. Red no, but a nice light red like a Pinot Noir with ice might be nice. Must make a note to try.

I picked up the metal cubes in Lidl.
They are fine.

The grapes are really delicious and a very handy way to use them up, as are frozen raspberries, as I love a very dry white.

Depends

If your wine is cheap crap to begin with then the water from ice cubes melting isn't going make any difference or may even be an improvement

If however it's a good wine then why the F would you water it down with ice? If it's hot and your wines getting warm just pour less and keep the bottle cold

No brainier

This is also a great alternative

And looks pretty

Ahhh these remind me of my mums wine in the 80a ... a very practical solution

B and M, HB and Poundland usually have multipacks of the plastic ice cubes so they can be refreshed with each new glass

I go further - big glass, rose or white wine, loads of soda water (not sparkling mineral)

especially in hot weather

I do it in hot weather especially, depending on the wine.
once got told off by a waiter in an Italian restaurant for doing it who said “no no no it’s like putting diesel in-a Ferrari!” *must be said with Italian accent

I tried when in spain, unfortunately i could not like this 🙈 the french in me just thought it was wrong.
