Chill Out for the Summer

July 14, 2010 By Rhino Wino Leave a Comment

                We are in the hot middle of summer, when if it is not hidden away in the air conditioning than it gets warm.  Friends of picnics know this can ruin your food and drinks but it can also ruin wine. Wine is meant to stay chilled, or its flavors suffer.  Reds can lose their aromas and let the alcohol take over while whites lose their crispness becoming bland and buttery.  If you don’t think that those outcomes sound good than you should keep your glass away from the sun and heat.  But that is no fun, its summer so you want to enjoy the outdoors. 
                An easy way to keep your wine from flattening out and getting too warm is to put it on ice.  Just place the bottle in a bucket of ice out of the sun and remind guests not to fill their amplifier pro wine glasses too full. If it is really hot that day than you can also add some simple water and salt brine to the bucket of ice that you put the bottle in.  Salt lowers the melting point of ice, which means that your wine will have more cool to counteract the heat of the day. This should make your summer more enjoyable.
