Kitchen HACK: Keep Your Wine ICE COLD On A Hot Day
Don't water good wine down with ice cubes...
Lukewarm wine is the pits. But why spend $20 — or even $2 — on a nice bottle of wine, just to dilute it with ice cubes? Yuck.
Want to know how to keep your glass of wine crisp and chilled on a hot summer day?
Easy: freeze some grapes and add them directly to your glass! That way, you can enjoy a drink that's cool, refreshing, and undiluted.
Now you can enjoy that chardonnay all day, every day.
