Ice cubes in wine

[camelblossom]

I grew up watching my grandmother do it. I just did it because my wine wasn't cold enough and I'm tired of waiting. DH says I'm white trash. Please advise.

Ice cubes in what kind of wine?

[camelblossom]

Sparkling pinot grigio

I find that acceptable. My MIL put ices cubes in her red wine. That is white trash.

I do it at home when the wine isn't cold enough. In sparkling will kill the bubbles.

I just hate the idea of diluting alcohol. If the white wine isn't cold enough, I'll just have red wine. This is probably why I go through so much red.

[camelblossom]

I can't stand alcohol that isn't ice cold. Which mainly why I never drink red. When I do, I usually drink it chilled. And I wonder why DH calls me trashy.

Have you tried using frozen grapes instead of ice cubes?

Lovemonkey, invest in some scotch rocks!

Frozen grapes: mind blown.

This is exactly what I do.

I've done it. Mostly in white...very few times in red wine that doesn't taste good to me. I like the idea of frozen fruit though. Definitely less white trashy

This is what I always do. I keep frozen grapes on hand at all times- just in case.

[krystalskitsch]

I always put ice in my wine... I can't drink it not freezing cold!

[poopers]

At home I will add one ice cube to my red wine.

Sorry!! But technically it's not white trash, since I'm not white. Right??

[Llama in Mules]

Ugh, I was at Whole Foods today and forgot to buy grapes. Mack, why didn't you remind me?

[Deleted]

You were too busy buying your ugly fruit!

[sara76]

Hey if you add some juice, brandy and cinnamon then you've got sangria and that's perfectly ok so what's the difference? As a bartender, I will probably make fun of you, but who cares, who the hell am I to say what tastes good to you. I'm not the one drinking it, you are. Just don't ask for frozen grapes. (although I'm totally going to do that at home now).
