Ever through of reaching for ice cubes to chill your wine? Hold on! Ice is the enemy to your enjoyment. While it seems like a quick fix, adding ice can actually ruin the taste of your wine: from the disaster of dilution, tampering the wine's temperature, or even losing the wine's complexity!
In this video, our in-house sommelier Chie shows Wei why you shouldn't put ice in wine, as well as when it's actually okay to do so!

There is something I saw in one of travels to Spain, I don't recall when, but they mixed red wine with coke and ice; I believe it's called kalimotxo. Perhaps an episode with unusual combinations with wine. I love all the videos made by your company, all very educational and fun
Yes, the Kalimotxo is a very popular cocktail in Spain! Thank you so much for the suggestion
yeeeaaahhh...gonna have to disagree. I love ice in white, and when it's hot, I might just put a single cube in red. I am in Queensland, Australia. I do agree with the idea of enjoying it how the winemaker intends, and that's where I learned my ice habits, so if i'm wrong, so are they. If i'm in air-conditioning then it's all good by itself. I think you made a good video, but all of the 'exceptions' to the rules really proves that the rules are flexible
That's true! Though it may also depend on what you actually want from your wine. If your intention is to enjoy it, then it doesn't actually matter: you're the one drinking it, so it's fine! But if you really want to taste the wine and get exactly what you're paying for, then it really would be a waste to add an ice cube
All this I information is true, but if you aren't enjoying your wine because the temperature is too warm, just add ice. Italians add ice to their red wine when it's too warm. If Italians do it, then it's fine for me!
There are definitely exceptions to the rule! French people do it with rose in the summer, too! Perhaps a better way to approach it would be to say that adding ice to your wine is fine, but it shouldn't be the default. And that's especially true when you really want to taste your wine!
