In the hot summer, a little cool wine is needed to cool down. Today, Xiaobian introduces several ways to quickly chill the wine.
Salt in the ice bucket
Add ice and water to the ice bucket, which is a common method of ice wine in the restaurant. Why do you want to add water? Because water is a good conductor, it can quickly take away the heat in the bottle. The cooling effect of adding water and ice is much better than the cooling effect of pure ice.
To speed up its ice age, you can add a lot of fine salt to the ice bucket. Because salt can lower the melting point of ice, and the ice absorbs heat when it melts, the heat in the bottle is quickly consumed. If you don't add salt, it takes at least half an hour to freeze a bottle of white wine. After adding salt, you can shorten the ice time to 10-15 minutes.
In addition, you can also turn the bottle continuously while chilling, so that the wine in each plane can be fully contacted with ice water, which can also speed up the ice. You can ice a bottle of white wine in about 7 minutes, about 5 rosé wines. In minutes, red wine is about 2 minutes.
The bottle is wrapped in a damp cloth and placed in the refrigerator.
The temperature of the refrigerator freezer layer is usually 3-4 ° C, the wine should be placed, the speed of cooling should be 4-5 ° C / hour, then a bottle of wine usually takes 1-2 hours to ice to the drinking temperature.
The temperature of the frozen layer of the refrigerator is generally minus 15-12 ° C, the wine is placed, the cooling rate can reach 6-8 ° C every 15 minutes. If your wine is stored at the standard 15 ° C temperature, put the white wine in the freezer for 15-20 minutes and almost open the bottle. The rosé wine is about 15 minutes and the red wine is about 7-10 minutes. .
If you want to make the wine ice faster, it is recommended to wrap a wet tissue or a damp cloth around the bottle. This is naturally the principle of using water to conduct heat quickly. However, it should be noted that the wet cloth that wraps the bottle should not be too thick, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
Divided into small portions to ice
The less the weight of the wine, the faster the ice is. So we can pour the wine into the glass, cover the cup with a glass plate and the like to prevent the loss of the aroma, and then put it in the refrigerator chilled (freezer refrigerator or freezer, but to grasp the degree). You can also pour the wine into a small bottle and put it in a refrigerator or ice bucket.
Frozen grapes
Wash the grapes in the refrigerator first, then put about 4 grapes into the wine glass. The frozen water in the grapes will melt after absorbing heat, but the water formed after melting will not enter the wine.
Use frozen grapes to make the wine ice-cold within 5 minutes, but in the end remember to use fresh tools to remove the grapes and drink them.
Various ice wine makers
Designers have opened their minds and designed a variety of wines specializing in chilled wines such as:
Ice wine bar: stainless steel metal ice wine bar, open the bottle into the bottle. Inexplicably remembered the situation of boiling water in the hot water when I was a child, but the water heater is to warm the water, and the ice wine bar is to cool the wine.
Ice wine stone: Ice wine stone is mainly used for whiskey, but it can also be used for wine. Ice tartar is some natural saponite with different thermal conductivity. Later, it appeared in the metal version. It can be quickly cooled in the wine but it will not dilute the wine like ordinary ice.
Spinning ice: Spinning ice is a very fast way of chilling wine. Put the wine in the mouth of the bottle or the cup, the wine can flow through the wine to complete the ice, you can immediately pick up the glass and enjoy a glass of iced white wine, but such a drastic cooling method has a great impact on the quality of the wine. The taste may not be that good.
