Is It Ever Okay to Put Ice in Wine? | Filipino Sommeliers in Metro Manila

[@angeltaloyo9791]

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

[@wineryph]

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
