Putting Wine In The Freezer
rather than chilling it properly is so common.






And so is what happens to it when you forget.

This accident brought to you courtesy of Mrs Legless.


Cheers


EDIT: BTW - thats a metal topped wine bottle. The pressure just blew straight through it.

I think
it is a Brown Brothers Cienna - a 'light red wine' which is intended to be chilled. If you want to tut, do so at the fact it is 5% alcohol (assuming I have picked the label correctly)

Absolutely
Spot on.

Now tell me what year and which slope of the vinyard.

But I'm impressed.

You probably should briefly chill your red wine.
Its taste would be improved by reducing the temp by a few degrees. Red wine is best enjoyed at around 18 degrees celsius which was considered room temperature when the 'rule' was set.

Due to central heating and double glazing, most people live in a psuedo-tropical environment pushing 25 degrees. Therefore what we think of as room temperature now is slightly too warm to enjoy some of your favourite plonk at its best.

I did that with a can of coke once
Came back a day later, the fridge walls were coated in brown slush and there was a giant tear in the can, and all my food tasted like....whatever it is coke tastes like for a week

just thought
your missus has invented a solution to the age old problem: how to open a bottle of wine without a corkscrew.

I seem to remember
an episode of Black Books where Dylan Moran did that, smashed the glass, and called it a "lolly".

Classy.

top tip
if you want to chill wine quickly put it in an ice bucket with a handful of salt thrown on the ice

superchill!
