Dress up Ur Vino!

Don't have a big glass to keep your wine cool? Is there a better way??

Well, have you ever tried putting ice cubes into your glass of vino and then only to realise that after a couple of minutes, instead of enhancing your enjoyment, the ice cubes are ruining your beloved drink? You see, I totally understand the frustration that one can get when you just simply love to drink the wine chilled but yet you do still want to capture the beautiful essence in that glass of wine. Here's something you might like to try!

Try putting some frozen grapes into your glass of white wine. Hmm, you're probably thinking why not red wine. Well, if you prefer it that way, grant yourself the wish according to your desires but just some knowledge might help to explain here. The norm for serving wines have been such that white wine is to be served chilled while the red wine is to be served at room temperature. However, this is usually used as just a starting point of reference. This is because while it is easy to understand when we say white wine should be served chilled, the serving of red wine shouldn't really be taken from the exact definition of room temperature. In fact, the ideal serving temperature for many fine red wines is perhaps 14ºC to 18ºC. So, adding frozen grapes might not be as suitable for red wine. (^^) Guess this should solve your little penny thoughts there!Now let's go back to our chilling tip!

Well, so what's so great about this tip. Firstly, you can finally enjoy your vino without seeing it getting diluted now and this definitely means you will get what you really paid for! Secondly, this frozen grapes are perfectly in theme with your vino and it will surely help beautify that drink you're holding in your hands. Remember appreciating wine is a wonderful thing! It'll be a terrific thing if you do not restrict your indulgence to just your tongue! Besides, a nice presentation is always welcomed! *cheers*
