You’ve been there: it’s hot out. Guests are on the way and you suddenly realize you’ve forgotten to chill the white wines. Before you start shoving bottles in the freezer, take a deep breath. You can confidently greet your guests and offer them a drink – we have a simple method to cooling down those summer sippers in less than 15 minutes.
Step 1: Grab an ice bucket – it should be just large enough to easily fit all bottles standing on the base of the bucket
Step 2: Fill it half-way with ice
Step 3: Add water – enough that the ice is mostly suspended. Your wines will chill much faster in ice cold water than in the dry refrigerator or resting on solid ice cubes
Step 4: Add Your wine bottle(s) – they will be cold and refreshing in less than 15 minutes
Step 5: Pour a couple glasses and enjoy
We told you it was easy!
