If you happened to forget a bottle with wine in the freezer or in a trunk of the car standing on the street, and noble drink froze – you don't hurry to be upset. When freezing, wine isn't always irreversible loses gustatory qualities. Quite perhaps, it still can be saved.
Instruction
1. Accurately defreeze wine at the room temperature. Don't try to put a bottle in hot water - from a temperature difference it can burst. Don't stir up and don't overturn a bottle until wine is defrozen up to the end, then accurately open. If wine froze not completely and in it small pieces of ice float – don't remove them, let's them thaw and be dissolved completely. The wine filtered from ice will be stronger as the water which is contained in it partially will freeze, and alcohol will remain; besides, its bouquet will be destroyed.
2. At the bottom of a bottle after defrosting the deposit can appear – it crystals of a wine stone are formed. Don't shake up it, and carefully merge and filter drink, without waiting until the deposit is dissolved (it will occur if warming continues). If you after all stirred up a bottle, it should be defended one or two days. The filtered wine will be less sour and slightly will brighten. Experts use cooling of wine for its clarification and clarification, but in house conditions it isn't necessary to try to do it.
3. As far as the taste of wine after its freezing will change, depends on its look. Red will inevitably lose all the advantages, its taste considerably will worsen. But on white wine the freezing quite often makes favorable impact – it becomes softer, more harmonious, more sweet, the aroma amplifies and it seems more gently. Naturally, it is fair in case you bought the real wine – if the counterfeit product got to you, changes which will happen after freezing can't be predicted.
4. When freezing, wine strongly extends and can break off a bottle or push out a stopper and flow out. Therefore nevertheless try not to leave it on a frost for a long time and if you need to cool a wine bottle before giving to a table, place it in the container with cold water or ice for one or one and a half hours better.
