💨 Abstract

Adding ice to wine is controversial. Some see it as a culinary crime, while others view it as a trendy way to enjoy wine, especially rosé. The practice, dubbed "Vin Piscine," originates from France. Wines with higher sweetness and fruit flavors, like Moscato or some German Rieslings, can handle ice better. However, diluting higher-quality, drier wines with ice can distort their balance and flavors.
