Brew Cellar's Wine Tips

Need to chill wine in a hurry?

If you are like us, chilling the wine is the last thing you remember when you are busy preparing for a dinner party.  Wine should never be served warm, even reds should be chilled ever so slightly. 

Here's a great way to chill wine in a hurry. It's a simple technique borrowed from the old-fashioned ice-cream churn – using salt to reduce the melting point of ice.

Make a brine in an ice bucket by adding scoops of salt to a mixture of water and ice. Depending on how much salt you’re prepared to sacrifice for the cause, the results can be dramatic. The formula requires submerging a bottle in one quart of water mixed with one cup of table salt and four quarts of ice. A bottle at 24C, typical of summertime room temperature, will reach a fridge-like temperature of 3.3C in 34 minutes.

Not sure what to make? Perhaps you need more information? Just ask our advice and we will be happy to help you making your own beer and wine to build your own cellar.
