    Chilled red wine

    Anyone ever tried it?

    LadyWayne bought some red wine online - or at least that's what she thought. Turns out she'd ordered some red that's specifically for chilling.

    I tried some the other night and the description says 'fruity light red'. It ain't wrong. Not bad I say, and quite refreshing. Not sure I'd choose it over a Rioja, but still worth considering for the barbecue summer we're owed.

    Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

    Ya we had some in Spain - was actually quite nice! As you say, really refreshing. The morning after wasn't though! Red wine hangovers and the after taste are quite the opposite

      Never tried the wine Wayne but it sounds interesting especially for that long hot summer.

        I have enjoyed many a chilled red - I'm not sure what variety it was.* Now I'm fonder of rose - which has suddenly got really popular again!

          Essex had a barbecue summer! It was fab! We actually only had five or six barbies, but we did get a good summer. I guess we were lucky!

          As for chilled Red Wine, sorry, no. Fruity and full-bodied for me, but not oak-aged, if you don't mind. If it's hot enough for cold drinks, then it's G&T, Pimms or Stella.

            Well I'm a heathen and dont even drink white wine chilled, except rarely.
            But my pal likes light fruity reds, pref sparkling, and does chill them.
            I prefer dryish full bodied reds (Cabernet Sauvignon) and chilling would kill the roundness and depth of flavour.

              Now I remember - I used to chill the old Beaujolais Nouveau and Beaujolais Villages! Tasty.

                There's only one other option with Beaujolais Nouveau, Jeanie, pour it straight down the sink! LOL

                  I made a red wine once that was 'thin' and tasted much better chilled but I much prefer a full bodied red at room temp.

                    Red has to be room temperature for me and white straight out of the fridge....That's if I can cram it in for all the 1664 I shove in...ya can't beat a cold beer when ya gardening in the sun, rain, fog, wind, snow..... but if someone came to visit that liked there red chilled, I'd pop a bottle in the fridge for them (grudgingly)

                        I seem to remember Suffolk's wasn't bad either...although nearly everyone I know begs to differ

                        I got some Banrock Station sparkly red a couple of years ago,it was for serving chilled.
                        Not bad,although a bit too much like Ribena as far as how quickly you guzzled it.Not sure whether it was that factor or drinking red wine in the middle of a hot day that contributed to the bad hangover

                          Time was, years ago, that American wine made from burgundy and champagne was drunk around the USAF bases in Suffolk - I think I have posted about this before. You could get your car fixed for a few bottles. The wine was called Cold Duck.

                            When we're in France OH keeps banging on about trying some expensive wines. Me I go for the cheaper end of the market as long as it's over 12% . Last time I gave in to the more expensive one it was disgusting whereas the cheapo one I picked was lurvly. Must admit I'm not to keen on Beaujolais p'haps it might be better chilled.
