Thoughts?

Some wine lovers see ice cubes in wine as a quick way to chill a glass; others see it as flavor-ruining blasphemy. Wine temperature matters—reds shine just below room temp, whites and rosés chilled, and sparkling wines even colder. Too warm and alcohol overwhelms; too cold and flavors dull.

**Pros of Ice in Wine:**

* Fast cooling
* Personal taste
* Refreshing in hot weather
* Casual vibes

**Cons:**

* Dilutes flavor and structure
* Changes aroma and body
* Considered bad etiquette by purists

**Better Options:**

* Reusable chillers or frozen grapes
* Wine sleeves or ice buckets
* Wet paper towel in freezer trick

**Bottom line:** In formal tastings, skip the ice. But at home? Your glass, your rules. If it makes you happy, sip it your way.
