The more alcohol in beer, wine, and liquor, the longer it will take to freeze. So if you have a fruity, less potent wine, like Boone’s Farm, it will freeze at a higher temperature.

On the flip side, if you have a strong wine with a high alcohol content, it will have to get really cold for it to freeze. Some wines may need to go all the way down to 15 degrees F to become almost 100 percent frozen.

Since wine has water in it, the water will freeze at 32 degrees F and you will be left with a slushy wine until it gets cold enough to freeze the alcohol.

Freezing wine is a bad idea because the bottle could burst. Water expands when it freezes forcing the bottle to expand and break. Wine can’t really become 100 percent frozen because the small amounts of ethanol in the wine won’t freeze until they reach -175 degrees F.

So does wine freeze? Yes!

That being said…don’t try to freeze wine.
