Is it possible to freeze wine for future use

freezingstorage-methodwine

I wanted to freeze some leftover wine (about half a bottle) to use for cooking at a later date.

  • Will it keep at all?
  • Are there any special ways to freeze it?
  • Would freezing it in the bottle be safe?
  • Should it be defrosted first before using, or can I use it straight out of the freezer?

Best Answer

I tried freezing leftover wine many years ago, and it does work. You can just freeze it in the original bottle.

The flavors are somewhat muted compared to the same wine unfrozen. Not recommended for drinking the wine, but it is acceptable for cooking purposes.
