Although it has reached September, there are still many areas in the entire northern hemisphere that are in high temperature. For wines stored at room temperature, cooling down quickly before serving is a preparatory step for hot weather. In addition to refrigerators, ice buckets are a common means of freezing. However, do you really know how to use ice buckets?

As the name suggests, the word ice bucket means a bucket with ice cubes. However, when using an ice bucket, only ice cubes and buckets are not enough. There is another key step, that is, adding water.

Many people think that as long as the wine bottle is placed in ice cubes, the temperature can be lowered. In fact, the effect of ice-cold is very poor. Pour half a bucket of water into the ice bucket filled with ice cubes, which can increase the contact area between the wine bottle and the ice water. The ice water will quickly absorb the heat in the wine during the melting process to achieve cooling. Effect.

If there are only ice cubes and wine bottles, since the contact area between the two is too small, the air between the two is filled, so the ice effect is almost zero.
