Wine Freeze Glass

The Wine Freeze Glass from Esplanda is a piece of drinkware, not a wine, so it has no grape, tasting notes or vintage. The listing gives no capacity, materials or care instructions, so what follows describes how freezer-style wine glasses usually work. Check the packaging for this glass's exact specifications. Glasses in this style are normally chilled in a home freezer before use. Most have a double wall that holds a sealed cooling medium, which keeps a pour cold without ice cubes that dilute it. That suits wines served well chilled, such as dry rosé, sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio, sparkling wine, and off-dry or sweet whites like riesling. It also works for light reds that benefit from a short chill, such as a young gamay. For best results, chill the glass for the time the maker recommends, usually a few hours or overnight. Pour wine that has already been refrigerated, and the glass will hold that temperature through a slow pour. Freezing the glass doesn't replace chilling the bottle. Very cold glassware can also mute aroma, so it fits crisp, fruit-forward whites better than complex, aged or full-bodied wines that need a gentler 10 to 13°C. Expect to hand wash and avoid the dishwasher. Don't put a frozen glass straight into hot water, because rapid temperature change can crack glass and damage the seal.
