@awk Back in my delinquent high school days, I scored a case of (cheap) beer from a friend. Being under age, I stored it in the trunk of my car until an opportunity to drink it arose. In the winter. I don’t know if you’ve ever popped the top of a partially frozen beer, but let’s just say the contents tend to exit the container in dramatic fashion and deposit itself on whatever is nearby. Once my buddy and I had recovered from the initial anointment, we had great fun sharing with unsuspecting others.
@sicc574 Jerry Jeff definitely added to the Texas country music scene with which he was associated (though he was born in New York with a different name!) through his songs, most of which he wrote himself (“Mr. Bojangles” probably being the best known of all those.) “Sangria Wine” and “Up Against the Wall Red Neck Mother” are probably his best-known covers and also were favorites of his fans.
He was the headliner at a concert I was backstage for, and two things I noted were that he was the shortest performer on stage and also didn’t seem very friendly to anyone, but that might have just been his psyching himself up for the show and the fact that most of the other performers were very local talent and not at all well-known. Both of those traits surprised me though.
RIP, Jerry Jeff.
Say Hi to Waylon Jennings, Leon Russell and the rest.
If the wine is cheap enough that I’d buy it, and is still not vile, then adding ice isn’t likely to ruin it. But since I generally drink the stuff at room temp anyway (on the rare occasions when I do), it hardly matters.
If I forget to chill a wine and want to drink it I’ll swirl a cube or two chill it but it’s only wine that’s supposed to be chilled anyway. My aunts drink reds with ice in it and it always boggles my mind.
How about ice in beer?

Grape juice and ice are never good together.
Ice Wine! Yeah Baby!
Oh, ice in wine. No sir.
Only if they are in a sangria together!

if it’s white who cares

The Brits often call it “plonk”.

Generally the only time we have ice in our wine is if we forget to take it out of the freezer when we are trying to quick chill a white…
If you like wine, then you like licorice. But there is ICE in licorICE, ergo, Ice in your Wine.
@phendrick I like wine. I don’t like licorice candy. (But I do like licorice root tea.
)
I don’t like wine

@Star2236 Would you drink cherry pop with ice in it? Same thing, IMO (especially if a lot of ice were to melt).
@phendrick @Star2236
if your wine is as sweet as cherry pop I would say you are doing it wrong…
@chienfou @phendrick
I hate cherry anything so I don’t get the reference.
@Star2236
Sorry that was really aimed at this
reference, not your post.

Start 'em young I say!
Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill on the rocks.
People who complain about wine with ice probably also fall for that shitcago fable about hot dogs not deserving ketchup.
@duodec I see your Boone’s Farm and raise you a Thunderbird Apple.
