Can you ruin red wine by putting it in the fridge?
Fridges will keep wine too cool for long-term storage and they produce tiny micro-vibrations that can agitate and ruin your wine through prolonged exposure if you are storing the wine for more than 6 months. For a week or so, a kitchen fridge is fine but any longer, and it is detracting from your wine.
Is it OK to put ice in red wine?
Generally, ice shouldn’t be added to red wine because it prevents the chemicals from escaping, giving the wine an acidic taste and more prominent tannins. It also causes the wine to lose its taste more quickly. When it comes to white wine, adding ice has become much more acceptable in recent years.
