Question: Can you keep a bottle of wine in the freezer for up to 12 hours!? (or more!?) without it freezing!?
i know if u freeze coca cola it explodes, but does the alcohol content of wine keep it from freezing during this time!? if wine DOES freeze, how long can u keep it in the fridge without it freezing!?! ty!

thanks, i ran out of room in my fridge =( lol ;)Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
To your first question: no, it'll break due to the wine expanding as it freezes!.

To your second question: Most wines have between 10% to 20% alcohol, it isn't enough to stop it from freezing!.

To your third question: I'll assume you meant to say how long you can keep it in the FREEZER and not FRIDGE and the answer is an hour!. That is a safe period of time, possibly longer, but it isn't worth the risk

It would be better if you filled a container with ice and salt and keep the bottle there until you have made space in your fridge for it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It would depend on the type of wine!. Some wines have 50% alcohol!. The cold will damage the taste whether it freezes or not!. It would be better to keep it in a cool dark place then an hour before you want to drink chill it in the fridge!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A standard bottle of wine (12-15% alcohol) will freeze will partially freeze within 3 hours in my standard freezer, so I would not recommend it for 12 hours !

I believe Vodka will never freeze due to its high alcohol contentWww@FoodAQ@Com

Wine will freeze in just a couple of hours due to the low alcohol content!. Wine is mainly grapes or whatever fruit it's made from!.
Now liquor, vodka, gin, etc, will never freeze!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Most liquids expand during the freezing process so there's a good chance that the bottle will crack!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes you canWww@FoodAQ@Com

I have had a jug of wine explode in my freezer, so I would suggest against it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

YES!. Alcohol takes a long time to freeze!. Some will not freeze at all!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes, thats where i keep mine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
