Wine is chilled first in the fridge or wine cooler to preserve its freshness, balance acidity, enhance aromatics, and provide a refreshing drinking experience. But what if you have unexpected guests or an impromptu celebration? Perhaps you may not have access to a refrigerator or a wine chiller.

Placing a bottle of wine in the freezer can quickly chill it in a matter of minutes compared to other methods that may take longer. But will it be just fine to chill wine in the freezer?
