Imagine—your dinner guests have arrived and you’ve forgotten to put your wine in the fridge beforehand. While you may be nervous about pouring some warm wine for your guests, don’t be. Here are some of the best ways that you can chill a bottle of wine in no time.

Ice Bucket And Salt

Pour water into an ice bucket and sprinkle some salt before inserting your bottle of wine. Because salt can lower the freezing point of water, it will ultimately accelerate the cooling process.

Frozen Grapes

While ice cubes ultimately dilute the flavor of your wine, popping some frozen grapes into your glass will actually enhance the overall flavor. What’s more, you’ll have a delicious snack to eat alongside your chilled wine.

Paper Towel And Freezer

Wrap a damp paper towel around your wine bottle before placing it in a freezer. This hack is able to chill your wine in as little as 15 minutes.
