Cold red wine Tom Smith

In Southern Italy a couple of summers ago, I drank local red wines served nice and cold.  It's hot there in the summer, and you want it cold.  Beer can be too fizzy when it's really hot, and while a crisp chardonnay is always welcome, sometimes red is just what you want.

Here's how to do it if you are a wine enthusiast, the New York Times way.  Or, just get a high quality box wine like this, fill an old fashioned glass with ice, and pour on the merlot or the cab.  Or just keep the box in the fridge.  Box wine is the future I tell you, the future! Spend money on the wine, not the fancy bottle and graphic arts marketing consulting PRBS.  Anyone who sniffs at you probably doesn't really like wine.  Just drink it before the ice melts.

Remember, your doctor says 2 glasses of red wine per day is good for you.  However, avoid drinking more than one half-bottle per half-night.

Chilling your wine the NYT way means inserting live worms into your arm????? By the way, I agree, most red wine is drunk way to warm in this country. The whole room temperature for red wine thing was based around room temperature in northern france in the winter before good heating came on the scene.
