Lowering the freezing point of the iced water??? more like lowering the melting point of the ice in the water!

Those are not two different things.

They are, depending if you started with water, or with ice.

 

All this talk of ice and salt and cooling things makes me want to go find a hand cranked ice cream maker.

So, at what temp is the perfectly chilled wine? Then, I would have to ask to whom are we referring? Does a Wine Aficionado care for the chilled vs room temp?

Because frankly I have no idea, since Gin just barely found a place in my Liquor cabinet.

Help a brother out please.

The worse the wine, the colder it should be. I've tasted wines that should be served as a popsicle.

Thanks, good to know since I purchase wine 50% or better sometimes or the logo like a halloween type wine. You never know what your going to get, but why pay top dollar to serve a guest you have no idea you'll even like, as soon as they get drunk they just want more, then they get really annoying.

Personal long term friends get top shelf.

It has always been my understanding white is served chilled, with red at room temperature?

Yes, red somewhere between wine cellar temp ( about 60°F) and room temperature (75°F).

Some red wines, like cheap regional wines (Niagara Falls area, for example) need some ice!

(Or should be reserved for cooking instead of drinking - or used as a solvent or melting sidewalk ice.)​

The lighter the wine gets, the colder it can be served. Some really nice white wines (white Bordeaux like Graves) can (should) be served at room temp.

I normally serve them as an ingredient for my roasts.

Not on my sidewalk! ... i wouldn't want it to acquire an undeletable purple-brownish hue that I'd have to contemplate the rest of the year...

Hey!!!... it snowed here about 18 years ago and I almost had to wear an elmer's hat to keep my ears warm...

Have another beer eh!

Max.

 

Although they would be a little over dressed today, 32°c or 38°c with the humidity index.
WE have cold beer on tap!

Not to be funny but to be clear, my brother and people in Utah suffer similar temperatures. But, you loose much more than you think and if your not a water drinker, you might think your hydrated and not. Very bad indeed, keep drinking water if you are out in even normal weather, drink water even though you have a drink or two.

Just as precaution, down 16oz in the morning to be sure, otherwise off to a bad day.

A little over a year ago, the 20 year old son of a friend of mine died because of dehydration and heat stroke while climbing one of the mountains surrounding the city... it was a horrible, sad tragedy... I also have a 20 year old son who likes hiking, and to think about it only drives it home more intensely ... never, ever underestimate the damage that dehydration can cause

It seems the jury is still out on it?
Here is one.
"Researchers at Granada University in Spain have found that beer can help the body re-hydrate better after a workout than water or Gatorade. Professor Manuel Garzon also claimed the carbonation in beer helps to quench the thirst and that its carbohydrate content can help replace lost calories, The Telegraph reports.Feb 10, 2013"

Vikings, drank warm beer I don't know about how to make it, but if it is different than brewing today I don't know. Doing that over sea water without additional water I can't imagine.

Just saying didn't think about it, but rationing would have been a big part of planning.

Edit: Over long sea voyage would have been worse than short stints on costal area. Like I said never thought about it.

 

Vikings, drank warm beer

Actually, beer is cereal-based. It can be made out from barley, wheat or oats, for instance... and Vikings never did excell at agriculture... so their drink of choice was rather mead, which is honey-based.

The basic's haven't changed much over the centuries. Clean water, Malted Cereal, (barley etc), yeast and hops.
Today's commercial brands use clarifiers and filtration and different ways of carbonation.
I am not sure what they use to stop chill haze, which occurs with some home made beers, usually the light coloured lagers, that are perfectly clear until chilled.
Possibly occurs when carbonation is done in the bottle instead of Co2 injection method.
