Frozen wine

[winoweenie]

In the hecktic 78 harvest, Flora Springs harvested their first cabernet grapes, crushed them, then found out that in their infinate wisdom the BATF hadn't issued their bond yet for their fledgling winery. Knowing the outcome could be a passel of VERY expensive vinegar, Julie and the rest of the family decided to freeze the must, stop fermentation, and await the bond from the idiots at Treasury. I forget how long the juice was frozen but afterwards it was thawed, fermented and bottled and was one whale of a nice 1st effort. Freezing IMHO doesn't alter any of the basic components as long as the wine is securely corked. In your case I think you'll find the wine sound as when bottled as long as you drink it today. The key is the cork. WW
