Ice wine, also known as ice wine, is a sweet white wine made by squeezing frozen grapes and fermenting by traditional methods. This wine has low yield and high quality, so its price is relatively expensive. Generally, according to the raw materials, quality, place of origin and brand of ice wine, the average price is about four or five hundred yuan to six or seven hundred yuan a bottle. When purchasing, we should pay attention to the selection of place of origin, grape varieties, type and year of ice wine, and consider the economic budget. Let's take a look at what ice wine is. 1. What is iced wine?

Icewine, named ice wine in English, is a kind of sweet white wine, which is made from grapes naturally frozen on the vine when the temperature is low.

Generally, ice wine is a wine brewed by delaying the harvest of grapes, keeping the grapes on the branches for a certain period of time when the temperature is below -7℃ under natural conditions, freezing, harvesting, squeezing in the frozen state and fermenting (no additional sugar source is allowed in the production process).

According to legend, ice wine began to spread since it was discovered unintentionally in Europe 200 years ago. At that time, German vineyards suffered from sudden frost damage. In order to save the losses, winemakers squeezed frozen grapes and fermented them by traditional methods. Surprisingly, they found that the result was a balanced proportion of sweet and sour, sweet as honey, so they named it ice wine.

Second, what is the price of ice wine?

Ice wine is a wine brewed from ice grapes. Because the production, output and quality of ice wine are strictly controlled and the quality is high, the price is usually more expensive. How much is a bottle of ice wine?

The specific price varies according to factors such as raw materials, quality, origin and brand of ice wine.
