Most of the time they're used for poor people drinks like soda or shitty beer.  The colder the drink is, the harder it is to taste any shitty aftertastes, which poor people drinks often feature.

Yes there is a place for ice in some drinks.  Watering down a glass of red wine is not one of them.  Unless I suppose the wine in question is complete crap and you need to mask the taste in some way as Cal has suggested.

Yuck.  No, you don't do that.
You can chill the bottle a little, 15 minutes in the fridge, but no ice cubes in this.  First, it's gonna be too cold, second, you'll add water to your drink.

If you drink a lot of wine, buy yourself a wine fridge, preferably one with seperate compartments for red&white, and adjust the temp at 18C for the red.
Hot wine is just as disgusting as cold wine.

With shitty red wine, like a 1.5 liter that I've been keeping in the fridge to keep it fresh, I will mix it with ice cubes and seltzer sometimes.  White wine and seltzer is pretty nice too.  I have no shame in joining my Iberian brothers in the enjoyment of Calimocho or Tinto de Verano either.  :swiss:

If you've got a low-quality wine and you want to dilute the taste, mix it with vodka.  Even if it doesn't actually make it taste any better, at least it will decrease the time it takes for you to be too drunk to notice.

That's actually no joke.  Any place with a fountain set-up, the soda water comes out chilled because of--I suppose--the heat transfer action of the CO2.  In any event, it's quite cold.

Tea is usually kept room temperature, however.  But room temperature tea actually tastes pretty decent.

And as others said, you only want to add ice cubes to your wine if it's of terrible quality and you are lounging on the beach next to a Ryanair planeload of Yorkshire teenagers in Mallorca. To do that with good stuff is a crime against humanity.

Edit: This is the kind of wine you put ice and/or coke to:

Ice cubes are a way for restaurants to cheaply fill your glass.

Uhm, restaurants usually open a can or a bottle of a soft drink when they serve it to you, so I can't see how this would work.  :huh:

The only place I have ever seen a restaurant serve a soft drink out of a can or bottle is Mexico.  Poland cannot into soda fountains? :(

You are from the US, right?

In Europe, in restaurants (other than fast food joints), a concept of the "free refill" is almost unheard of. In fact, most restaurants usually make the best buck on soft drinks, as they charge you high prices for tiny (0.2 litre) bottles of coke or soda.

Most places here just give a glass with soda in it.  I assume they have a fountain in the kitchen.

If you've got a low-quality wine and you want to dilute the taste, mix it with vodka.  Even if it doesn't actually make it taste any better, at least it will decrease the time it takes for you to be too drunk to notice.
Ahh Duma...how I do not miss drinking thee at all. Gets you drunk as hell but makes you think you've been hit with a sledgehammer the next morning.

Btw, Romans drank their red wine mixed with water.

Liquid water, not ice.

QuoteIncidentally, a spritzer made of white wine, ice cubes, sparkling water and a slice of green lemon is pretty nice for summer heat.

Get a fan.

They usually pour in front of you, at least in Poland. I guess exactly so that someone does not accuse them of having a fountain in the kitchen (considering they charge about $3 for a thin, tall glass of soda).

that's why Jesus could change water into wine, he simply mixed both and nobody noticed.

If you've got low quality wine, simply don't drink it.

Viper's friendly's advice of the week.

My inner cheap Ukrainian rebels at your suggestion.  But I've paid for it - I must find a way to drink it!
One of my cousin once brought me a cheap bottle of wine.  8$ he paid for it.  Wich means that anywhere in Alberta or the US, it would cost below 5$.
50% of the guests, including me were sick by the end of the evening. 

Don't touch this.

Freeze it in ice bags for later use in cooking.

Politics, religion, morality, ethnicity, philosophy, sports -- I don't get myself too worked up about such trivialities.

But this is a serious matter.  :mad:
