Frozen vs Heated Wine | Masters of Wine Put It to the Test !

What really happens when your wine gets overheated… or completely frozen? 🍷
In this experiment, we take the exact same wine and put it through three very different conditions:

1. Heat-Damaged Wine: left outside under the scorching sun for several hours until the cork began to leak.

2. Cellar Temperature Wine: stored normally as our control bottle.

3. Frozen Wine: placed in the freezer overnight until solid, then thawed the next morning.

We sit down to taste them side by side and ask:

Does extreme heat ruin a wine’s aroma and flavor?
Can a frozen wine still taste fresh after thawing?
How do these compare to a bottle kept in ideal conditions?

This isn’t just about curiosity – it’s about what could happen to the wine you buy, ship, or store at home. From cooked flavors to surprising freshness, the results may change the way you think about wine storage forever.

👉 Stick around until the end to see which bottle shocked us the most.
