No it doesn't. From first hand experience, the weather man told me once the overnight low was going to be about 12 degF, so I left my home made wine in my tool shed to cold stabilize (drop out the tartrate crystals). However, the weatherman lied and the temp dropped to 0 degF and a 6-gallon carboy of chardonnay froze solid and broke. My experience is that it starts to turn slushy around 15 degF.Robin Garr wrote:Tim York wrote:Is Chinese New Year on April 1?
Do you think it's Fake News, Tim? I was wondering about that because, in my experience, even at 0ºF or -18ºC, wine typically turns slushy rather than hard, thanks to the alcohol content reducing the freezing point.
