What is the freezing temperature of wine?

[Edit]

About 23 degrees Farenheit

Because wine is a water based solution containing ethanol (and various other solutes), it has to get colder than the 32 degrees (0C) at which water freezes; Generally in the low 20F (-7C)range, depending on the type of wine.

Here is more input:

The freezing temp of wine lies in the range of high teens to Low 20's (15-23 degrees F) Wine is a mixture of mostly water and alcohol. It all depends on how much alcohol is contained in the wine, The more alcohol the lower the freezing point will be (Alcohol such as Vodka with a higher alcohol content, or proof, has a much lower freezing point).

Just remember-The typical temperature of a household Freezer can range from 5-8 degrees Farenheit: which is lower than the temp range it takes for wine to freeze.

The water in the wine will expand into ice crystals (water is unique in that it expands as it freezes)and with no where else to go, the liquid will force the cork out or break the bottle, so be careful and opt for ice cubes (or plastic cubes to avoid diluted wine).


pure ethanol has a freezing point of aproximately -173 degrees farenhiet

the water however will freeze at 32 degrees

therefore at 32 degrees it will form a slushy solution

so actualy wine will not fully solidify until it reaches -173 degrees

but it will form into a semi-solid state however it will expand when lowered to 32 degrees so don't freeze a seeled botle of wine or it will crack the glass
