Summer Wine Tips:
- Quickly chill wine in the hot summer nights with an ice bath vs. just a chiller or just in ice.
- Wine shouldn't be in hot sun for more than 15 minutes before dropping in temperature.
- Plastic cups can change the taste of the wine, so the stemware you use can literally help a $15 wine like Cannonball drink like a $40 wine, or it can ruin a $100 wine (to not give it a stem that can help it aerate "open up").
