Tomato sauce, wine, soups, and other liquid foodstuffs are excellent contenders for ice cube trays. A housemate in university introduced me to 'red wine cubes' from the freezer for chucking into beef Ragu and it turned my world right side up. We now have bags of all sorts in our freezer.

- Freak_NL 4y agoI wouldn't consider myself a wine snob, but I'm not really looking forward to being served a nice Pinot Grigio from Trentino (DOC) with cubes of frozen Liebfraumilch. The logistics of keeping matching iced versions of wine sound overwhelmingly complex.
- HWR_14 4y agoIf you only buy one type of white wine, boom solved.
- LukeBMM 4y agoThe only problem in this scenario is being the type of person who always drinks the same wine.
- HWR_14 4y agoIn fairness, you'd be the type of person who always drinks the same white wine at a time. Presumably every 4 or so bottles you would run out of ice cubes and could switch. You also could have a variety of red wines available.
- smoe 4y agoThe ice cube trays trick also changed my life after my sister showed me. I even ended buying different sizes of molds to use depending on what I'm freezing. During the lockdowns I also started with some more traditional preservation techniques like oils and vinegars. Not for long term storage (not enough space) but just for a couple days or weeks at a time. E.g. buying a bag of average quality olives then chuck them in a jar with good olive oil, fresh herbs, garlic, optionally things like chili and an orange rind. Yields both great olives as well as flavored oil for dressings.
