Ice wine is a type of super sweet and yummy wine that's made from very cold grapes! Imagine eating a really sweet grape juicy that's even sweeter than a normal grape juicy. That's what ice wine tastes like!
But, the way ice wine is made is very special. First, you need really ripe grapes, like the ones you find in the fall time. Then, you have to wait until it's really, really cold outside. So cold that the grapes start to freeze! The grape juices inside freeze too, but the sweet flavors don't freeze.
Now comes the tricky part! The frozen grapes are picked very carefully and quickly. The grapes are pressed while they're super duper cold. The sweet juice slowly drips out and is collected in special containers! It's like getting honey from a beehive!
After that, the sweet juice is left to ferment (this is sort of like when you make bread and the dough starts growing bigger and bigger). The fermentation process takes a really long time, sometimes even a year! This is when the grape juice turns into yummy alcohol!
Finally, after all that waiting and hard work, the ice wine is ready to drink! It's a really special treat because it takes so much effort to make! Adults who like wine really enjoy ice wine because it's super sweet and tastes different from other types of wine.
