“Wine Slurpee” or “Wine Slush Puppy”????

by Victorwine » Thu Jul 28, 2011 7:31 am

With the recent hot weather and reading Tom Wark’s Fermentation-The Daily wine blog, it got me thinking. Has anyone seen (or tried) a commercially made “Wine Slurpee” or “Wine Slush Puppy”? Such a concoction is not new; it is believed that one of the Roman Emperors made such a drink using snow, honey and wine.

I've had these: http://winecellarsorbets.com/

They're OK.

I'm not certain that I want a lot of alcohol in my refreshing frozen confectionary, however.

A good many chefs throughout Europe and the Middle East (perhaps in America as well but not known to me) enjoy playing with wine flavored ice-creams or yoghurts, some as in-between palate cleansers, others as miniature opening courses and some as desserts. In a good many Italian cities such"slurpees" are also sold at ice cream stands. Most popular of flavors I have found utilize berry fruits and Tempranillo based wines in Italy; off-dry Sekt in Austria (especially in Vienna); and in Israel Viognier with iced slurpees.
