Generally genuine ice wines will keep about 10 years though some will keep longer; bear in mind that the flavours and aromas will change as the years go by. Once opened however your bottle of ice wine should be consumed within a week or so using a wine pump in between – unless you have a Coravin of course.

The 5ft 11in tall bottle, known as The Intrepid, contains 311 litres of 32-year-old Macallan single malt Scotch. It was named in honour of the drive and achievements of 11 of the world's most pioneering explorers, who are featured on the bottle.

A Jeroboam, or a Double Magnum, holds 3 litres of wine (four bottles), where a Bordeaux Jeroboam holds 5 litres.

The freezing effect of an ice wine bottle usually depends on its material and thickness. A high-quality ice wine bottle can quickly reach the ideal freezing temperature and maintain a cooling effect for a longer period of time.

Although ice wine bottles are made of glass, high-quality ice wine bottles are not prone to cracking or deformation under normal freezing conditions. However, if the freezing temperature is too high or the freezing time is too long, it may still cause cracking or deformation.
