No, I was just pointing out a potential problem.

When you freeze wine, does it freeze hard? That is,
if it is in a flexible ice cube tray will it pop out?

When I've tried to freeze reduced stock in that kind
of tray, the cubes do not freeze hard. They are more
like a firm, compacted slush. When I twist the tray,
they just change shape. They don't pop out.

I've obtained an old-fashioned aluminum tray with a
handle, and that may work for stock, but by the time
I got the tray the interest in making stock had passed.
