About 2 months back, this very concept got some group time. It seems that one
of the members here did the experiment and was disappointed as to the "
drinkability" of the frozen wine. I had intended to try it, but after that
post, decided that one experimenter was enough. Unfortunately, I do not recall
who that poster was, but think it was one of the experienced statespersons.
I'll do a Google.Groups search and see what I can turn up.

Now, if one did the ice-tray thing, for cooking purposes, then maybe it would
not be quite so bad.
