              Ice wine is produced only in Austria, Germany, northern Italy and Canada. You can now add Brazil to the list! For the first time, well the first time in modern history, the temperature dropped low enough in Brazil to create ice wine. Temperatures in Santa Catarina, Brazil reached -7.5 C (18.5 F). Ice wine requires a hard freeze of -7 C to -8 C. The Pericó Winery claims to be the first winery in Brazil to produce ice wine. There are great pictures of their frozen vineyard on their Portuguese website.  The frozen Pericó Winery (from their website) Ironically NOAA announced May 2009 was the 4th warmest in 130 years of record. Apparently no one told Brazil May was supposed to be a warm month.

“Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.”
