Putting ice in your white wine doesn’t chill it down the way putting it in the fridge for hours does though woofy, so you’ll still be able to taste the wine and not just the coldness.
If it’s carp white wine it’s best to chill it down as far as you can then you don’t taste it...

I used to have a thing for Provençal rosé (that's the very dry rosé in the sexy bottle) and drank it as cold as I could get it.

What we do as kids, eh!

Despite what other ABers say ,and I respect their opinions, I believe allowing red wine to breath enhances the flavour greatly.
I had a Sunday Roast in my local village pub b4 Christmas. After eating the starters I decided on a house red to go with my Beef meal. I don’t know what the red was apart fro being a house wine served in a wide mouthed glass similar to a brandy goblet. It was fantastic. A good substitute for port with cheese and biscuits. I am in Burton as I write. Might bumble down the local to find what wine I had later and have another or two in a large mouthed goblet.
