The blend of wine, fruit flavors, sugar, and other sometimes exotic ingredients merge to create a spellbinding taste. However, when you frost this concoction, that's when your tongue throws a party for your mouth. Icy it, or making it in a blender, makes all the difference. Refreshing beyond description.

There are two ways you can go about making wine slushies. One is to find a good recipe, buy all of the ingredients and make it from scratch.

These are all yummy Icy wine drinks, however, they are expensive because of all of the many separate ingredients you have to buy. Plus, they wish a trip to the store to buy all of the ingredients. Some recipes are also a hassle to make. This doesn't say much for convenience.

Our next selection is the dry wine slush mix. This selection eliminates all of the negatives mentioned above. As a maker of a dry wine slush mix myself, I can tell you that habitancy are buying these mixes for a range of reasons.

First, they are super convenient. All you need is the mix and your favorite wine. You just add wine and water to the mix, and stir it up until the mix is wholly dissolved. Stick it in the freezer for 4 to 8 hours, or overnight. Take it out and use a spoon to stir it all up to the proper consistency and serve.

No measuring out sugar, no slicing lemons or limes, no scooping sherbet, no simmering water and sugar on the stove, etc. You just stir up the wine and water with the mix and you're done. That's convenience.

Convenience isn't all that wine slush mixes have to offer. No matter how convenient a product is, if it doesn't taste good - it's no good. The fact that millions of bags of wine slush mix are sold and enjoyed every year speaks for itself. If it didn't taste good, no one would buy it. It obviously tastes good. Very good.

If you have any left over or if some melts, just stick it back in the freezer and it will be just as good next time. This is not all the time true with some of your "from scratch" recipes. It will stay Icy in your freezer for at least 9 months and taste like you made it last night. Before you make up a batch, it will stay in your cabinet just fine for a full year.

Versatility comes into play here also. The mixes don't need any positive kind of wine. It takes on the profile of any kind of wine you use, even champagne. However, you may be surprised that many, many habitancy buy it because you can use it for a non-alcoholic slush mix. You can use it with non-alcoholic wine, ginger ale, cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, apple juice, grape juice and sparkling juices. Moms love this for the kids.

Another nice aspect of some of the wine slush mixes is that they also come in pretty, decorated gift bags. These make for breathtaking hostess gifts, birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, etc. A bag or two of the wine slush mix with a bottle of wine makes for a excellent gift for any occasion. Some fellowships even have other wine connected items such as wine charms, flattened, decorated wine bottles, wine dip mixes, and so forth that you can add to make an entire practice wine themed gift basket.

Whether you select selection amount one or the dry mixes, wine slushies are so yummy and here to stay. Enjoy!
