If you’re a fan of ice cream and wine, you’re in luck as a company in the US has created a range of wine flavoured ice cream.
Mercer’s Dairy has been on the go since the 1950’s but in 2006 it says it mastered the art of blending ice cream and wine to create wine ice cream.
According to the company’s website, each wine is hand-picked and blended with only the freshest ingredients.
There are eight flavours in the ice cream range which contain 15% butterfat with 5% alcohol by volume:
Cherry Merlot
Sophisticated.
Mercer’s Dairy has chosen a Merlot wine recognized for its plum and black cherry undertones, and accentuated it with plum Bordeaux cherries.
