RED RASPBERRY CHARDONNAY: Classic elegance. We’ve taken an oak-aged Chardonnay, known for its delicate vanilla nose and buttery smooth taste, and paired it with fresh red raspberries.
CHOCOLATE CABERNET: Rich...a chocolate lover’s dream. We’ve united a Cabernet wine filled with dried cherry and cassis notes with our Chocolate ice cream filled with bits of bittersweet chocolate morsels.
We asked the folks at Mercer's how most people react when they first try their ice cream. They responded "we will say that their first response is typically, "Wow", and we fondly refer to this as "the Wow Factor". Their taste buds become uncorked and the party begins".
To get your own party started, you can order the wine ice cream online through the Mercer's website. The ice cream is also distributed through selected retailers throughout the US.
Can you get drunk on wine ice cream?
Some people ask, "can you get drunk on wine ice cream?" The answer is yes. The ice cream has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 5%. That is roughly the same as a larger beer.
Wine typically has an ABV between 12 - 15%, so the ice cream will not get you drunk as quickly as drinking wine, but if you love eating ice cream, you will get drunk eventually. That is what makes this an adults only treat.

Or maybe a cold glass of white wine is the answer. That usually does the trick. What if you didn't have to choose? What if wine ice cream existed?

Wine Ice Cream
The good people at Mercer's Ice Cream figured out how to mix alcohol and butter fat. Sounds amazing doesn't it. Apparently this isn't the easiest thing to do, but they pulled it off. Once that challenge was met, they were off to the races. They realized there are so many creative 
possibilities when the world of wine and ice cream meet.
Mercer offers a number of choices that are mostly varietal driven. You can choose from Riesling, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and seven other flavors. Each wine varietal is matched with a dominate flavor that is based on the tasting characteristics of that wine. The results are pure joy.
Make no mistake about it however, this is adult's only ice cream. 5% alcohol content makes this a treat with a kick. Check out these descriptions from the Mercer's:
SHIRAZ: Lavish. We’ve selected an award-winning Shiraz known for its rich aromas of berry and smoky orange peel and then tucked in bite-size dark chocolate cups filled with raspberry.
