While stuck at home in lockdown, a clever mum has devised the perfect way to chill white wine swiftly.

Leanne, from Brisbane, revealed her handy tip by sharing a video on Instagram with her 45,000 followers.

To chill her $5 BWS wine quickly, she added ice and approximately two tablespoons of salt to a bowl of water.

The bottle of wine was placed in the bowl and quickly chilled in only 15 minutes.

An Australian mum has revealed how she quickly chills her $5 white wine from BWS 

In an Instagram video Leanne added ice and approximately two tablespoons of salt to a bowl of water. The bottle of wine was placed in the bowl and quickly chilled in only 15 minutes

‘Who decides which wine is kept in the fridge or on the shelf at the bottle store? Unlucky for me my wine is sold on the shelf,’ Leanne wrote online.

According to Simple Most, salt lowers the freezing point of the water, and so the ice starts melting at a lower temperature than usual resulting in cooler water. 

Australian Guidelines recommend healthy adults should drink no more than two standard drinks on any day and no more than ten standard drinks per week.

The short video has since been viewed thousands of times and one woman dubbed the idea as ‘life changing’.

Another added: ‘I needed this hack! Thank you for sharing.’

In the comments Leanne added the hack is ‘definitely worth knowing’ as it can save time waiting for wine to chill in the fridge. 

The clever mum is known for consistently sharing home hacks to help others keep their sanctuaries in order.

Australia’s guidelines for healthy drinking:

Australian Guidelines recommend healthy adults should drink no more than two standard drinks on any day to cut the lifetime risk of harm from alcohol-related disease or injury.

They also recommend consuming a max of four standard drinks on a single occasion to reduce the risk of alcohol-related injury.

A standard drink contains about 10 grams of alcohol – the amount your body can process in an hour.

The average glass of wine served in a pub contains 1.5 standard drinks.

New draft guidelines recommend healthy Australian women and men drink no more than 10 standard drinks a week.
