Gen Z are adding ICE to their pints of beer - so, would you try it?

"A new survey has revealed that nearly three in 10 Brits aged 18 to 35 admit dropping mini blocks of ice into their lager. 'Ice in a glass of beer actually does go down pretty well,' one user explained on TikTok. Another added: 'In Thailand, putting ice in beer is completely normal - not just tolerated, but expected in many settings.' However, Gen Z's controversial drinking antics don't stop there."

"The survey also found that more than a third of youngsters like popping a few ice cubes in their red wine. So, would you add ice to your next pint? The survey was carried out by LG Electronics, and asked 2,000 Brits about their drinking habits. The results revealed that 20 per cent of under-35s find the idea of adding ice to beer and wine 'refreshing'."

"According to Merlin Griffiths, the barman from Channel 4's First Dates, there's nothing wrong with the trend. He said: 'There are people who would frown at a cube or two of ice in a glass of wine, but I'm not one of them. 'In fact, it's quite traditional in the south of France, for instance, where regional rosé and whites are often enjoyed with a cube or three - locally known as a "vin piscine". 'There's even a precedent for chilled reds, so for the 10% of the population that enjoy an ice-cold red wine, try a Beaujolais, Bandol or Gamay with a cub"

Nearly three in ten Brits aged 18 to 35 admit to dropping ice cubes into their lager, and more than a third of youngsters put ice into red wine. A survey of 2,000 Brits by LG Electronics found 20% of under-35s describe adding ice to beer and wine as refreshing. Social stigma persists: one in ten avoid asking for ice due to feared reactions and 22% lie to friends about the habit. Forty-four percent labeled people who add ice to ale or wine as uneducated. A barman noted regional precedents and suggested chilled reds that suit ice.
