Like a good fire extinguisher, a cache of crisp, refreshing wines always is a useful thing to have on hand. After all, you might not have to use a fire extinguisher often, but when you do, you’ll be glad you have one around. And even though we’ve been lucky with the summer weather in our area this season so far, it will eventually heat up — and when it does, like a fire extinguisher, you’ll be prepared with a few wines that are within reach to help you cool down on a warm summer evening on the porch or an afternoon picnic in the park.
Here is an assortment of wines to keep your internal temperature from hitting the boiling point. Best of all, at less than $15 a bottle, these value-oriented wines will definitely help your wallet keep cool this summer as well. All you need is an ice bucket É and a hammock couldn’t hurt. Retail prices are approximate.
