I don’t know about you, but I really enjoy a nice glass of red wine with dinner. It sounds like I might soon be able to have some for dessert too – wine flavored ice cream. What a great idea!

The new ice creams, which have an alcohol content of 5 percent, were created by Oneida County Dairy in Booneville, N.Y. The dairy is owned by eight local farm families. Along with its traditional 36 flavors, the company has added three for adults only — Ala Port Wine, Peachy White Zinfandel and Red Raspberry Chardonnay.

One pint of this stuff, along with calories, contains the rough equivalent of a glass of wine. It won’t be sold to minors. After about two years of product development and clearing of governmental hurdles, the wine ice cream is finally being scooped up by restaurants in New York City. The New York Daily News blurbed it as “Cream of the Vine.” Retail chains in North Carolina, where wine is sold in groceries, have expressed interest. Wineries are mulling the prospect of selling their brands as a specialty ice cream a new signature product and revenue stream.
