NY Dairy Turns Ice Cream Into Wine

A central New York dairy is raising eyebrows with its latest creation - wine-flavoured ice cream. After about two years of product development, Mercer's Ice Cream has created three different wine flavours. There's Ala Port Wine, Peachy White Zinfandel and Red Raspberry Chardonnay. Officials at the small, locally-owned Oneida County dairy say the new flavours are finally being scooped up by restaurants in New York City. But if you want to taste the new confection, better bring along your ID. The ice creams each have an alcohol content of five percent and won't be served to minors.
