Since 2006, Mercer’s Dairy in Boonville, NY, has been making ice creams with real wine, winning a handful of awards since its inception. Each ice cream clocks in at 5 percent alcohol by volume, meaning it is only for those ages 21 and over. Eight flavors are currently available, including Cherry Merlot, Chocolate Cabernet, Peach White Zinfandel, Port, Red Raspberry Chardonnay, Riesling, Spice and Strawberry Sparkling. Although Mercer’s tries to keep its production local, the company will gladly distribute to anywhere in the United States. Wine ice cream can be shipped by the pint, half gallon, five-quart pail or three-gallon tub (cause, man, do you want to get drunk on ice cream!). Sounds like you already have the first item for your 2015 Christmas wishlist. _This_ [_article_](http://www.foodandwine.com/fwx/drink/everything-you-ever-wanted-dessert-wine-ice-cream-5-percent-alcohol) _originally appeared on_ [_FWx_](http://www.foodandwine.com/fwx/)_._ _More from FWx:_ * [16 of the Best Food T-Shirts You Need to Own](http://www.foodandwine.com/fwx/secrets/16-best-food-t-shirts-you-need-own) * [Sprayable Wine is a Weird New Way to Get Drunk](http://www.foodandwine.com/fwx/drink/sprayable-wine-weird-new-way-get-drunk) * [Why We Kiss on New Year’s Eve](http://www.foodandwine.com/fwx/secrets/why-we-kiss-new-years-eve) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3650393/wine-ice-cream/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3650393/wine-ice-cream/"},"headline":"This Ice Cream Could Get You Drunk","datePublished":"2014-12-30T20:47:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:56:31.310Z","description":"8 flavors are currently available, including Cherry Merlot and Chocolate Cabernet","url":"https://time.com/3650393/wine-ice-cream/","keywords":["Living","Food & Drink","wine","Ice Cream"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf8a59ea545bc4700/698777b1e20a87e40aa8446d/fwx-mercers-dairy-wine-ice-cream.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Mike Pomranz / Food & Wine"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf8a59ea545bc4700/698777b1e20a87e40aa8446d/fwx-mercers-dairy-wine-ice-cream.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"mercers dairy wine ice cream","caption":"mercers dairy wine ice cream","creditText":"Mercer's Dairy","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3650393/wine-ice-cream/","name":"This Ice Cream Could Get You Drunk"}}]}] ```
