wine/beer: how cold to freeze?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) Preparation Forum : One Thread

I got some inexpensive boxed wine (on sale!) - and want to store it in outside, unheated storage shed...am really running out of room in the house. How cold can it be outside before it would freeze and ruin?

I've frozen wine intentionally, to get a brandy like result. Doesn't ruin the wine. Don't know about beer.

Beer will freeze and break/split contaner. I bring beer in when the outside temp gets 20 deg. If you don't get that cold may be ok.
