Wine Serving Temperatures
|
|
|
The best
temperature for serving wine varies based on the type of wine.
In general, we tend to drink our white wines too cold and our
red wines too warm in the U.S.A.

Most people
have heard that red wines should be served at 'room' temperature,
but that is really a reference to 'cellar' temperature.
Cellar temperature is usually about 55 degrees which is perfect
for storing
wine . The reason
that red wines are best enjoyed at slightly reduced temperatures
is that alcohol will produce an unpleasant bite on the palate
when served at normal room temperature.
