Wines taste very different
depending on their temperature. In order to enjoy
the flavor characteristics of a wine, it is very
important to serve that wine at the proper temperature.
There are three ideal temperatures: |
| |
|
|
| |
|
 |
| |
|
65°F
(18°C) is considered "room temperature"
and is appropriate for medium to full-bodied red
wines. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
 |
| |
|
57°F
(14°C) is considered "slightly chilled"
or "cellar temperature". This temperature
is appropriate for full bodied white wines and light
bodied red wines. If a bottle has been chilling
in the refrigerator you may need to let the bottle
stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes to
achieve the desired temperature. |

 |
| |
|
52°F
(11°C) is considered "chilled". This
temperature is appropriate for light to medium bodied
white wines. Please note that most refrigerators
are set at 40°F (4°C) so if a bottle has
been chilling in the refrigerator you may need to
let the bottle stand at room temperature for 10-15
minutes to achieve the desired temperature. |
