1. Wine 101 by What is the perfect temperature to serve wines
2. Lets define the 3 types of wines • Light dry white wines, rosés, sparkling wines • Full-bodied white wines and light, fruity reds • Full-bodied red wines and Ports
3. Light dry white wines, Roses and Sparkling wines All of these three types of wines should be served at 40° to 50° F (5-10° C) to preserve their freshness and fruitiness. Think crisp Pinot Grigio and Champagne. For sparklers, chilling keeps bubbles fine rather than frothy. 5 to 10° C is also a good range for white dessert wines. Cooling them down preserves their balance without quashing their vibrant aromas because sweetness is accentuated at warmer temperatures
4. Full-bodied white wines and light, fruity reds Serve at 50° to 60° F (10 - 16° C) to pick up more of the complexity and aromatics of a rich fine wine for example to make a fruity Beaujolais more refreshing.
5. Full-bodied red wine and Ports Serve at 60° to 65° F (16 - 19° C) - cooler than most room temperatures and warmer than ideal cellaring temperatures—to make the tannins in powerful Cabernet or Syrah feel more supple and de-emphasize bitter components.
6. The bottom line The darker the wine - the higher the temperature or with other words: The best temperature for white wine is 40-50 degrees. The best temperature for rose wine is 50 - 60 degrees The best temperature for red wine is 62 - 68 degrees.
