Wine Serving Temperatures

The flavors of both red and white wines fall flat if they are too warm. It is best to chill your reds in the fridge for about twenty minutes before serving them, and whites can usually be left in the fridge. When in doubt, it's better to serve the wine colder and let it warm in the glass than to serve it too warm.

More flavorful, fuller bodied white wines can be served at a slightly warmer temperature than bone dry whites. There are an impressive amount of wine coolers on the market that allow you to temperature control the environment your favorite wines. If you have room for it, pick one up! They can add a great deal of enjoyment to your wine drinking experience.

Just be sure that there is an actual barrier separating the red wine and white wine compartments. Simply stacking the reds on the top portions of the cooler in the hopes that the air will be warmer there could make your reds too cold and your whites too warm. Most reputable coolers have separate temperature controls for both types of wine.
