Correct Wine Serving Temperature

Question: What is the correct wine serving temperature?

Answer: Usually white wines, rosés, Champagnes/sparkling wines taste best chilled. Red wines are typically served at room temperature. Here are some guidelines:

--White wines and rosés are best served between 8 and 14 degree Celsius. Serve lighter white/rosé wines and Champagnes/sparkling wines closer to 8 degree Celsius. You can achieve these temperatures by chilling the wine in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

--Red wines taste best served between 14 and 20 degrees Celsius. Serve lighter red wines closer to 14-15 degrees Celsius. Chill your reds in the refrigerator for a short time if you prefer them on the cooler side.
