Take Your Temperature
Red wine should be served room temperature, but there’s a caveat: the “room” in question is the wine cellar, which should always be on the cooler side! To be more precise, the exact wine temperatures for optimum wine tasting are:
Sparkling wines: 40°-45°F
Light white wines: 45°-50°F
Full-bodied white wines: 50°- 55°F
Light red wines: 50°- 55°F
Full-bodied red wines: 55°- 65°F
Sweet white wines: 40°- 45°F
Port wines: 60°- 65°F
