Temperature Talk
People tend to serve white wines too cold and red wines too warm. White wines too warm will taste alcoholic and flabby, while white wines too cold will be crisp but nearly tasteless. As for reds, serve them too warm and they will taste soft and alcoholic. Too cold and they will have an overly tannic bite and less flavor. Lighter wines can be served at lower temperatures. Most red wines should be served at a temperature of 58 - 68 degrees. Whites wines and Champagnes are best enjoyed at a temperature between 40 - 55 degrees.
The 15-Minute Tip: Take the white wine out of the fridge 15 minutes before serving, and put the red wine in the fridge 15-miuntes before serving
