So, given that what is regarded as room temperature has changed over the decades due to central heating and other improvements to life, what is the correct temperature for red wine?
My understanding is that the correct temperature for red wine is cooler than you might think, so not a centrally heated room or indeed a warm room in summer
It depends on the wine. For lighter bodied wines such a Beaujolais about 12-14 centigrade, medium bodied (e.g. rioja, most bordeaux) about 15-16, full bodied (shiraz etc) 17-18
Generally people serve reds too warm and whites too cold. If you keep a white in the fridge take it out half an hour before serving.

Agreed, if white wine is too cold, you can't taste anything
Another misnomer is the temperature Real Ale should be served at, which is certainly not "warm beer".

I commend @Jints advice to everyone, he knows his wines. However the tricky bit is actually achieving those temperatures at the time you want to serve them. I’ve got this temperature measure thing that wraps around the bottle, but I’m always faffing around trying to get the right temperature. Not sure its worth it for everyday reds.
No he’s not - you are a twat, trying to worm your way back in with a dismal thread, after a shit comment about a person who did superb work as an employee and supporter for Charlton Athletic FC over many years - and now to enjoy a nice retirement - remind us of what you did @iainment
Actually - I know the answer - it’s sweet FA
Maybe you can disappear off to a cycling forum, make merry there …..

I’m sorry, I appear to have stumbled onto Fulham Life.

What was so bad about my comment?
You know exactly where I am coming from - and your ‘no response’ to people calling you out on the Mick Everett thread speaks volumes - the comment ‘ you’re a card’ on this thread - you knew what @Henry Irving was referring to
Your post on the Mick Everett thread was crass and pathetic

If I could see the humour I would laugh. As it is there is none .

Apologise and we can all move on
I chose not to respond as the pot would only get more agitated. But if you’re going to bring unrelated stuff onto my posts I suppose my attempt at tact was pointless.

Rather like yourself.
