Room temperature for wine.

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?

You need to Google a Ted talk mate!1

But room temperature is typically around 70 degrees, and the ideal serving temperature for red wine is anywhere between 60 and 68 degrees.

Straight out of the fridge.3

Yes, I noticed the typo as you posted. And I haven’t had any drink yet!soapy_jones said:You need to Google a Ted talk mate!0 -
Ask Mick Everett9

Don't forget to open the bottle for an hour before you drink it to allow it to breath

Any temperature really, but if it's very hot I prefer a sparkling wine.0
-
I like a large chilled rose when its hot.1

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 summer2
-
Of course you could always drink it at the temperature you prefer.0

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.4 -

This does nothing unless you pour it into a decanter. You are giving air to a tiny bit of the surface of the wineMuttleyCAFC said:Don't forget to open the bottle for an hour before you drink it to allow it to breath0 -

Agreed, if white wine is too cold, you can't taste anythingJints said: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

Another misnomer is the temperature Real Ale should be served at, which is certainly not "warm beer".0 -

Only if the establishment that I lifted the bottle from knew that keeping red wine in a fridge is the correct thing to do. A straw is optional.ricky_otto said:Big_Bad_World said:Straight out of the bottle on the way back from the off-licence0 -
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.Jints said:It depends on the wine.

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.Lordflashheart said:

I read that and wondered why you like hot wine. Then realised you work in different units to me CCovered End said:But room temperature is typically around 70 degrees, and the ideal serving temperature for red wine is anywhere between 60 and 68 degrees.
