What is the best temperature to serve red wine at?

11/17/2009

 
A) Warm it up in front of the fireplace
B) Room temperature
C) Between 60˚F and 65˚F

The answer:
C) Between 60˚F and 65˚F

Remember that wine should be refreshing and you should taste all the elements in balance. When the wine is served too warm, it can become coarse and the fruit tends to disappear. If it's served too cold, it can taste thin. As the holidays approach, keep in mind that red wine is often served far too warm at home, and even at restaurants. If red wine is at room temperature, just chill in an ice bucket for 5 minutes—you'll have a much more enjoyable glass of red wine. A side note: in summer, I chill my red wines at outside parties. The reason is that the wine will warm up very quickly in your glass. It's better to start out cool and be on the refreshing side than drink a caustic substance that's far too warm.
