Serving Wine |

White wine should be served between 49-51 degrees F. Red wine should be served between 68-72 degrees F and decanted approximately 20 mins prior to serving into a wine decanter. This releases the aroma of the wine.
Serving red wine at room temperature is a misnomer as "room" temperatures vary greatly, especially in the summer. All corked wine should be stored on its side in a cool dark place, as sunlight will harm the wine. It should also be turned every month or so. Stelvin openings (screwcaps), which are now gaining popularity, do not have to be stored on its side, but out of direct sunlight

When wine was served at room temp it was in a castle that was 50 degrees. No one wants warm wine.

RE: Serving Wine
I might add that there is a gadget called Vacupump, that you can use to pump air out of opened wine bottle, it will keep wine fresh for several days. Have seen them in Kitchen stores or maybe liqure stores. I got mine at Trader Joes, but they do not carry them anymore. Cost about $10.00, comes with one or two rubbber corks, but you can buy extra rubber corks. Make great gifts for wine drinkers, too.
