Different wines taste best at slightly different temperatures, which may vary from the temperature in which they were stored. Right before drinking the wine, allow the temperature to rise or fall to the appropriate serving temperature: 
  • Tart, bright white wines: 48-52 degrees
  • Sparkling wine: 50-55 degrees
  • Rich white wines, like an aged chardonnay: 58-62 degrees
  • Light red wines (Chianti, Beaujolais, young pinot noir): 60-65 degrees
  • Heavy red wines: 63-68 degrees
