asked in category: General Last Updated: 3rd January, 2020Do you chill red wine or white wine?
After opening and either decanting or pouring the first glasses, just as with white we like leaving the wine out on the table to slowly warm.
In respect to this, which wines need to be chilled?
White, Rosé and Sparkling Wine: Whites need a chill to lift delicate aromas and acidity. However, when they’re too cold, flavors become muted. Like reds, fuller-bodied wines like Chardonnay from Burgundy and California shine between 50°F and 60°F. Dessert wines like Sauternes fall into the same range.
Beside above, why shouldnt you chill red wine? The lighter the wine, the cooler you can goYou don’t want a big red to get this cold because, among other things, chilling the wine can increase the sensation of tannic structure and can make a wine bitter and sharp.
Also Know, are you supposed to drink wine cold?
Conventional wisdom says white wines should be chilled, so we pull them out of the refrigerator just before dinner; red wines should be served at room temperature, so we leave them by the stove while we cook. Do yourself a favor and forget all that. We tend to drink our whites too cold and reds too warm.
Are all white wines chilled?
So as a general rule, while it is generally safe to say that all white wines should be chilled, the perfect temperature serves to better accentuate the acidity and the fruit flavors of the wine.
