The Best Introduces, Sour Grapes - Wine Temps
Welcome back to The Best 5 Minute Wine Podcast! Today, we introduce our resident wine curmudgeon Sour Grapes and the ever-enthusiastic Forrest Kelly is here to set the record straight on the ideal serving temperatures for your favorite wines. Are you guilty of drinking white wine straight from the Arctic or red wine like it's a sauna? Fear not, we've got the perfect tips to elevate your wine game.
White Wine: Take it out of the fridge 20 minutes before serving. It’s not meant to double as an ice pop!
Red Wine: Give it a chill in the fridge for 20 minutes before serving. Room temperature is only good if you live in an igloo.
Sparkling Wine: Serve it ice cold to keep those bubbles fine and dandy.
Pinot Noir: Treat this diva right at 54 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cabernet Sauvignon: A bit warmer at 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit, like a cozy hug for your taste buds.
Oaked Chardonnay: The Goldilocks of wine temperatures, perfect at 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
Follow these tips to ensure you don't ruin your next bottle. Remember, this is Sour Grapes pouring grumpy wisdom one vintage at a time.
