Storing and Serving Red and White Wines

10 RateBy

Wine connoisseurs are careful to store wines at specific temperatures depending on the type. Whites are generally chilled more than reds. Here’s a guide for the optimal storage temperatures for various wines.

 

 

 

 

Temperature in °F Types of wines Examples
63 to 65 Rich, warm reds Bordeaux, Shiraz, Rhone, Cabernet Sauvignon, Burgundy
57 to 61 Light to medium reds Pinot Noir, Chianti, Zinfandel, Madeira, Chinon
54 Fruity reds Beaujolais, Valpolicella
52 Full-bodied whites White Burgundy
48 to 50 Light to medium whites Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Chablis
43 to 47 Sparkling wines Champagne, Muscats, Cava, Sauternes

If you own a wine cooler, there’s a helpful tip for serving reds and whites. For red wines, put them in to chill 20 minutes before serving. For white wines, keep them chilled and pull them out 20 minutes before serving. As a rule of thumb, no wine should be consumed warmer than 68°F.
