What is the ideal serving temperature for different types of wine?

The ideal serving temperature for different types of wine varies depending on the wine variety. Generally, white wines are best enjoyed chilled between 45°F and 55°F. Crisp and light white wines like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio tend to be served colder around 45°F, while full-bodied whites like Chardonnay are best around 50°F. For red wines, the ideal serving temperature is slightly cooler than room temperature, ranging from 55°F to 65°F. Lighter-bodied reds like Pinot Noir are served slightly cooler around 55°F, while bolder reds like Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah are enjoyed closer to 65°F. Rosé wines fall in between, typically served around 50°F. Remember, these are general guidelines and personal preference also plays a role in determining the ideal serving temperature for your wine.
