Tips for Serving Wine
The best temperature for serving wine varies based on the type of wine. In general, we tend to drink our white wines too cold and our red wines too warm in the U.S.A.
The reason that red wines are best enjoyed at slightly reduced temperatures is that alcohol will produce an unpleasant bite on the palate when served at normal room temperature.
Rule of thumb for serving wine at appropriate temp – the 10 Minute Rule
White wine - refrigerate for 2 hours before serving and take out of refrigerate 10 minutes prior or place bottle on ice for approx 10 minutes before serving.
Red wine - place in refrigerator 10 minutes before serving.
The Rabbit Wine and Beverage Chiller can be stored in the freezer and placed on any bottle to chill it within 10 minutes. Another technique is to place the bottle in a Wine chiller on ice or with ice and water to chill in 10 minutes or less.
