Did you know? The serving temperature of wine directly affects its flavor profile. While many people serve red wine at room temperature, most red wines actually show their best between 14-18°C (57-64°F). Light-bodied reds like Pinot Noir are best slightly cooler (14-16°C), while fuller-bodied wines like Cabernet Sauvignon can be served a bit warmer (16-18°C). Too cold suppresses the aromas, while too warm emphasizes the alcohol, disrupting the wine's delicate balance of flavors.
