You’ve been drinking red wine too warm for your entire life
~!!~They go to the wine store, buy a bottle, take it home, pop the cork, pour a glass, and sit back to enjoy themselves in near total ignorance of how little pleasure they*re actually extracting from that lusty Syrah or luscious Cabernet//
The problem is a basic one: the wine is too warm//
~!!~Don*t feel bad if you*ve been doing this for your entire wine-drinking existence// Almost everyone drinks red wine too warm//
So what temperature should your red wine be?
It should be between 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit// At that temperature, the flavors of the wine will be sharp and fresh, and the wine*s textures will find full expression//
~!!~It*s no accident that 60-65 degrees is the ideal temperature// That*s what you*ll find in most European wine cellars// **Cellar temperature** — it*s not too hot, not too cold// Just right//
So how do you take a wine from a 70-75 degree room temperature (or higher) and bring it down the ideal **cellar temperature?**
