• What will happen if we serve aged red wine in chilled temperature and white wine in room temperature?
Question submitted by
Sanjeev Khalkho
A chilled
red wine is too acidic. It would deliver an excessive amount
of tannins. Tannin is an astringent component of wine. Therefore
a chilled red wine does not taste good.
Serving
white wine at room temperature is not such a big deal. If
the white wine is served at room temperature, it will not
be able to deliver all its aromas, however the wine would
still taste good.
We tend
to drink white wine which are too cold. Actually the best
white wines should be served at around 58°F (14°C).
