2. After picking out your favorite bottle at
your liquor store or wine store in Knoxville, the
quality of how you serve is now in your hands.
Serving wine at certain temperatures can and
will affect the way it tastes which is why there
are ideal temperatures for each kind. To help
you out, here are 3 rules to serve as your wine
temperature serving guide:
3. 1.) Sparkling wine should be served
ice-cold
About an hour or so before opening,
leave your bubbly in the freezer until
it’s about 40-50 degrees cold. An
alternative would be to place it in a
bucket of ice for 30 minutes. This is
because the ice-cold temperature will
help keep the bubbles fine rather
than foamy. Once opened, keep it on
ice.
4. 2.) White wine and Rosé should be served
cold
White wine and Rosé are meant to be
served chilled but not necessarily ice-cold.
Store it in a cool place immediately after
purchasing it from your local liquor store.
If you plan to drink it soon, leave it in the
fridge for a few hours or keep it in the
freezer for about 30 minutes until it’s
about 50-60 degrees. After opening, let
your bottle cool on the table and enjoy
how the wine’s aroma slightly changes as it
cools down.
5. 3.) Red wine should be served cool
As a liquor store, we get a lot of questions
about wine. A common misconception we hear
for serving red wine is that it has to be at room
temperature. Bear in mind that “room
temperature” can mean vastly different things
in other parts of the world. We recommend
slightly cooling it by placing it in the fridge for
an hour before serving, just until it’s about 60-
70 degrees. If you need it sooner, you can keep
it in the freezer for about 15 minutes. After
opening, let it cool down by leaving it on the
table instead of on ice.
