Merlot Wine Red
is it ok to serve red wine or merlot chilled or cold from the fridge?
Not really …. dry reds are best at room tempurature.
“The temperature at which a wine is served is important, and it is worth spending a few moments thinking about it. The old adage of serving white wines chilled and red wines at room temperature is a useful starting point, although not nearly detailed enough. A wine served a little too cold or a little too warm can lose an awful lot of character, particularly with respect to aroma.”
“Red wines often also need a little chilling. The ‘room temperature’ which many regard as the ideal serving temperature for red wines is not an excuse to leave wines languishing in the warmth of today’s insulated, centrally heated houses. The ideal serving temperature for many fine red wines is perhaps 14ºC to 18ºC, somewhat cooler than modern houses, although this was a common temperature indoors in centuries gone by! Many reds, unless stored somewhere cool, will benefit from half an hour in the refrigerator. This is particularly the case for Beaujolais and young Burgundy, as well as Pinot Noir from the New World. Good claret, Rhônes and other reds from warmer climes are generally fine at 18ºC.”
