Contrary to popular custom, red wine should not be enjoyed at room temperature. At room temperature the wines can become soupy or syrupy. Also the alcohol will feel out of balance so the structure and freshness will be lost. Generally, the rule is “The lighter the wine, the cooler it should be enjoyed.”<\/p>\n

It takes about 2.5 hours for a red wine to get from room temp to 55 degrees in a refrigerator. If you want to fast track it, throw it in your freezer for 40 minutes. Try not to forget it\u2019s in their or you will get a wine popsicle. Wine generally does not like extreme temps.
