Wine sommeliing temperature

Sweet wine

Suggested serving temperature: fully chilled (6-8℃). Style example: noble wine.

Noble wine is a sweet wine made from grapes infected with "noble mold". The best temperature for serving wine in noble wine is 6-8℃. Appropriate temperature for serving wine can highlight acidity, or it can make the acid and high sweetness in wine form too low, so the flavor of noble wine is relatively closed and the temperature is too high, and noble wine is too sweet to drink.

Wine sommeliing temperature

Sparkling wine

Suggested serving temperature: fully chilled (6- 10℃). Style example: Champagne.

The most direct consideration for drinking champagne after it is chilled is that there is 5-6 atmospheric pressure in the champagne bottle. It is beneficial to stabilize the atmospheric pressure in the bottle and open the bottle safely if it is chilled before drinking. Drinking temperature is one of the important factors that affect the taste of champagne. Proper temperature can perfectly show the unique flavor, dense bubbles and elegant balance of champagne.

Wine sommeliing temperature

White wine, pink wine, white wine, Rose wine (light-medium body).

Suggested serving temperature: chilled (7- 10℃) Style example: Pinot Pi Nuo white wine.

White wine and pink wine are usually served after being chilled, and the temperature of white wine has a great influence on the aroma and taste. If the temperature is too low, the aroma of white wine will be locked in the wine for a long time and cannot be released; If the temperature is too high and the alcohol smell is too heavy, it will produce inappropriate fragrance.

Wine sommeliing temperature

White wine (full-bodied)

Suggested serving temperature: slightly chilled (10- 13℃). Style example: Chardonnay with oak flavor.

Full-bodied white wine doesn't need a lower chilling temperature like light-bodied white grapes, and the best serving temperature is 10- 13℃. White wine aged in oak barrels and fermented by malic acid and lactic acid is often full-bodied, round and complex in flavor, so it is suitable to drink at a higher temperature.

Wine sommeliing temperature

Red wine (light-bodied) Suggested serving temperature: room temperature or slightly chilled (13- 1 1℃).

Wine sommeliing temperature

Red wine (medium-full)

Suggested serving temperature: room temperature (15-18 c). Style example: Shiraz. Light-bodied red wine needs low temperature to keep fresh and refreshing. It is recommended to put it in the refrigerator for 45 minutes to an hour before drinking, or put it in an ice bucket for about 3-5 minutes.
