What temperature is best for each type of wine?
Unlike traditional fridges that usually hover around the 3°C mark, wine coolers find their sweet spot at 12°C – the ideal temperature for cellaring.
However, when it comes to serving your cherished vintages, it’s a whole different ballgame. Luckily, wine fridges have adjustable temperatures so that you can choose the right one for you.
Below, we’ve rounded up the precise temperatures (and the best wine fridges) you need to unlock the fullest flavour.
Sparkling wines/champagne: 6-8°C
Serve these icy cool to maintain their refreshing effervescence.
Light white wines (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio): 7-10°C
A touch cooler than room temperature, these wines reveal their lively acidity and delicate aromas.
Rich white wines (e.g., Chardonnay, Viognier): 10-13°C
Slightly warmer, rich wines showcase their complex flavours and lush textures.
Rosé wines: 8-12°C
Keep these pink beauties lightly chilled to enhance their fruity and floral notes.
Light red wines (e.g., Pinot Noir, Gamay): 12-14°C
A bit cooler than room temperature, these reds unveil their nuanced flavours and silky textures.
Medium to full-bodied red wines (e.g., Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon): 15-18°C
These bottles benefit from being served at a touch below room temperature to highlight their depth and structure.
Fortified wines (e.g., Port, Sherry): 12-20°C
The serving temperature varies based on style; drier Sherries are often served cooler, while Ports can be enjoyed closer to room temperature.
