If you own a wine chiller, you may wonder what are the best temperature settings to store your wines in perfect condition.
The trick with wine is to store it at a stable, ideal temperature, and then to serve it at a temperature which best shows off its personal characteristics. If you serve a wine too cool, the flavors will all be hidden. It’s like eating a frozen pizza while it’s still frozen. If you serve a wine too hot, all you can taste is the alcohol.[/fusion_text][fusion_text]
