If you want to enjoy wine, you know that the right wine temperature is essential for a good wine to fully develop its bouquet. However, there is no such thing as the ideal drinking temperature; a number of factors play a role (e.g. quality level and age of the wine).
A wine that is too cold generally tastes restrained. A wine that is too warm tastes alcoholic and develops disturbing tones on the nose. Each type of wine has its ideal temperature at which the bouquet and flavour develop properly.
The right wine temperature
- Sparkling wine, sweet white wines (e.g. Walliser Spätlese): 6 - 9 degrees Celsius
- Dry white wines, rosés, aromatic white wines, port, sweet wines, banyuls, sherry: 8 - 10 degrees
- Light red wines (e.g. Gamay, Eastern Switzerland country wines, best white wines, Beaujolais): 12 - 14 degrees Celsius.
- Fuller red wines (e.g. Merlot Viti, Pino noir): 14 - 16 degrees
- Full-bodied red wines that are matured in small wooden barrels (e.g. Pino noir, Merlot Riserva, red Bordeaux): 16 - 18 degrees
Note: A wine warms up by approx. 1°C to 2°C when it is poured into the glass.
To keep wine at the right temperature at all times, it is worth investing in a wine cooler. As most wine fridges have to be built-in or their appearance detracts from the atmosphere of the room, great wine coolers are not easy to find.
That is why we have worked with the La Barrique Cooler has designed a wine cooler that is both technically and visually impressive as a piece of designer furniture. The wine cooler can easily hold 17 bottles of 0.75 litres each and bring them to the right wine temperature. Its total capacity is 54 litres. The five wooden sliding shelves are easy to pull out and can also be used in different ways. Handling is therefore very simple, but also practical. It can be used at home, in the catering trade, in the wine cellar or in a hotel and impresses not only with the correct temperature control, but also with its appearance with barrique wood and mobility.
