How to serve wine?

Question

I am not a big wine drinking, but some friends gave me some wine as a gift. I am having a party and I wasn't sure how to serve it.
I got Sutter home white Zinfandel ( i belive u serve that chilled) and a White Merlot do i serve that chilled as well or room temp?

Answer 1

White wines should be served around 50-55 deg f. except for dessert wines which should be served at the same temp. as reds, 65-70
deg. f

Answer 2

For the Zin, chill for 20 minutes.

For the Merlot (white merlot is delicious, though it's sweet) room temperature. Take the cork out 10 minutes prior to serving.

Answer 3

i am not much of a wine drinker but my mother was and as for the white zinfandel it should be served chilled and the merlot should be served at room tempter around 55-65 degrees is best for that kind of flavor

Answer 4

White wines are usually served chilled and reds are normally best served at room temperature.

Hope that helps!

Answer 5

White merlot is chilled.

For red wines room temperature can be down to 50 degree fahrenheit.

Answer 6

It is chilled, although some like it warm. Just because there is a politically correct way to serve wine doesn't mean you have to do it that way. I won't drink red wine at a restaurant because it's warm, but I'll stick it in the fridge at home. Do what YOU like. That's the "correct" way. :-)

Answer 7

serve the white cold and the merlot room tem and sutters home is a very good brand and not real expensive about $10.00 per 750ml------- good friends....

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
