💨 Abstract

Chilling red wine is often misunderstood, but can enhance its refreshment. The myth of serving red wine at room temperature originates from cooler 19th-century French settings, not modern, heated homes. Serving red wine too warm can make it "flabby," losing structure and freshness. Chilling light to medium-bodied red wines can revitalize fruit flavors, reduce alcohol perception, and enhance acidity.
