BEWARE OF COOLING THE WINE TOO MUCH!

It seems that summer is here. The heat will continue to plague us more and more. On days when the sun is scorching, a glass of chilled white, rosé or sparkling wine is undoubtedly the right refreshment. However, you have to be careful! While a glass of cold wine is the perfect respite from the heat, cooling the wine too much can take away a lot of the pleasure from drinking it.

When wine is overly chilled, we're talking about articular temperatures. Temperatures where all of the wine's wonderful flavors and aromas are lost. The super-cold temperature prevents the wine from imparting the scent of grass or the refreshing taste of bright lemon. Instead, you just have a cold liquid that may quench your thirst but doesn't provide much else of a pleasure.
