Don&#8217;t panic, we&#8217;ve put together a reminder to get you out of these tricky situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>First, at what temperature should you serve your wines?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nDepending on the type of wine you are going to open, the serving temperature varies:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>structured red wines <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">should be served at around 16\u00b0-17\u00b0.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>thirst-quenching red wines<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should be served at around 14\u00b0-15\u00b0.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>ros\u00e9 wines <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><b> dry white wines<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should be served at around 10\u00b0-11\u00b0.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>sweet white wines<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should be served at around 11\u00b0-12\u00b0.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>champagnes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should be served at around 9\u00b0-10\u00b0.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to refresh wine quickly?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nNow that you know at what temperature to cool it, let&#8217;s get down to business. First of all, it all depends on how much time you have.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>More than two hours early<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nIf you have more than two hours, put your wine in the fridge and check the temperature regularly (at least every half-hour), otherwise you risk ending up with a wine whose balance has been totally destructured.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Between one and two hours early<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nIf you have more than one or two hours, wrap your wine in a cloth soaked in cold water (wet cloth speeds up chilling) and place in the fridge. Check the wine temperature every half-hour for opulent red and white wines.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Less than an hour early<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nIf you have less than an hour, which is probably the case for you, we come to the emergency solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most classic solution is to place your bottle (for varying lengths of time, depending on the serving temperature required) in a tub with a mixture of water, ice cubes and salt. Melting ice absorbs the heat contained in the wine bottle, and thanks to the salt, the ice melts even faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re a wine connoisseur, you can buy a refreshing sommelier sock. Keep these socks in your freezer, and when you need to refresh a wine, put them on. It won&#8217;t melt under heat or soak the bottle. What&#8217;s more, it stays active for several hours, so you can serve with it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For bottles of champagne or white\/ros\u00e9 wine, place them 20-30 minutes ahead of time in the freezer, surrounded by a cloth soaked in water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In hot weather, or if you don&#8217;t have time to chill your wine, you can also cool your glasses with ice cubes. Simply place two or three in each glass and swirl to cool the sides. Discard them just before pouring in the wine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now it&#8217;s time for System D!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a fresh water source in your garden, you can place your bottles there, surrounded by your son&#8217;s buoys, and that&#8217;s it! Wait about ten minutes and the bottle should be cool.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Used by Bedouins and nomads accustomed to the desert, this technique involves wrapping your bottle in a wet cloth and exposing it to the sun. As it dries, the tea towel will absorb the heat from the wine bottle. Be careful, this is a meticulous operation, and poor timing can heat up your bottle.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Photo by zero take \/ Unsplash[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space]<div class=\"round-link-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/en\/sujet\/good-to-know\/\" rel=\"tag\">#Good to know<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/en\/sujet\/red-wine\/\" rel=\"tag\">#Red wine<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/en\/sujet\/rose-wine\/\" rel=\"tag\">#Ros\u00e9 wine<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/en\/sujet\/tasting\/\" rel=\"tag\">#Tasting<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/en\/sujet\/wine-bench\/\" rel=\"tag\">#wine bench<\/a><\/div>[vc_empty_space]Array[vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space]<div class='shortcode-x-offerts'><div class='shortcode-x-offers-block'><strong>10 \u20ac offerts sur votre premi\u00e8re commande !<\/strong><div>Achetez vos vins en vente priv\u00e9e sur Twil.
