Sparkling wines should be served at 9C, white wine at 12C, rose at 11C and red wine at 17C.
But how long does that mean you need to put it in the fridge? Well, a bottle of wine will cool 2C (4F) for every ten minutes in the refrigerator, and will warm at about this same rate when removed from the refrigerator and left at room temperature.
