What Temperature Should You Serve Merlot Wine At?
On One Hand: Be Rigid with Your TemperatureIf you are serving an expensive Merlot and you want to get the most out of your bottle, serve the wine between 55 and 60 degrees. These are temperatures that mimic a cellar, making it the ideal temperature for serving.On the Other: Don’t Be So RigidMaybe your wine isn’t that expensive, or maybe you like your wine cold, no matter what kind it is. You can serve wine at any temperature you like. But know that the temperature could slightly affect the taste.Bottom LineDo whatever you like. Gone are the days when there are rigid rules to wine. Drink a Merlot with your sea bass and a Pinot Grigio with prime rib.
