Wine experts recommend three different serving temperatures for enjoying wine. These three ranges of serving temperature are set for Red, White, Champagne/Sparkling and Dessert wines.  The recommended temperature for Red Wine is often listed as "room temperature" or 58-65  F., a good temperature inside castle walls but most modern homes are much warmer than that. White wines are most frequently served at "cellar temperature" 48-58  F. Champagne and Sparkling wines are served cold or iced to 40-45  F. and Dessert wines 51-65  F.

An accurate wine thermometer measures the temperature of the wine itself. Taking the temperature of the wine itself gives the most accurate results. Optionss Digital wine thermometer does just that. It comes with 14 preprogrammed ideal serving temperatures of most popular wines. You can also program into the thermometer the ideal serving temperatures for up to 4 of your favorite wines.

When we enjoy wine we sniff it too. The aroma or bouquet of the grape opens as the wine warms to the recommended serving temperature. Not sure about how long the wine should breath? The Optionss wine thermometer has a digital timer built in. Even if a bottle has been kept in proper cellar for an extended period of time, once the bottle changes environments, the temperature will change. The temperature can be trusted only if the temperature of the wine itself it taken. Visit our
