The Right Temperature To Serve Every Type Of Wine. 1  The Wine Temperature Serving Guide. 2  Sparking Wine Should Be Served Ice Cold â 40 to 50 degrees. 3  White Wine And RosÃ© Should Be Served Cold â 50 to 60 degrees. 4  Red Wine Should Be Served Cool â 60 to 70 degrees. The most common misconception with red wine is that it is ideal to serve it at room temperature, when in fact serving it cool is the best way to enjoy it. To cool red down to its proper temperature, we like to place it in the fridge an hour before serving it. For quicker results, you can put it in the freezer for just 15 minutes.
