Most wine lovers agree that storing temperatures and serving temperatures are two different things. So, despite that reds and whites are typically served at different temperatures, the ideal storage temperature for both is about 55 degrees F, which will help keep your wines from the risk of aging prematurely.
The same chemical principles apply to wine. For crispier white wines, such as Sauvignon Blancs, drinking a bit colder than Chardonnay is preferred, but still not so cold you cannot distinguish the taste. About 48 degrees should be about right. For lighter reds, such as Beaujolais, 54 degrees best suits the wine.
