With These Wine Chillers, Every Sip Is the Perfect Temperature

Few things taste as good as a perfectly chilled glass of wine. Too cold and it can actually lose some of its flavor. Too warm and it just isn’t as refreshing. When it comes to wine, we are perfectly happy making a Goldilocks-style fuss. And before you start to whine that reds don’t need chilling — au contraire. The ideal serving temperature for a glass of moody red is between 60 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit, which puts it a few degrees below room temperature.

It’s for this reason that the best wine chillers can be a real savior, especially in situations where you’re serving more than one glass. After that first pour, wine naturally warms or cools to room temperature (unless you’ve got a fancy wine cellar or wine fridge getup, but for the purposes of this article let’s assume that isn’t the case, mkay?). As we’ve previously established, that’s just not optimal sipping temperature for any varietal. And if you’ve ever tried adding ice cubes to your favorite glass of white wine, we don’t need to tell you how that turns out. The best part about these wine chillers? Your drink won’t be watered down — and we’ll cheers to that.
