Andy_Copland 0 #1 April 23, 2006 Quick question for all the wine drinkers. I have a girl coming around tonight and i dont have a clue about wine, i bought her the stuff i know she likes but do i keep it on the fridge or serve room temp? Also would it be rude of me to sit there with a can of lager? 1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.

NWFlyer 2 #2 April 23, 2006 Most people think white white should be served right out of the fridge, but really it's better if you take it out of the fridge about an hour or so before you serve it. So, not room temperature, but not super cold, either. If you're trying to be all classy-like, pour her wine in a glass and your lager in a glass."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

SpeedRacer 1 #3 April 23, 2006 white wine gets served chilled (like 45 degrees F), red wine at basement temperature (like 55 degrees F) Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ltdiver 3 #9 April 23, 2006 Thanks for your post, Kris. Never knew the 'proper' way to prepare the wine other than open-pour-drink. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
