I’ve written a little utility to calculate how long a bottle of wine takes to cool or warm to your desired serving temperature, and thought you might find it useful:
The method I use is referenced on the web page, but let me know if you’d like more information beyond that.
I drink my red and white wines starting at cellar temperature. trying to keep the whites on the cool side during service. I don’t have any interest in warming red wine before drinking
If red wine is really cold (passive cellar in the winter i.e.) it´s better to bring it to 16 d c two days before consumption. I experienced that most red wines are better when they had time to come to the right temperature. Coming direkt from a cold cellar is not the best formula for great reds IMO.
