Wine
Is red wine supposed to be served chilled or room temperature?
I don’t even really get into red wine, but we got a free bottle of some french crap from the neighbor welcoming us here. So do I chill it or just pop the bottle and start chugging?
Well I tried it room temperature with dinner just now and it tasted like crap. That’s way too bitter for me.

Chilled is much better, but wait til I get there dammit. I want me summa dat!
I’d say chilled is better.
I’d have to side with Pimpy on this one. All red wine is supposed to be served on the tracks at an outdoor temperature.
Just remember…the first glass is the hardest. It gets easier with every glass until your panties are on the conductors head and your caboose is showing.
Red wine should be served at room temperate.
chilled
Yep. You served it correctly. Red wine is supposed to taste like bitter crap.
Just chug it, that sounds mo classy.
Serve it as a frozen popsicle.
Straight outta the bottle, on the railroad tracks.
don’t chug good french wine! that is good with food at room temp. put a splash in worcestershire sauce for steak Diane broiled medium rare. Are you that desperate for a drink? So sad. Put it away and get yourself a beer to chug. beer can be chugged watching sports but wine is meant to be sipped to be enjoyed with food. Your neighbor was being nice and that is not a classy remark! If you chug red wine, don’t gripe when you have a head banging headache later.
im not too into wine but chill it cause if you drink it at room temp, youll taste all that bitterness in the wine, as to when it is cold you can gag it down better.
