The temperature at which a wine is served makes a great impact on the taste. While cool, it will mask  some imperfections which is good for younger or cheaper wines. However, a warmer wine temperature allows a more full expression of the wine's characteristics which is favorable when serving an an older or more expensive wine.

Here are some temperatures that goes with each type of the wines:

• Red Wine : 15-20 °C
• Rose Wine: 10-13 °C
• Sparkling Wine: 6-11 °C
• White Wine: 10-15 °C
• Sherry Wine: 10-20

If you need to chill a bottle of wine quickly, 30-40 minutes in the freezer will be enough.
