On ice...

         

Question: How long does it take to bring wine to the proper serving temperature?

Answer: White wine should be served at 55 degrees, so plan on 1.5 hours in a refrigerator, 40 minutes in a freezer, or 20 minutes in ice & water. Red wine should be served at around 65 degrees, so you can refrigerate a bottle of red for 20 minutes before your guests arrive.
