What types of red wines can you chill?


Generally merlot, chianti and cabenet sauvignon should not be chilled. Are there any other types of red wine that are suppossed to be chilled?

Actually the big reds you mention are supposed to be served around 60 degrees--slightly below room temperature. Chardonnay, Viognier, Pinot Noir and Beaujolais should be served slightly below cellar temperature (50 degrees) and light whites like Sauv. Blanc should be served out of the fridge (45 degrees).

I agree, it is totally preference of the drinker.
All wines, red and white and so on can be chilled.
Some people chill red wine to help it last longer.....some people say chilling red wine spoils it....some people just like chilled red wine....everybodys different.

I have found that alot of people including myself like merlot and cab chilled also the chianti, another is shiraz, another is rose, another is the dark zinfandal, the only one I dont like is burgendy...hope it helps

According to tradition white wines are served chilled at about 48潞 and red wines are served at 'cellar temperature, around 56潞.
Beaujolais, a lighter red wine, is normally chilled to white wine temps!
.

Technically you can chill ANY wine, its just a preference of the drinker.

This is going to make me sounds tacky, but I have always like good ol' cheap Cold Duck. Its a sparkling red wine and best served real cold.
