The article discusses the trend of chilling red wines for summer consumption, highlighting that younger and fruity wines are best served cold, around 11-12°C. This practice is increasingly seen as casual, similar to other beverages like beer and cocktails. Wine expert Benji Sher emphasizes that colder is preferable to warmer, and J Lee reflects on the evolving casualness of wine drinking, hinting at the potential resurgence of ice cubes in wine. The overall theme promotes rethinking wine consumption in warmer weather.
"In hot and sweaty Barcelona, we serve all our reds at between 11C and 12C, which is definitely too cold for super-tannic bangers, but better to be too cold than too hot."
"A cold wine is more a thing to drink and less a thing to savour; I think the way we're consuming wine is becoming more casual."
