I just bought a small 16 wine wine cooler. What is the optimal temp. for white and blush wines?
Answer From Expert Roger Bohmrich MW
Questions about storage temperature are very popular on the LWE forum. The good news is that it means you and many other wine drinkers are paying attention to the fact that storage conditions are extremely important with respect to wines which you intend to keep for years. For others, such as basic whites, reds or roses which will be consumed within months, there is far less concern about storage. It is standard practice to maintain a stable temperature in the 50's F, and your cooler is no doubt designed for that range. You can always verify the temperature with an inexpensive refrigerator thermometer, which I use in my own wine cabinets just to be sure.
