Perguntamos a um especialista: Quais são os maiores erros que todos nós cometemos com vinho? –

Think you’ve got the wine thing figured out? There are some wine mistakes you might not even know you’re making. Don’t worry — we’ve brought in the big guns to make sure you roll into 2025 with important wine intel. To brush up on common wine blunders, we pulled up a barstool next to Jerry Chandler, a wine consultant and the GM of Charlotte’s The Bohemian Wine Bar . Chandler talked us through five mistakes almost every wine drinker makes at some point, including serving it at a suboptimal temperature or employing overzealous cork-popping techniques.

Perhaps most surprising was his suggestion to stick red wine in the fridge before pouring since most of us serve it too warm. Here are five wine mistakes to avoid to help you get the most out of every bottle. Wine is often served too cold or too warm to express its full slate of aromatic compounds. We tend to drink white wine straight out of the refrigerator and red wine right off the counter, but both could benefit from coming a little more toward the center for an ideal serving temperature. Neither ice cold white wine nor too-warm red wine can express their aromatic compounds effectively. The flavors of white wine are more dynamic in the 40s or 50s (Fahrenheit, that is) and red wines in the 50s or 60s. To achieve this, “it’s OK to put red wine in the fridge for 10 or 15 minutes, just to get it a little bit cooler,” Chandler says.

Similarly, you can remove your white wine from the fridge 15 to 20 minutes before you intend to serve it, or just chill a room temperature bottle of white in a bucket of ice water for that same amount of time. “That’s going to give you that temperature that’s going to be in the 40s,” he says, “but it’s not going to be too cold.” Note that ice plus water and salt will chill your bottle much faster than just ice alone. You can tuck a bottle into the freezer for a few minutes, “just don’t forget about it, because you’re going to burn that wine and a lot of the sugars are gonna separate,” Chandler says.
