Why do people still believe in the 'red wine must at all times be served at room temperature' meme?

People don't. Ideally most red wine is served just under room temperature, and lighter reds are often served colder than that. Try a chilled Beaujolais-Villages or zweigelt. Fucking delicious.

The reds I have tend to be mostly room temperature though

The rule I've always heard is "Chill white wine, remove an hour before serving. Don't chill red wine, but put in the fridge an hour before serving"

Not sure if its a good rule or not, I like my reds and whites room temperature more often than not.

Generally the heavier and more complex the wine the closer to room tempo it is served. Lighter simple wines tend to be chilled.

I think you're new here. No.6589378 wasn't saying he doesn't know what a meme is. He was quoting someone else.

because red wine is serious business, consumed by serious men.

Also - your picture looks like a dark rose, not a red. Perhaps a cerasuolo?

>>6589416
a good rule. Frustratingly, most people drink reds too warm and whites too cold.

He was implying that 'red wine should be drunk at room temp' isn't a meme. But it is.

It's not a meme. It's just a tradition. It's not even a hard-and-fast rule.

Christ, if you were to take away the words "meme" and "cuck", you'd obliterate half this site.

if it's fucking merlot or you buy cheap pinot, yeah of course you'd have that opinion.

Buy a $15 dollar bottle of cabernet sauvignon and then tell me that tastes like shit. It's hard to mess up CS.

It's similar to how people think beer should be ice ice cold, when it should really just be pretty cold. Ice ice cold and you can't really taste the beer completely. Red wine should be chilled but not as cold as beer should be.

this. You're supposed to chill light reds, but I hate my light reds chilled. I also like drinking whites at room temperature just as much as chilled.

I don't. what ever you prefer. I do like light German whites ( ok gonna hear a bunch of shit ) cold, Liebfraumilch, Riesling, with seafood. and Rose, (reunite on ice, like lancers, cold duck or chammpiple ( combine cheap cold duck and ripple.. I coming for you..) And most eye ties only ship Chianti when only fit to wash pigs. I like Merlot, or even mead or .. unlikely source, but Kingfisher. Do what ya will. but if ya need it desperately, ya might wanna leave it off. My Dad. and Mom. Also, one other thing, Mom and dad both said don't require a second chance, but mashup its nice. ain't the first, nor last. Alpha and omega I you cease to love or help others... donnoo man. the least of these.,,, Plus you suck like an electrolux. yhat ever you like...

This.
Most red wines you want a little under room temperature. A good rule thumb is take white wine out of the fridge 20 minutes before serving and put red wine in 20 minutes before serving.

The exception would be a syrah/shiraz which needs to be room temp to appreciate.
