The 8 Best Chillable Red Wines for 2024
Summer is finally here and that means it's time to pop open bottles of chillable red natural wines! Chillable red wines are generally fruitier and lighter-bodied, lower in alcohol content (less than 13%) and tannin structure, with mouth-watering acidity.
Temperature to Serve Chillable Red Wine
Recommended serving temperature is 50-55 degrees Fahrenheit as anything lower than that will gradually begin masking the fruity characteristics of your wine, so try and stick to it as close as possible. Throw the bottle in the fridge for about 30-45 min and you should be good to go. Alternatively, you can throw it in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes, but don't leave any longer otherwise you risk having the bottle burst in the freezer (and you don't want that mess, trust us!)
Lambruscos are quintessential chillable red wines, long before it even became a thing. Fresh, dry, delicious and slightly effervescent, this will surely quench your thirst!

One liter (1000ML) bottle of wine is typically a bargain, but when you craft a bottle using a red blend of purely Catalan (Spain) native grape varieties, what you get is a steal, as this is very rare to see here on our side of the world!
