The lower the temperature, the more slowly a wine develops. [4] On average, the rate of chemical reactions in wine double with each 18 °F (10 °C) increase in temperature. Wine expert Karen MacNeil recommends keeping wine intended for aging in a cool area with a constant temperature around 55 °F (13 °C). Wine can be stored at temperatures as ...
Winkler index Region/class °F units °C units General ripening capability and wine style Region Ia 1500–2000 850–1111 Only very early ripening varieties achieve high quality, mostly hybrid grape varieties and some V. vinifera.
Tom Stevenson speculates that 52 °F (11 °C) may be the most ideal temperature for storage and aging, while Karen MacNeil recommends keeping wine intended for ageing in a cool area with a constant temperature around 55 °F (13 °C). Wine can be stored at temperatures as high as 69 °F (21 °C) without long-term negative effect. Professor ...
Wine generally matures differently and more slowly at a lower temperature than it does at a higher temperature. [2] When the temperature swings are significant, 14 degrees or more, it will cause the wine to breathe through the cork which significantly speeds up the aging process. Between 10–14 °C (50–57 °F), wines will age normally. [3]
Winemakers have different opinions about the ideal temperature for fermentation, but in general cooler temperatures (25–28 °C; 77–82 °F) produce fruitier red wines for early drinking while higher temperatures (28–35 °C; 82–95 °F) produce more tannic wines designed for long aging.
Luminara. TOTAL: 97/100 While some non-alcoholic wines seemed more like a concoction of juices poured into a wine bottle, Luminara stands out for its craftsmanship.
The wine transferred from the second barrel has an average age of 2.5 years (at the end of year 2, after barrel transfers, it was half 2-year old wine, half 1-year old wine, for an average age of 1.5 years; at the end of year 3, before barrel transfers, it will have aged another year for an average age of 2.5 years).
