Ideal Serving Temperatures

The Monogram

®

Wine Vault is designed to store wine at the proper long-term storage

temperature of 55°F. Storage temperatures and serving temperatures can be quite
different. The temperature ranges shown below are the suggested serving temperatures.
Individual preferences may vary.

As a rule for both red and white wines, colder temperatures minimize and mellow the
wine’s flavor and bouquet. Warmer temperatures allow wines to open up and present
a bolder flavor and aroma.
