Coppell, Texas – September 15, 2026 -- A few degrees can make the difference between a wine that tastes bright and balanced and one that falls flat, according to a new HelloNation feature on serving temperature.

Red wines open up between 60 and 68 degrees

Wine expert Bob Landon of Landon Winery, known as "Mr. Wine of Texas," explains that within this range, reds reveal fruit and spice without harshness while tannins soften and structure holds. Serve a red too warm, and alcohol becomes more noticeable while fruit turns muted and the wine feels heavy. A brief chill can restore that balance.
