Slightly cold red wine isn’t blasphemy; it’s the perfect thing to drink on an early fall evening.
Red wine chilled?!
But mother always said: "White wine should be chilled. Red wine should be room temp."
Time to loosen those proverbial corsets. On average, it was colder indoors when the custom of drinking red wine at room temperature arose. (Castles are drafty.) Likewise, even though white wines were traditionally consumed right out of the cellar, i.e., cold, they're not intended to be served as cold as our refrigerators now allow.
So you're probably drinking red wine that's too hot.
