If you see someone's glass is low, offer to pour them more wine. Tell your guests about the wines you're serving them. Let them know what kind of wines they are, how old each bottle is, and where they all came from. Part 4. Always serve red wine below room temperature.

If you're chilling wine in the fridge, turn the temperature dial up 1 or 2 notches so the wine doesn't get too cold.
Don't forget to turn it back after you're done chilling the wine. Place the wine in the fridge several hours before serving. Regular fridge temperatures can make wines too cold.
