* Cool Breeze===General Tips===Red wines are generally served at a cool room temperature. Many white wines should be chilled before imbibement with a meal. Really old wine is probably ok to drink because of its alcohol content, it's a matter of taste. Drink what you like, not what people tell you you should.
