What Wine Can Be Stored at Room Temperature

White wine generally is ideally stored at slightly cooler temperatures than red wine but you can store white wine very easily at room temperature. A great temperature range for both red and white wine is about 55° F so, despite popular belief, you don’t need to store reds and whites separately.

Can unopened wine be stored at room temperature?

Regardless of the type or label, wine should never be kept below 25 °F (-4ºC), which can cause wine to freeze, or above 68°F (20°C), which can accelerate the aging process and destroy volatile compounds.

How long can you keep unrefrigerated wine?

Full-bodied white wine will last 3-5 days. Light white and rosé wine generally last 3-5 days. Red wine lasts about 3-5 days; some even taste better a day after opening.
