Best Answer

Yes red or white wine does go in the refrigerator.

In general the accepted 'rule' is that white wine is served chilled (ie lightly refrigerated) whilst red wines are served at room temperature. The 'stronger' the flavour of the wine the better it will stand up to being drunk warm and the less flavour it has the more it will benefit from being chilled. Personal preference plays a major role - if you like your red wine cool then cool it. But to play safe when serving guests whose preference you don't know just follow the basic rule - white & rose wines cooled, reds at room temperature. Also - to be correct - it is usually best to open red wines a little before they will be needed and let them 'breath' for say 30 minutes.
