Absolutely.
A general rule of thumb: Red wine, 65 degrees (F). White & rose wine, 55 degrees (F). Champagne & other bubbly, 45 degrees (F).
Beer unlike spirits would not be drinkable in temperatures below zero degrees Celsius. Beer does not contain enough alcohol for it not to freeze therefore it would become solid in these conditions.
There are lots of tips, tricks and suggestions out there for corralling the bubbles. Most recommended is a special pressure-withstanding cap just for champagne bottles. You can do that, and/or you can pump out the oxygen, pump in carbon dioxide, place a metal spoon in the neck of the bottle, etc.Or you can do nothing. Yes, a few years ago the University of California (Davis, I think) did a study on the best way to store open champagne. They tested every possibility and concluded that leaving the bottle open and upright in the refrigerator works as well as anything else. We tried it, agree, and have gratefully stored it that way ever since.
There is no particular temperature of drinking water. Some people routinely drink water at 0 degrees centigrade in Summers to beat the heat. Whereas most of the speakers prefer slightly warm water throughout the year to keep their vocal cords relaxed.
In my experience (leaving it outside to the elements and knowing the temperature from a thermometer), the freezing temperature is BELOW 10 fahrenheit. Obviously, it needs to be exposed at that temperature for at least a few hours for the bottle's original temperature to fall. That's all I got.
Some Ice would melt, absorbing heat (enthalpy for the phase transition). Since Salt Water has a lower freezing point than zero degrees, the liquid will cool down. This colder liquid will chill the ice (if it isn't already colder than zero) and the result will be a mixture of ice and water that is colder than zero degrees C. This is why adding salt to ice buckets can cool Champagne faster.
With ice. The first way to chill champagne is to place the bottle in a refrigerator for a couple hours, although you should not store your bottle in the fridge for much longer than that. The ideal temperature for serving champagne is between 43-48 degrees fahrenheit. If you need a quick way to chill your champagne, place it in a bucket or container with ice, water, and a handful of salt, which reduces the temperature and speeds the chilling process. By the way, never put your bottle in the freezer as a quick chilling method; it will mess up the champagne's alcohol balance.
The alcohol can be removed by fractional distillation : if done carefully, the remainder of the beverage would be unchanged and drinkable, except that any alcohol-soluble solids would precipitate. Heating the liquid to about 175 degrees F (80 degrees C) will drive out the alcohol. If the drink were heated enough, the water would also evaporate, and would have to be re-added to the remaining materials to recreate the drink. The problem would be that heating the drink to remove the alcohol (without removing the water) is a destructive process to many beverages, including those that depend on carbonation or dissolved gases. When used to lower the alcohol content of drinks such as beer, it is done under controlled conditions because heat and light can affect the non-alcoholic product.
The total degrees between 45 degrees and -5 degrees is 50 degrees.
There isn't any specific shelf-life for champagne...it varies due to the ingredients and makers. Champagne keeps for a few years as long as it is stored in a cool, dark, dry environment. Example: A bottle that has been on your shelf for 2 years will still be good for consumption. A bottle that has been in your closet for 8 years should be used only for cruise-liner christenings!
yes, red wine should be served/stored at about 65 degrees F. back in the old days the average room temperature and the temp of caves was around 65F, unlike today where it is more like 74F. whites should be around 45F as well as sparkling/champagne. yes, red wine should be served/stored at about 65 degrees F. back in the old days the average room temperature and the temp of caves was around 65F, unlike today where it is more like 74F. whites should be around 45F as well as sparkling/champagne.
180 degrees - 100 degrees - 40 degrees = 40 degrees
