You've always served wine incorrectly: an expert talks about the 20/20 rule

Most people adhere to the rule that white wine should be stored in the refrigerator and red wine in the cupboard.

However, Heather Muriello, a New York-based alcohol specialist, says it's better to follow a completely different method called "20/20", which can help you love wine even more, the Mirror reports.

According to the expert, red wine should be refrigerated for 20 minutes before serving. This will help to better reveal the complex flavors of the wine. On the contrary, white wine needs to rest for 20 minutes from the refrigerator before it gets to the table.

Red and white wines differ not only in the type of grapes they are made from, but also in their entire composition. The main difference lies in the different processes used to make them. Red wines are fermented with grape skins and seeds, while white wines are often pressed without these components.

Using the 20/20 rule, you can emphasize the dryness and basic flavor of the wine. Therefore, if you do not have a special wine refrigerator, you can achieve this effect with a regular refrigerator for food storage.
