Hi Sour, and welcome to the Wine Board. Two questions: Why can't you chill the wine? and what are you eating? The reason why I'm asking, is that most low alcohol wines are white and need to be chilled.

WE ARE HAVING A TRADITIONAL DINNER, HAM AND SALADS deserts I DID NOT KNOW THAT WHITE WAS LOW IN ALCOHOL IM ALREADY LEARNING!NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CHILL I THOUGHT MOST WINE WERE DRANK AT ROOM TEMP.

Gotcha, get a German Riesling Kabinett. A good one can be had for between $15 & $20. It needs to be cooled to 55 degrees F or so. White wines do need to be cooled, as do rose's and some light reds such as Beaujolais.
