Hi Facundo, and welcome to the Wine Board. There is not even agreement about what temperatures to drink wine at, much less a rule about exact temperatures. What follows is complicated by the fact that I measure temps in degrees F and you do it degrees C. Generally medium and full bodied reds should be drunk at "cellar" temperature. This is usally five or ten degrees below "living room" temperature. For light reds go down another five degrees. For must whites and rose's go down another five; and for sparklers and dessert wines go down another ten.

Have a thermometer in the room the wine is stored in. You can lower temps in a refrigerator at the rate of approximately one degree per ten minutes. In a bucket filled with ice and then water, you can lower temps at ten times that rate or ten degrees in ten minutes.
