How about the temperature

[Innkeeper]

The only temperature you have to take is the ambient (room) temperature where the wine is stored or is sitting in after coming home from the store. Then open it or chill it according to the approximate rates we have provided. Then go with what you have without anymore temperature taking. If it is too cool or too warm for you, make adjustments with the next bottle. Keep in mind that this is an inexact procedure.

I keep all my wine in an enviroment that stays around 65 degrees F. The reds go straight to the table or decanter. The whites and rose' table wine go into the refrigerator for an hour or so before dinner. Nothing more precise than that.
