temperture

[joeyz6]

:0 Thirty degrees Celsius, if that is indeed what you meant to type, is far too hot to be exposing wine for more than a few minutes. The juice will quickly go bad at that temperature. Wine should be stored at about 12-13 degrees Celsius, certainly no more than 18 or 19 for any length of time.
For tasting (testing?) wine, use the following guideline:
Sparkling wine: 9-10 degrees
White wine: 10-12
Light reds: 15
Medium/full-bodied reds: 16-18

These are some estimates off the top of my head ... hopefully one of the real experts here will chime in and correct any errors.
