Serving Wine at the Wrong Temperature Mistake: Serving red wine too warm or white wine too cold. Solution: Red wines should generally be served slightly below room temperature (around 60-65°F or 15-18°C), while white wines are best served chilled (around 45-50°F or 7-10°C).
Storing Wine Improperly Mistake: Keeping wine in a place that’s too warm, too cold, or in direct sunlight.q Solution: Store wine in a cool, dark place with a consistent temperature, ideally around 55°F (13°C). For long-term storage, keep the bottles on their sides to keep the cork moist.
Not Decanting When Needed Mistake: Failing to decant wines that benefit from it, especially older reds or young tannic wines. Solution: Decant older wines to separate them from sediment and allow younger wines to aerate, enhancing their flavors and aromas.
Ignoring the Importance of Glassware Mistake: Using improper glassware for different types of wine. Solution: Use the appropriate glassware to enhance the wine's characteristics. Red wines generally benefit from larger, rounder glasses, while white wines are best served in narrower glasses.
Overlooking Wine's Shelf Life Mistake: Assuming all wines improve with age. Solution: Know the ideal drinking window for each wine. While some wines age well, many are best enjoyed young.

Avoiding these common mistakes can help you enhance your wine experience and enjoy each bottle to its fullest!
