5 Tips for Wines in Summer

When the days get longer and temperatures rise, there's hardly anything more enjoyable than spending quality time with family and friends in the garden or on the terrace. A well-chilled wine, delicious grilled food, and relaxed conversations make every summer day a special experience. But which wine goes with which occasion? And how does it stay perfectly tempered even on hot days?

1. Opt for light and fruity summer wines

On warm days, light white wines and fruity rosé wines are the first choice. They impress with their freshness, lively acidity, and fruity aromas.

Particularly popular are:

• Grüner Veltliner
• Sauvignon Blanc
• Riesling
• Gelber Muskateller
• Rosé from Zweigelt or Blaufränkisch

These wines are ideal companions for warm summer evenings and provide refreshing enjoyment.

2. The right serving temperature makes all the difference

Direct sunlight harms the wine and alters its aromas. Therefore, store opened bottles in the shade or in a wine cooler. This way, your wine stays fresh and aromatic longer. Even the best wine loses flavor if served too warm.

Our recommendation:

• White wine: 8–10 °C
• Rosé wine: 8–10 °C
• Sparkling wine: 6–8 °C
• Light red wines: 12–14 °C

A wine cooler or chilling sleeve will keep your wine pleasantly cool on the terrace. We have a dedicated article on properly storing and chilling wine.

3. Perfectly pair summer dishes with wine

The right combination of food and wine creates a special taste experience.

Perfect combinations:

• Sauvignon Blanc with salads and goat cheese
• Grüner Veltliner with asparagus and grilled vegetables
• Riesling with fish and seafood
• Rosé wine with antipasti, pasta, and pizza
• Light red wines with grilled chicken or vegetables
