Getting the right temperature from your fridge or drinks cooler can be vital to achieving the optimum taste, one expert has suggested.
According to husband and wife authors of What to Drink With What You Eat, a guide which offers advice on pairing food with a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, many people are unaware of how important it can be.
The Associated Press states that Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page are passionate about the subject and are even likely to carry their own infrared thermometers when visiting eateries and bars.
"Temperature is far more important than it typically gets credit as being when it comes to flavour," Mr Dornenburg told the news agency.
"Twenty or even ten degrees can make an enormous difference in how the exact same wine tastes."
The news could prompt some consumers to check their own fridges and coolers and in some cases invest in items to keep track of temperatures - such as the
Electrolux digital fridge and freezer thermometer.
