Depends on the wine, but usually it tastes better chilled.
-
It is mostly a matter of your own personal preference. In general, it is considered better to chill white wine, and serve red wine at room temperature, but that is not carved in stone.
-
It depends completely on the type of the wine you are drinking. A merlot and other types of red wines typically is served at room temperature or a bit colder (around 65 degrees) where a pinot gricio should be chilled in the fridge for a couple hours before serving. I am sure there are some wine connoisseur out there that know the exact temperature for each type of wine but that is what I was always taught.

what color is it

Most white wines are chilled before serving and a few reds (pinots) are chilled a little bit below room temp., but most reds are served room temperature. Do whatever you and your friends like to do and don't get hung up on the rules.

Generally speaking.....you could drink most red wines from room temperature and you should chill white wines....

White and Rose yes Red wine No unless it is a light German or Hungarian Riesling and then it is probably better chilled.

you had to chill most white wine. There is a noteworthy exception, white wines served to make a contrast with cheese such Roquefort, Gorgonzola,....; in this case white wine had to be served at room temperature.
