I've found many restaurants tend to serve reds at room temperature instead of cellar temperature or a few degrees above. I'm not interested in drinking mulled wine.
Haven't you noticed that during meal service they lower the cabin temperature.
I fly in business class a lot on AA intl., and the wines they serve are not of the caliber where I would worry about temperature that much.
