For the third time in as many weeks I've been served a bottle of red wine that was far too warm. This seems to happen more often in the hot weather and is an indication the restaurant is not storing their wine properly.

The last time after tasting I asked the bottle be put into an ice bucket and got a snide remark from the server about how red wine was SUPPOSED to be served. What followed was an exchange of unpleasantries with the manager, him apologizing profusely and a change in servers.

Even some better restaurants in North America don't seem to understand that heat isn't good for red wine. Meanwhile in continental Europe I can't recall being served an overheated glass of red wine at even the lowliest cafe.
