Summer brings on a thirst for dry white and sparkling wines, but spare a thought for refreshing reds too, for picnics, barbecues and al fresco sipping. Since a wine's first duty is to refresh, overt tannins, oak and hefty alcohol become uglier in warm weather. The more northerly the climate (or southerly in the southern hemisphere), the lighter the red, generally speaking. Half an hour in the fridge for a Loire, Beaujolais or north Italian red will bring out the lively sappiness of the fruit.
