32 wines to drink when it's hot outside - from light-bodied favourites to reds you can get away with

Red wine grapes, three glasses of different coloured wine and white wine grapes.

When the weather’s hot outside, we all have our go-to wines that we tend to lean towards. But there are more suitable options than you might think.

There are a few things to consider when choosing the best wines to drink when it’s hot outside. Firstly, opting for a wine with a lower alcohol content would be a good idea, as it will be less likely to dehydrate you. It’s also important to consider the tannin level, as high levels can be dehydrating too. Lastly, consider the acidity and oak balance - something unoaked with a clean fruit aroma would suit warm weather best.
