What temperature should red, white, and sparkling wine be stored at in a cooler?

For service-ready storage in a cooler, these are the most practical targets:

Red wine: store around 12 to 16°C (lighter reds towards the lower end). If it’s kept colder for space or speed, bring it up to serving temperature in the glass.

White wine: store around 7 to 10°C for crisp styles, up to 10 to 12°C for fuller-bodied whites.

Sparkling wine: store around 5 to 7°C so it pours cleanly and stays lively.

If you’re using a single-zone Unifrost bottle cooler for a mixed wine list, a common compromise is about 8 to 10°C, then temper reds briefly before serving.
