In reality Room Temperature, as well as Warm, Cold, etc. is very well
defined. The USP, which is recognized by US Law and is consistent
with definitions around the world defines controlled Room Temperature

It might be a case of an unintended meaning resulting from word-by-word
translation. I have read that "room temperature", with regards to wine,
traditionally refers to the room temperature of a wine celler, with the best
temperature being about 58F.

These days, traditional wine "rules" have broken down a bit and people are
willing to experiment or follow the recomendations of the wine maker.
