Definitely not. Of course it depends somewhat on the eating conditions. In an environment where it remains hot at night and there is no air conditioning (i.e. an environment where room temperature will be too warm for red wine), I'm not likely to open red wine. But, even with air conditioning, I am still more likely to go with young wines as I find that the aged complexities of red and white wine can be diminished by the heat. But, like everything, it depends. A "normal" 80F day with air conditioning might not be such a big deal but when it gets over 100F that can be a different story.
