Wine continues to mature depending
on the surrounding conditions. The
length of time for which wine can be
kept in good condition will therefore
depend not only on the temperature but
also on the air quality.
The wine storage unit with its constant
ideal temperature, increased air
humidity and odor free atmosphere
offers the perfect conditions for storing
your wine.
It also guarantees a vibration-free
environment so that the maturing
process is not disturbed.
Temperature
Wine can be stored at a temperature
between 42°F and 64°F (6°C and
18°C). If you are storing white and red
wines together, select a temperature
between 53°F and 57°F (12°C and
14°C). This is suitable for both red and
white wines.
At too high a temperature (over 71°F
(22°C)), wine matures too quickly,
which prevents the aromas from
developing further. Wine cannot mature
fully at too low a temperature (below
41°F (5°C)).
Fluctuations in temperature put wine
under stress and interrupt the maturing
process. It is therefore very important to
maintain a constant temperature.
Type of wine Recommended
drinking
temperature
Light, fruity red
wines:
+157°F to 60°F
(4°C to +16°C)

Tip: Store the wine 1 or 2° cooler than
the recommended drinking temperature
as it warms up a little when poured into
the glass.
Full-bodied reds should be opened for
2-3 hours before drinking to allow it to
breathe and develop its aroma.
