UROCAVE
Our biding desire is to support your passion for wine throughout the years… To do so, EuroCave has used all of its
expertise to bring together the six essential criteria for serving wine:
Temperature
The two enemies of wine are extreme temperatures and sudden changes in temperature. A constant temperature allows
the wine to fully develop.
Humidity
It’s an essential factor, allowing the corks to retain their sealing properties. The level of humidity must be greater than
50 % (ideally between 60 and 75 %).
Protection from Light
Light, particularly its U.V. component, causes wine to quickly deteriorate by irreversible oxidation of tannins. It is therefore
strongly recommended that you store wine in a dark place or protected from U.V. light.
Vibration
Vibrations disturb wine’s slow biochemical development process and are often fatal for your finest wines. The “Main du
Sommelier” supports adapt to the shape of the bottle and protect it from vibrations (anti-vibration technology).
Air circulation
A constant supply of fresh air prevents mould from developing in your cabinet. EuroCave cabinets benefit from a ventilation
system with breather effect, which makes it very similar to the ventilation system of a natural cellar.
Storage
Moving bottles too often is harmful to wine. Having suitable storage that limits handling is essential.
All of these specific features are found in the Compact 59 wine cabinet by EuroCave that you have just purchased. Thank
you for placing your trust in us.
