This Wine Cabinet is also perfect for long-term storage/cellaring of wines.

●
The ideal temperature for long-term storage of red and white wines is between

Storing red and white wine
●
●
When storing a combination of red and white wines, we recommend storing same
case wines together. For example red wine in the bottom zone and white wine in the
upper zone.
●
●
Depending on the number of wine bottles and functions selected, it may take
48 hours for the Wine Cabinet temperatures to stabilise.
●
●
Not all wine stored will improve/mature over time. Some wine are best consumed at
an early stage, while others have remarkable ageing capabilities. Do check with your
wine merchant for more information.
