Wines kept at too high a temperature will age faster than wines kept at cold temperature. Theoretically,
wines kept at 15
℃
will age twice as fast as those kept at 12
℃
. At 12
℃
wines will age so slowly-with
ultimately greater complexity-that you will never have to worry about them.This is not to say the colder
the better. Wine that is stored too cold can develop deposits or other suspensions in the wine. Finally,
keep in mind that white wines are affected far more by temperature problems than red wines.

Glass Door
From time to time, depending on the external temperature and humidity level, some condensation may
appear on the glass door. This phenomenon has no effect on the wine and will disappear when the
difference between the external and internal temperature is reduced.
General Information For Wine Storage
1. For a wine lover, a cooler is a necessity. Fine wines are worth paying extra for only if you can store
and eventually serve them in good condition. The principle s behind storing wine are not complex,
difficult to understand or necessarily difficult to achieve. And if you can’t achieve them all, some of
them are better than none. Let’s begin with the ideal. From here, you can then try to approach the
ideal as close as you are able. You are looking to achieve balance and consistency.
2. Maintaining the correct environment is essential if you are going to store your wines for an extended
period of time. The desirable environment is a temperature range of 12
℃
-13
℃
and between 55% to
75% humidity. To maintain this environment you must isolate your cellar from any conditions that
would compromise these desired ranges.
3. In the process of cooling a room, air-conditioners and refrigerator driers out the air. They are
designed to perform properly in the 12
℃
-13
℃
and 55% to 75% humidity range. Because of this, it is
necessary to buy refrigeration units designed specifically for wine cooler if you want to maintain the
proper environment.
