Vibration & Light
The third factor to be considered for optimum
wine storage is vibration. Excessive movement
or vibrations caused by noisy compressors or other
sources can impede the stable development of
wine. It is therefore important to have a premium,
quiet compressor in your wine storage facility,
while also minimizing all other external sources of
possible vibration.
The fourth factor is light. Placing your wine in
direct sunlight or ultraviolet light will deteriorate
the quality of the wine. Many wineries use bottles
with colored glass to help protect the wine from
these harmful elements. A Viking wine cellar with
low-intensity light and ultraviolet-resistant glass will
help preserve the quality of your wines.
UV-resistant glass protects wine
from the harmful effects of light, and
the lower zone has taller maple
fronts for additional UV protection.
Coated racks reduce
vibration and hold bottle
snugly in place.
