The optimum temperature and air quality
24
Wine keeps on maturing 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 conditioning unit with its
constant ideal temperature, increased
air humidity and odour free atmosphere
offers the perfect conditions for storing
your wine.
It also guarantees a vibration-free
environment (in contrast to a
refrigerator) so that the maturing
process is not disturbed.
The optimum temperature
Wine can be stored at a temperature
between 6 and 18 °C. If you are storing
white and red wines together, select a
temperature between 12 and 14 °C.
This is suitable for both white and red
wines. Red wine should be taken out of
the wine conditioning unit and opened
at least two hours before drinking to
allow it to breathe and develop its
aroma.
At too high a temperature (over 22 °C)
wine matures too quickly, which
prevents the aromas from developing
further. Wine cannot mature fully at too
low a temperature (below 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 reds:
+14 °C to +16 °C
Full-bodied reds:
+18 °C
Rosé wines:
+8 °C to +10 °C

Full-bodied or
sweet whites:
+12 °C to +14 °C
Sparkling white
wines, Prosecco:
+6 °C to +10 °C
* Store the wine 1 or 2 °C cooler than
the recommended drinking temperature
as it warms up a little when poured into
the glass.
Tip:
Full-bodied reds should be opened
for 2-3 hours before drinking to allow
the wine to breathe and develop its
aroma.
