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 storage unit with its constant
ideal temperature, increased air
humidity and odor-free atmosphere
offers the perfect conditions for storing
your wine.
It also guarantees a vibration-free
environment so that the maturing
process is not disturbed.
Temperature
Wine can be stored at a temperature
between 43°F and 64°F (6°C and
18°C). If you are storing white and red
wines together, select a temperature
between 54°F and 57°F (12°C and
14°C). This is suitable for both red and
white wines.
At too high a temperature (over 72°F
(22°C)), wine matures too quickly,
which prevents the aromas from
developing further. Wine cannot mature
fully at too low a temperature (below
41°F (5°C)).
Fluctuations in temperature put wine
under stress and interrupt the maturing
process. It is therefore very important to
maintain a constant temperature.

Tip
: Store the wine 3°F to 5°F (1°C or
2°C) degrees cooler than the
recommended drinking temperature as
it warms up a little when poured into the
glass.
A full-bodied red should be opened for
2-3 hours before drinking to allow it to
breathe and develop its aroma.
