Ullage- this is loss of wine from the bottle by evaporation or leakage. Signs of ullage include wine seeping around
the cork, a protruding cork or a stained label. It can happen if the bottle has been allowed to get too warm. The
wine may still be drinkable, if the leakage was recent; however, you should be aware that if the wine cools down
again, contraction can cause more air to be sucked into the bottle and result in further deterioration.
Slight effervescence in still wine- this isn’t really a problem with the way the wine has been stored, but as a result
of incomplete malolactic fermentation before the wine was bottled. A good way to get rid of the effervescence is
to let the wine breathe. Alternatively you can use a bottle vacuum device, after about five minutes the
effervescence will vanish.
Sediment- this is not normally a problem, however both red and white wines can produce sediment after a
number of months in a bottle. The sediment consists of tartrate crystals and is totally harmless. If anything the
building of sediment can be considered a good sign because it means that the wine was not subjected to much (if
any) filtering, meaning that the flavours and aromas should be preserved better.
A good way to get around sediment (if it is a problem) is to stand the bottle upright, the day before opening, so
that the sediment can settle to the bottom of the bottle.
You can also decant your wine; decanting will “open up” the flavour of both young and old wines, but younger
wines in particular. To decant, pour the wine slowly and evenly into your decanter.
Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM
YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT.
o
Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto it or spraying water over it.
o
The interior of the wine cooler should be cleaned periodically, using a solution of
bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
o
Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in a dishwasher.
o
Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
o
After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have cleaned with a damp cloth
and then dry it thoroughly.
o
When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to your mains
supply.
Defrosting
o
Defrosting occurs automatically inside of the wine cooler during operation. The defrost water is collected
by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
o
The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically. This will prevent water
from collecting in the bottom of the wine cooler, instead of flowing down the defrost drainage channel
and drain hole.
o
You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole to clean inside of it.
