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 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.

Type of wine Recommended

drinking

temperature

Light, fruity red

wines:

+57°F to +61°F

(14°C to 16°C)

+43°F to +50°F

(6°C to 10°C)

Tip: Store the wine 3°F to 5°F (1°C to

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.
