Temperature and air quality Wine continues to mature 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. Type of wine Light, fruity red wines: Full-bodied red wines: Rosé wines: Delicate, aromatic white wines: Recommended drinking temperature +157°F to 60°F (4°C to +16°C) +64°F (18°C) +46°F to +50°F (8°C to 10°C) +46°F to +53°F (8°C to 12°C) Temperature Wine can be stored at a temperature between 42°F and 64°F (6°C and 18°C). If you are storing white and red wines together, select a temperature between 53°F and 57°F (12°C and 14°C). This is suitable for both red and white wines. At too high a temperature (over 71°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. Full-bodied or sweet white wines: Champagne, sparkling white wines: +46°F to +57°F (12°C to 14°C) +42°F to +50°F (6°C to 10°C) Tip: Store the wine 1 or 2° cooler than the recommended drinking temperature as it warms up a little when poured into the glass. Full-bodied reds should be opened for 2-3 hours before drinking to allow it to breathe and develop its aroma. 23
