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

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.
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.
