Vibration & Light The third factor to be considered for optimum wine storage is vibration. Excessive movement or vibrations caused by noisy compressors or other sources can impede the stable development of wine. It is therefore important to have a premium, quiet compressor in your wine storage facility, while also minimizing all other external sources of possible vibration. The fourth factor is light. Placing your wine in direct sunlight or ultraviolet light will deteriorate the quality of the wine. Many wineries use bottles with colored glass to help protect the wine from these harmful elements. A Viking wine cellar with low-intensity light and ultraviolet-resistant glass will help preserve the quality of your wines. UV-resistant glass protects wine from the harmful effects of light, and the lower zone has taller maple fronts for additional UV protection. Coated racks reduce vibration and hold bottle snugly in place.
