Your Fisher & Paykel Wine Chiller
Your Fisher & Paykel Wine Chiller
The storage of wine is important; as wine is a natural, perishable beverage the storage conditions
impact greatly on the overall taste, quality and aroma of wine. It is therefore important to store
and serve wine correctly. The Fisher & Paykel Wine Chiller provides you with all the necessary
storage requirements to ensure your wine is adequately cared for.
Temperature control is important when storing wine. Too high a temperature ages wine
prematurely and prevents it from developing to its full complexity. At temperatures above 20°C
volatile aroma and flavour compounds are lost and oxidation occurs, all contributing to aging
the wine prematurely. Too low a temperature delays maturation and can result in deposits or
suspensions in the wine. The Wine Chiller can be set between 6 and 18°C, depending on the type
of wine and length of storage required.
More important than the actual temperature of wine is the fluctuation in temperature the wine
is subjected to. Changes in temperature can ruin wine, as it causes the wine to expand and
contract in the bottle, damaging the integrity of the cork allowing oxygen to seep in. Daily and
weekly fluctuations in household temperatures will over time cause damage to your wines and
age them prematurely. The Wine Chiller provides a constant temperature storage environment
with minimal fluctuations in temperature, suited to both long and short-term storage of red and
white wine.
