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 odour-free
atmosphere, offers the perfect
conditions for storing your wine.
Temperature
Wine can be stored at a temperature
between 5°C and 18°C. If you wish to
store red and white wines together,
select a temperature between 10 and
12°C. Most white wines are palatable at
this temperature. It is best to take red
wine out of the appliance about two
hours before drinking. Open the wine to
allow it to breathe and to develop its
aroma. After two hours, red wine will be
at the correct temperature for drinking.
A storage temperature of over 22°C
causes wine to mature too quickly.
Wine should not be stored below 5°C
for a long period of time as it will not
mature fully at this low temperature.
Fluctuations in temperature put wine
under stress and interrupt the maturing
process. It is therefore very important to
maintain a constant temperature.
Setting the temperature
The zones are set ex-works for the
following types of storage:
–
Upper zone:
for storing red wine (16 °C)
–
Middle zone:
for storing white wine (10 °C)
–
Lower zone:
for storing wine for a longer period of
time (11 °C)
You can adjust the zones to your
requirements, for example if you wish to
store white wine in the upper zone.
Simply set the relevant temperature
specification as follows:
^ Touch the sensor for the zone you
wish to change so that it is
highlighted in yellow.
^
Then touch the sensor for the type of
storage you wish to select (long-term,
white wine or red wine storage).
Although you can use the lower
zone for white wine if you wish, it is
not possible to select the white wine
symbol for the lower zone.
