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.
If wine is stored at a temperature above
22°C it will 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.
A constant temperature will be
maintained in the appliance at an
ambient room temperature of 10 to
38 °C. (This is a wider temperature
range than the climate range quoted on
the data plate).
Safety features
A thermostat prevents the temperature
in the appliance falling too low. If the
external temperature should drop
below this level, a heater element in the
appliance switches on automatically to
keep the temperature inside as
constant as possible.
Isolator plates for thermal separation
The appliance has two fixed isolator
plates which divide the cabinet into
three different temperature zones. This
enables you to store three different
types of wine at the same time, e.g. red
wine, white wine and Champagne.
The isolator strips on the inner surface
of the glass door keep the temperature
constant in the individual zones.
The following temperatures are
recommended for the different types of
wine:
Red wine: +14 °C to +18 °C
Rosé wine: +10 °C to +12 °C
White wine: +8 °C to +12 °C
Sparkling white
wines:
+7 °C to +9 °C
Champagne: +5 °C to +7 °C
