KEEPING WINE AT ITS BEST
STORING AND SERVING WINE
There is a right way to store and serve wine.
And there is a wrong way. The Sub-Zero Wine
S
torage equipment is committed to the right
way. Wine enthusiasts know that wine, opti-
mally, likes to be stored for long periods of
t
ime in caves that are vibration free, dark,
damp and kept at a constant 55˚F (13˚C).
However, how many of us have these situa-
tions available?
When you think about wine, think about
preserving fruit and the fact that you must
refrigerate it at the proper temperature before
it spoils. After all, wine is the juice of grapes in
its simplest interpretation.
Wine needs to be selected and cared for
properly. The wine aficionado knows that
proper storage will ensure the wine is served
at the best conditions.
You have taken the extra step to ensure that
your wine is kept in the best possible environ-
ment by purchasing your Sub-Zero Wine
Storage unit. Now how you use the unit is up
to you.
You can devote the entire Wine Storage unit to
long-term storage and have the temperature
s
et to 55˚F (13˚C) in both zones—the ideal
temperature for long-term storage or aging.
If, however, you want to devote only a small
p
ortion of the unit to that feature, you can
adjust the temperature in the smaller zone to
long-term storage and adjust the other temper-
ature zone to accommodate the wine you will
be enjoying soon.
The temperature in this zone can be anything
you choose. Sure, there are ideal temperatures
for serving wine, but it is very subjective, with
everyone’s palate reacting differently to differ-
ent temperatures.
The chart on the following page offers some
universally accepted storing and serving
temperatures for the most common wines
consumed today.
Enjoy the wine and your Sub-Zero Wine
Storage unit. And thank you for your trust in
Sub-Zero.
