Storing wine Wine storage tips Natural wine cellars are the ideal place to store wine, because of the scarce light, the lack of vibrations and having a special climate. A wine’s temperature determines its flavour, and influences enjoyment. Wine ageing depends on the environment conditions in which the wine is stored. By maintaining constant optimum temperature, correct air humidity, and an atmosphere free from any odours, the wine climate cabinet provides excellent conditions for storing your wine.
Storing wine Storing bottles • Moving the bottles or excessive vibration can have a negative effect on the aging process and thus on the wine’s flavour. The appliance is fitted with a special sensor that continuously measures vibration. In case of excessive vibration, e.g. when the appliance door is slammed shut, an alarm signal will sound and alarm key will flash on the display. • Keep the bottles intended for daily use on the front half of the shelves.
