Loading the wine cooler
IMPORTANT: Your appliance is ideally suited to store 0.75 liter Bordeaux style wine bottles. Whilst it can
store larger bottles, you must make sure that they do not prevent the door from shutting properly.
o
Always check that you can close the door without it fouling on a wine bottle, before shutting it.
o
When loading several bottles of wine at once, it will take longer for the appliance to cool the individual bottles.
o
As many bottles may differ in size and dimensions, the actual number of bottles you are able to store may vary.
o
The maximum storage number is based on standard 0.75 liter Bordeaux style wine bottles.
Storing your wines
The chart below indicates the ideal storage temperatures for different types of wine:
The Wine Cooler is recommended to be designed at 12℃.
Type of wine
Red wine
White wine
Sparkling wines/champagne
Note: Setting the temperature too high can cause the wine to spoil, and setting the temperature too low can waste
electricity.
Temperature stability is the most important factor when it comes to storing wine.
o
Exposure to light, vibrations or fluctuations in temperature and humidity can all cause wine to spoil. When
o
properly stored, wines not only maintain their quality but many will actually improve in aroma, flavor and complexity
as they mature.
Wines kept at a higher temperature will age faster. Wine that is exposed to temperatures that are greater than
o
18°C (64°F) will suffer from poorer flavor and aroma.
If wine is kept at too low a temperature, this can result in the development of harmful deposits. A humidity of
o
60%~70% is ideal for keeping corks from shrinking.
After a bottle of wine has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air. So it is best to store the remainder
o
of the bottle upright, to minimize the surface area of the wine that is coming into contact with the air.
Once opened, wine will remain in a drinkable condition for two days for delicate whites or three days for rich
o
reds, as long as the bottle as been resealed. You should make sure that the seal is firm by checking the stopper.
Special stoppers that keep wine sparking and Champagne bubbling for one or two days after opening, can be
o
bought at most good wine shops.
When stored correctly, white wines can keep well for up to two years. Full bodied reds will age well for ten years
o
and dessert wines will age well for up to twenty years.
