Keeping Wine at Its Best
Storing and Serving Wine
There is a right way to store and serve wine. nd there is a
wrong way. The Sub-Zero wine storage equipment is com-
mitted to the right way. Wine enthusiasts know that wine,
optimally, likes to be stored for long periods of time in
caves that are vibration free, dark, damp and kept at a
constant 13°C. However, how many of us have these situ-
ations available?
When you think about wine, think about preserving fruit
and the fact that you must refrigerate it at the proper tem-
perature before it spoils. fter 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 environment 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 set to 13°C in both
zones—the ideal temperature for long-term storage or
aging. If, however, you want to devote only a small portion
of the unit to that feature, you can adjust the temperature
in the smaller zone to long-term storage and adjust the
other temperature 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 differ-
ently to different temperatures.
The following chart 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. nd
thank you for your trust in Sub-Zero.
