USAGE & STORAGE TIPS
•
Only pull out one shelf at a time. Never attempt to pull more than
one.
•
Disperse the bottles evenly to avoid concentrating weight in one
place. Bottles must not touch the back of the cabinet.
•
You can increase your wine fridge's storage capacity by removing
shelves and stacking bottles on top of one another. Do not stack more
than 3 rows of bottles per shelf.
•
The ideal temperature for long-term or short-term wine storage is
around 55°F (13°C), but this can vary from wine to wine. Wine should
never be kept below 25°F (-4°C), which can cause wine to freeze, or
above 68°F (20°C), which can accelerate the aging process and destroy
volatile compounds.
•
Keep your wine in the dark as much as possible. UV rays from direct
sunlight can damage wine's flavors and aromas. You should also keep
wines away from sources of vibration, they can disturb sediments in
the bottle, disrupting the delicate process that causes wines to age
favorably.
•
At lower humidity levels, your corks can dry out, leaving the wine
vulnerable to the effects of oxygen, while higher humidity can cause
labels to peel off the bottles, making them difficult to display or sell.
In general, your wine cellar humidity should be between 60 and 68
percent.
•
The key to extending the shelf life of an open wine and retain its
original qualities is to recork it promptly and tightly. To recork wine,
place some wax paper around the cork and slide it back into its
original position. The wax will ease the cork into the top and also
ensure that no stray parts of the cork drop into the bottle. If recorking
isn't an option, a rubber wine stopper or a wine vacuum pump can
create an airtight seal.
