INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Fisher & Paykel Wine Cabinet to store your treasured
wine, you've made a great choice.
Having purchased our dual-zone cabinet you can rest assured that your red and
white wines are well cared for, over short term and long term periods.
Wine generally matures at a steady temperature between 11°C to 13°C, and for ready
to drink wines they are best served at their ideal drinking temperatures (see 'Storing
your wine' section). Temperature control is critical for the maturation of wines, as
significant daily or weekly temperature fluctuations can denature wines. If storage
temperatures are excessively high this can reduce the wine's aromatic potential and
can speed up maturation. This can cause some wines to take on a 'spoiled fruit'
flavouring. If storage temperatures are excessively low, this can have the opposite
effect and stunt a wine's natural maturation process. This can prevent a wine's flavour
from developing to full potential.
Optimum humidity levels are also important for the storage of cork-enclosed wines,
especially for long term storage. Dry surroundings can lead to dried out corks
encouraging wine evaporation, as well as oxygen permeation leading to oxidised
wine. As for extremely humid conditions, there is a potential of damaging wine labels
and the growth of mould on bottles.
Light is known to be damaging to wines, particularly UV light as it creates hydrogen
sulphide compounds in wine affecting the tannins and colour. Therefore our
Wine Cabinets are designed to eliminate this threat by incorporating a double
UV-tempered glass door, dark interiors and dimmed LED lighting.
Other golden rules of excellent wine storage that your Wine Cabinet offers are
frequent air circulation, condensation eliminator and minimal vibrations with the low
noise compressor.
