Storing Your Wines
The chart below indicates the ideal storage temperatures for different types of
wine:
Type of wine
Red wine (*)
White wine (**)
Sparkling wines/
Champagne
Rose wine
Vintage wine
* Light red wines, such as Beaujolais, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc benefit
from being served slightly cooler than full-bodied reds.
** Chardonnay is often served too cold. You should chill it at a warmer
temperature inside of your Wine Cooler. Or leave it to warm slightly when
you remove it from your Wine Cooler.
o 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 properly stored, wines not only maintain
their quality but many will actually improve in aroma, flavour and complexity
as they mature.
o Wines kept at a higher temperature will age faster. Wine that is exposed to
temperatures that are greater than 21°C (70°F) will suffer from poorer
flavour and aroma.
