Wine can be stored at a temperature of
between 5 and 18 °C. The optimum
temperature is around 10 - 12 °C. Most
white wines can be consumed at this
temperature. It is best to take red wine
out of the storage unit approximately
two hours before drinking. Open the
wine to allow it to breathe and to de-
velop its aroma. After two hours red
wine will be at the correct temperature
for drinking.
If wine is stored at a temperature above
22 °C it will mature too quickly. How-
ever, wine should not be stored below
5 °C for a long period of time as it will
not mature fully at this low temperature.
Fluctuations in temperature put wine
under stress and interrupt the maturing
process. It is therefore very important to
maintain a constant temperature.
An ambient room temperature of 3 to
43 °C will ensure that a constant tem-
perature is maintainted in the wine stor-
age unit.
A thermostat prevents the temperature
in the wine storage unit falling below
2 °C. If the external temperature should
drop below this level, the heating in the
appliance switches on automatically to
keep the temperature inside as con-
stant as possible.
