Use temperature
zones in the
refrigerator
compartment!
The air circulation in the appliance
produces different refrigeration zones:
The warmest zone is at the top.
The coldest zone is at the bottom.
Arrange drinks
Store different types of wine from top
to bottom according to the following
sequence:
S Heavy red wines
S Rosé and light red wines
S White wine
S Champagne and sparkling wines
It is recommended to serve the wine a
few degrees colder than the required
drinking temperature, as the wine warms
up quickly when poured into glasses.
Practical tips for
storing wine
S Unpack bottles of wine – do not leave
in crates or cardboard boxes – before
storing in the refrigerator
compartment.
S Place old bottles so that the cork
is always wet. There should never
be an air gap between the wine and
the cork.
S The open bottle shelves are especially
suitable because they do not interrupt
the air circulation.
As a result, the atmospheric humidity
which condenses on the bottles
quickly dries again.
S Before the wine is drunk, it should
be "warmed up" (chambré):
Place e.g. rosé wine on the table
approx. 2--5 hours before drinking,
red wine 4--5 hours before drinking.
The wine will then be at the correct
drinking temperature.
Sparkling wine and Champagne
should be cooled in the refrigerator
shortly before drinking.
S Remember that wine should always
be cooled slightly lower than the ideal
serving temperature, as its
temperature increases by 1 to 2 °C
as soon
as it is poured into a glass!
