Storing Wine Bottles - Miele KWT 1601 Vi Operating And Installation Instructions

Storing wine bottles

Storage tips
– Always remove wine bottles from
their box or packaging before you lay
them down.
– Always place the bottles in a
horizontal position so that the corks
can be kept moist on the inside and
air is prevented from getting into the
bottles.
– As far as possible, store bottles of
the same type of wine beside each
other on the same shelf. Removing a
bottle of one type will then leave the
other types undisturbed and will
avoid the need to move different
bottles around.
– Red wines and rosés should be
opened and stood upright for at least
two hours before serving in order to
reach their ideal drinking
temperature.
Champagne and sparkling wines
should be cooled in the refrigerator
for a while before serving.
– Just before serving, the wine should
be slightly cooler than its ideal
drinking temperature as it becomes 1
to 2 °C warmer as soon as it is
poured into a glass.
