Our biding desire is to accompany your enthusiasm for wine throughout the years… To do so, EuroCave puts all of its
know-how into action to bring together the 6 essential factors in optimal wine maturing:

Temperature:

The two worst enemies of your wine are extreme temperatures and sudden fluctuations in temperature. A constant
temperature of 10° to 14°C (50 to 57°F) is considered to be ideal for your wine to reach its apogee.

Humidity :

This is an essential factor, enabling corks to retain their sealing qualities. The humidity rate must be higher than 50%
(ideally between 60 and 75 %).

Darkness:

Light, and more especially its ultra-violet component, will rapidly prove noxious to your wine by irreversible oxidation of
its tannins. For this reason we strongly advise that wines be stored in the dark, far from U.V. light.

Lack of vibration:

Vibration disturbs the slow process of your wine’s biochemical evolution, and is often fatal for the finest wines.

Air circulation:

A constant supply of fresh air prevents mould from developing in your cabinet. EuroCave cabinets benefit from a
ventilation system with breather effect, which makes it very similar to the ventilation system of a natural cellar.

Storage:

Moving bottles too often is harmful to wine preservation. Having the right type of storage, which restricts undue handling,
is essential.

We thank you for the confidence you have placed in us.
