Tips for storing wine

▯ Unpack wine bottles – do not store in crates or

cartons in the wine storage compartment.

▯ If bottles with natural corks are stored for longer than

4 weeks, the natural corks may shrink if the humidity is too low. To prevent this from happening, store old wine bottles in such a way that the cork is kept wet and increase the humidity.

~ "Humidity" on page 12

▯ The open bottle shelves allow continuous air

circulation. As a result, excess humidity is quickly removed.

▯ Before the wine is enjoyed, it should be slowly

warmed up (chambré): take e.g. rosé wine out of the appliance approx. 2–5 hours before drinking, and red wine 4–5 hours before drinking. This will ensure that the wine is at the correct drinking temperature. White wine, on the other hand, should be placed on the table just before drinking. Sparkling wine and champagne should be chilled in the refrigerator for a short while before drinking.

▯ Remember that wine should always be cooled slightly

lower than the ideal serving temperature, as its temperature increases as soon as it is poured into a glass.

Drinking temperatures

The correct serving temperature is crucial for the taste and therefore your enjoyment of the wine.

We recommend the following drinking temperatures for serving the wine:

Type of wine Drinking tempera-

ture

Full-bodied red Bordeaux 65 °F (18 °C) Côtes du Rhône red, Barolo 64 °F (17 °C) Full-bodied red Burgundy, red

Bordeaux Port 59 °F (15 °C) Young red Burgundy 57 °F (14 °C) Young red wines 54 °F (12 °C) Young Beaujolais, all white

wines with little residual sugar Old white wines, full-bodied

Chardonnay Sherry 49 °F (9 °C) Young white wines, from late

vintage onward White wines, Loire, Entre-deux-

Mers

61 °F (16 °C)

52 °F (11 °C)

50 °F (10 °C)

46 °F (8 °C)

45 °F (7 °C)
