wine storage
Wine is regarded as one of the most popular, and
diverse, alcoholic beverages in the world. Whether it
be a crisp white wine, or a robust red, wine requires
proper conditions to protect it from spoilage. Wine is
perishable, and when exposed to the enemies of wine,
its complex blend of avors and aromas can be severely
compromised. Read on to learn about the enemies of
wine and how Perlick’s line of Wine Reserves combat
these adverse conditions.
enemy: temperature
Temperature swings can be detrimental to ne wines, as exposure to heat can
cause wine to push the cork out of the bottle, while extreme cold paralyzes wine
and ruins its natural development and taste. A cold, dry environment can dry out
corks, allowing wine to seep out and destroying the avor of the entire bottle.
the solution? rapidcool
Perlick’s RAPIDcool™ forced-air refrigeration system circulates cool air throughout
the cabinet, providing industry-leading temperature uniformity no matter where
the wine is located in the unit. Perlick Signature Series wine reserves feature state-
of-the-art digital temperature control so that you can program the unit to the
appropriate temperatures for your specic wine.
enemy: vibration
Wine is a complex beverage. It continues to develop avors and aromas long after
you bring it home to enjoy. Wine experts suggest a vibration-free environment for
vintages because it allows the wine to slowly age – vibration speeds up the aging
process and doesn’t allow the wine to fully mature.
