WINE SELECTION SUGGESTIONS
Selecting the right wine for the right occasion can
sometimes be a seemingly awkward or difficult task for
the beginning wine enthusiast. We would therefore like
to present you with a few suggestions which may provide a little more
confidence and enjoyment when choosing and serving your wines.
When selecting wines, keep an open mind and do
not be afraid to be adventurous. Do not view the
subject of wine so seriously it discourages you
from learning and discovering for fear of embarrassment if something is incorrect. Wine is best
viewed as a hobby and enjoyed.
When assembling your collection, try not to become
obsessed with “Vintages.” Although a chart can
provide itself as a useful tool, generalizations about
a specific year have led more than one collector to
disappointment. In many instances an “off year” will
provide a better value and more near term
drinking enjoyment.
The primary guideline to the subject of wine you need to follow is your
own palate. Do not be afraid to make mistakes. Experiment, discover,
®
but most of all, enjoy yourself and your new Wine Captain
3
model.

User’s Manual
SUGGESTIONS FOR MATCHING FOOD
AND WINE
Although there are no hard fast rules for matching wine to food,
some guidelines should be observed. Delicate dishes should be
accompanied by lighter more delicate wines. Full flavored foods
should be matched with fuller bodied wines.
As a general rule one should aim to ascend in flavor and quality of
wines served.
A DRY WINE Before A SWEET WINE
A WHITE WINE Before A RED WINE
A YOUNG WINE Before An OLD WINE
A LIGHT-BODIED WINE Before A FULL-BODIED WINE
Any step back in quality will be noticed. If a fine wine were to be
tasted prior to a lesser wine, many of the fine wine’s subtle qualities
may be missed.
COMMON FOOD AND WINE MATCHES
Fish, Shell Fish, Crab, Oysters
Dry White Wines, Light Sparkling or Extra
Dry Champagne

COMMON TASTING TERMS
Acidity: A critical element of wine, preserves the wine’s
freshness. In excess results in an overly tart and sour
wine.
Balance: A desired trait where tannin, fruit and acidity are in
total harmony. Wines with good balance tend to age
gracefully.
Body: The weight and presence of wine in the mouth
provided by the alcohol and tannin level. Full-bodied
wines tend to have this strong concentration.
Bouquet: The blending of a wine’s aroma within the bottle over a
period of time. Caused by volatile acidity.
Complex: A subjective term often used in tasting. A wine is said
to be complex if it offers a variety of flavors and scents
that continue to evolve as it develops.
Flabby: A wine that lacks structure, or is heavy to the taste,
lacks acidity.
Full-Bodied: Wine high in alcohol and extract, generally speaking fills
the mouth, powerful.
Lean: Generally wines that are slim, lacking of generosity or
thin.
Oaky: A desirable flavor imparted to wine if done in modera-
tion. Most wines are aged in oak barrels one to three
years, thereby receiving this toasty oak characteristic.
However, if a weak wine is left in contact too long with
an oak barrel it will tend to be overpowered with an
oaky taste.
Tannin: Tannins are extracted from the grape skins and stems
and are necessary for a well balanced red wine. Tannins
are easily identified in wine tasting as the drying
sensation over the gums. Tannins generally fade as a
wine ages.

WOOD TRIM ON WINE RACKS
!
WARNING
Your U-Line Wine Captain®Model is equipped with a natural wood
trim on the wine racks for appearance and durability. The wood
trim has been coated at the factory with a clear vinyl sealer, which
will adequately protect the wood in normal usage.
To prevent permanent damage to the inner liner of your
Wine Captain
removed from the unit for staining and/or finishing.
Allow stain/finish to dry thoroughly (at least 24 hours
per coat) in accordance with the stain/finish manufacturer’s instructions prior to re-installing the wood trim
inside the cabinet of the Wine Captain
may cause the inner liner of the unit to have a permanent odor, which is not covered by the warranty.
You have 3 options regarding the wood trim on the wine racks.
(1) You can leave as is, (2) add a final finish coat or (3) you may
stain the wood trim. The final finish coat was not applied at the factory so that the wood trim could be stained. YOU CANNOT STAIN
THE WOOD TRIM ONCE YOU APPLY THE FINAL FINISH. Review
the following guidelines when staining and or sealing the wood to
ensure proper adhesion and durability of the finish.
To add a final finish coat:
1. Remove five racks with wood trim from unit, see RACK
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.
2. Remove screws securing wood trim to racks.
3. Lightly scruff sand the molding with 280 grit 3M Tri-M-Ite sandpaper.
4. Remove sanding dust with a clean, dry cloth.
5. Apply a thin coat of a clear protective finish; the factory-applied
seal is compatible with virtually all finishes. A low odor, water
clean up, quick drying finish such as Minwax Polycrylic is recommended. Follow container label for directions.
6. Lightly sand and reapply if desired.

User’s Manual
To stain for a different wood color:
1. Remove five racks with wood trim from unit, see RACK
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.
2. Remove screws securing wood trim to racks.
3. Apply Minwax Water-Based Wood Stain to wood with a synthetic foam brush. Stain must penetrate approximately 3 minutes.
After this period, while stain is still wet, take a stain dampened
rag and remove all excess stain. Wipe in the direction of the
grain with medium pressure to achieve the desired stain color.
4. After 2 hours, repeat step three. This will even out the color of
the wood.
5. Allow stain to dry for a minimum of 3 hours before finishing.
6. If desired sand the wood with very fine sandpaper to smooth the
surface from the staining process.
7. Remove all dust from the wood. Apply one coat of Minwax Ultra
Fast-Drying Polycrylic Protective Finish with a synthetic foam
brush to the wood. This finish should be applied in a thin coat following the direction of the grain. First apply the finish to the back
and sides of the wood. Allow this to dry for two hours. Next apply
the finish to the front side of the wood and allow to dry for two
hours. Sand with very fine sandpaper (220 grit). Reapply in the
same manner 3 times total. After the third coat do not sand the
surface.
8. Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before installing the wood

racks.

BUILT-IN INSTALLATION
Your U-Line product has been designed for either free-standing or builtin installation. When built-in, your U-Line product does not require additional air space for top, sides, or rear. However, the front grille must
NOT be obstructed.
NOTE
To ease unit installation and removal, it is recommended
that the cabinet rough opening dimensions be increased by
at least 1/4" over the dimensions given for your unit.
Unit Dimensions
Model Width Height Depth*

THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE FOR WINE
Wine Captain models have a unique, triple temperature zone permitting storage of your finest wines at approximately 60°F (15°C in the top
portion of the cabinet for reds, 50-55°F (10-12°C) in the middle for
whites and 45°F (7°C) on the bottom for sparkling wines). Temperatures
noted are product temperatures and not air temperatures.
PROPER STORAGE
Model 2075WC will accommodate 48 bottles (750 ML size). Model
2015WC will accommodate 24 bottles (750 ML size). Specially
designed wine racks allow for proper horizontal storage of the wine.
The cork remains moist, which keeps air from entering the bottle.

TROUBLESHOOTING
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, read through NORMAL
OPERATION first. If the problem persists, check the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE. Locate the problem in the guide and refer to the
cause and its remedy before calling for service. The problem could
be something very simple which can be solved without a service call.
Some remedies listed in the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE are very
complex. Consulting or contracting a qualified service technician may
