U-Line Wine Guide
Looking Behind the Label
To most, wine is a delicious mystery. We purchase it, uncork it, and
savor its taste and beauty. But there is so much more to true wine
appreciation. Many secrets are simply too good to keep bottled up.
Matching Food and Wine
Although there are no hard fast rules for matching wine to food,
observe some guidelines. 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.
Wine Selections 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 be a useful tool, generalizations
about a specific year have led more than one collector to
disappointment. Often an “Off Year” will provide a better value and
more drinking enjoyment.
The primary guideline to the subject of wine is your own palate. Do
not be afraid to make mistakes. Experiment, discover, but most of all,
enjoy yourself and your new U-Line product.

A Toast to Wine Truths
Like the grapes themselves, many wine myths have been cultivated
over the centuries.
Myth 1: Most wines taste better when aged.
Tru th : In fact, less than 5% of wines produced today are meant to be
aged. Most wines are crafted to be consumed within the first one to
two years.
Myth 2: Wines should be uncorked and decanted allowing them to
“breathe.”
Tru th : To breathe or not breathe? While it is better to allow a young
tannic Red to breathe in a glass or decanter to soften the tannins, an
old Red reaches a stage in its life where it should be enjoyed soon
after opening. Allow an old Red to breathe for a short time to
dissipate any off odors. Most white wines can be served, ideally, 1015 minutes after opening.
Myth 3: When age worthy wines peak, they must be consumed
almost immediately.
Tru th : Most great wines reach a plateau period rather than a peak.
Great Bordeaux’s may have as much as a 10-year plateau before
fading.
Myth 4: Wine color does not change with aging.
Tru th : As red wines age they get lighter in color while whites get
darker.

The Cork: A Mystery on Its Own
Cork Presentation. The ritual of the presentation of the cork has a
rich and fascinating history dating back to the late 1800’s. A
phylloxera (root louse) devastation to the vineyards severely limited
the supply of great wines. Restaurateurs would remove labels on
inferior wines and replace them with labels from superior wines. This
made it necessary for patrons to protect themselves by checking the
branding on the cork to ensure that what they ordered was, in fact,
what they were served.
When presented with a cork today, feel it to check for its integrity,
read and match the branding on the cork to the bottle and set it
aside. There is little to be learned from the cork. The proof is in the
wine.
“Corked” wines. If you’ve ever had a wine that smelled or tasted of
mold, you’ve experienced a wine that may have been “corked.” Today,
between five and eight percent of wines are tainted with
Trichloroanisole (TCA). This substance, found naturally in plants and
trees, is imparted to the wine through the cork. Corked wines are a
major concern for winemakers as it destroys millions of cases per
year and puts reputations at stake. Amazing as it may seem twist-off
caps may offer a better alternative and many great wineries in
California, Australia and New Zealand are pioneering the trend.
Common Tasting Terms
Te r m i n o l o g yDescription
AcidityA critical element of wine that is responsible for
preserving the wines freshness. Excess acidity
results in an overly tart and sour wine.
BalanceA desired trait where tannin, fruit and acidity are
in total harmony. Wines with good balance tend
to age gracefully.
BodyThe weight and presence of wine in the mouth
provided by the alcohol and tannin level. Fullbodied wines tend to have this strong
concentration.
BouquetThe blending of a wine’s aroma within the bottle
over a period of time, caused by volatile acidity.
ComplexA 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.
FlabbyA wine that lacks structure, or is heavy to the
taste, lacks acidity.
Full-BodiedWine high in alcohol and extract, generally
speaking, fills the mouth, powerful.
LeanGenerally describes wines that are slim, lacking of
generosity or thin.
OakyA desirable flavor imparted to wine if done in
moderation. 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.
TanninTannins 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.
Ideal Wine Storage Considerations
Temperature: The most important element about storage
temperature is stability. If wine is kept in a stable environment
between 40°F (7°C) and 65°F (21°C), it will remain sound. A small 12 degree temperature fluctuation within a stable environment is
acceptable. Larger temperature fluctuations can affect the corks
ability to seal, allowing the wine to “leak” from the bottle.
Humidity: The traditional view on humidity maintains that wines
should be stored on their sides in 50% - 80% relative humidity to
ensure cork moisture and proper fit in the bottle. Contemporary
wisdom suggests that the cork surface is too small to be impacted by
humidity. Further the cork is sealed with a metal or wax capsule
making humidity penetration impossible. The concept of a humid
storage environment was derived from the necessity of wineries to
maintain moisture in their cellars to keep wooden barrel staves
swollen, preventing wine evaporation and product loss. In fact,
vineyards estimate as much as a 10% product loss per year due to
evaporation while wine is aging in the wooden barrels. Humidity,
however, was not intended for the modern home cellar where wine
is stored in glass bottles with sealed corks.
Light: UV rays are not only harmful to people, they are damaging to
wines - especially those in clear bottles. Since oxygen molecules in
wine absorb UV rays, wine should never be stored in direct light for
long periods of time.
Vibration: Provided that sediment is left undistributed and particles
are not suspended, vibration in a storage environment is not an issue.
Wines can become flat or tired when voids and vacuums are created
inside the wine bottle. In order to create voids and vacuums within a
liquid, aggressive motion or shaking of the wine bottle would have to
occur.

Cleaning
Exterior Cleaning
• Stainless door panels, and handles can discolor when exposed to
chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or cleaners with bleach.
• Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a good
quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner polish monthly. For best
results use Claire® Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner, which can
be purchased from U-Line Corporation (Part Number 173348).
Comparable products are acceptable. Frequent cleaning will
remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some
installations may require cleaning weekly.
• Do not clean with steel wool pads.
• Do not use stainless steel cleaners or polishes on any
glass surfaces.
• Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.
• Do not use cleaners not specifically intended for stainless
steel on stainless surfaces (this includes glass, tile and
counter cleaners).
• If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it quickly with
Bon-Ami® or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser® and a nonabrasive
cloth. Always clean with the grain. Always finish with Claire
Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable product to
prevent further problems.
• Using abrasive pads such as ScotchBrite™ will cause the
graining in the stainless to become blurred.
• Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the surface
of the stainless steel and complete removal of the rust
may not be possible.
Interior Cleaning
• Disconnect electric current to the unit.
• Clean the interior and all removed components using a mild
nonabrasive detergent and warm water solution applied with a
soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.
