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 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™
sand-paper.
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
Protective Finish is recommended. Follow container label for
directions.
6. Lightly sand and reapply if desired.

2. Remove screws securing wood trim to racks.
3. Apply Minwax
thetic 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 3. 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

plus shipping and handling.) Frequent cleaning will remove surface
contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations will require
cleaning on a weekly basis.
• DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS.
• DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY
INTENDED FOR STAINLESS STEEL (this includes glass, tile
and counter cleansers).
• If any surface discolors or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bon-
Ami or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser and a non-abrasive cloth. Always
clean in the direction of the grain. Always finish this process with
Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner to prevent further problems.
• USE OF ABRASIVE PADS SUCH AS SCOTCHBRITE WILL
CAUSE THE GRAINING IN THE STAINLESS TO BECOME
BLURRED.
• Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate into the surface of the
stainless steel and become impossible to remove.

CAUTION
Stainless steel models exposed to chlorine gas and moisture, such as areas with spas or swimming pools, may have
some discoloration of the stainless steel. Discoloration
from chlorine gas is normal.
