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 corks may shrink if the humidity is too
low.
To prevent this from happening, store old wine
bottles so that the cork is kept damp and increase
the humidity level.
~ "Humidity" on page 11
■ The open bottle shelves allow continuous air
circulation. As a result, excess humidity is quickly
removed.
■ Before drinking wine, it should be warmed up slowly
(chambré). Take e.g. rosé out of the appliance
approx. 2–5 hours before drinking and red wine 4–5
hours beforehand. This will ensure that the wine is at
the correct drinking temperature. White wine on the
other hand should be served 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.
