Practical tips for storing wine

▯
Unpack bottles of wine – do not leave in crates
or cardboard boxes – before storing
in the refrigerator compartment.
▯
Place old bottles so that the cork is always wet.
There should never be an air gap between
the wine and the cork.
▯
The open bottle shelves are especially suitable
because they do not interrupt the air circulation.
As a result, the atmospheric humidity which
condenses on the bottles quickly dries again.
▯
Before drinking your wine, let it stand until it
reaches room temperature: For example rosé
takes about two to five hours and red wine four
to five hours before they reach the right drinking
temperature. The wine will then be at the correct
drinking temperature. Sparkling wine and
Champagne should be cooled in the refrigerator
shortly 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!
