USING THE WINE SERVICE CABINET AND SELECTION OF THE
TEMPERATURE:
Your wine service cabinet will allow you to conserve your wine optimally before tasting it. Whether you want
to have a bottle from your own cellar to hand in your kitchen, or to store bottles bought from your wine store
for a few weeks, the KRUPS wine service cabinet will store your wine in ideal conditions.
Selecting the temperature.
Several choices of temperature are possible, depending on the wines and the number of different wines that
you place in your wine cabinet.
You want to store different types of wine in your service cabinet?
As when maturing wine in a cellar, you can store different types of wine in your service cabinet. A temperatu-
re of 12°C – the same as that for maturing will allow you to conserve your wines without harming them.
You want to store a single type of wine I your service cabinet?
Here are the ideal temperatures for each type of wine:
Choosing the right temperature:
8°C Traditional Champagnes, with a fresh acidic taste.
Dry, crispy and fresh white wines (Muscadet, Gros plant...)
9°C Rosé wines
10°C Mellow and sweet white wines (Sauternes, Jurançon, Vendanges Tardive...)
11°C Vintage Champagnes
12°C Mature white wines, generous and good mineral flavours (Meursault, Châteauneuf du Pape,
Savennières...)
