ELCOME TO THE WORLD OF
Our principle aim is to the best of our ability to enhance your enthusiasm for wine throughout the years ...To achieve
this, EuroCave uses all its know-how to bring together the 6 criteria essential to wine maturing:
T T e e m m p p e e r r a a t t u u r r e e : :
The two worst enemies of wine are extreme temperatures and wildly fluctuating temperatures. A constant temperature
of 10 to 14°C (50 to 57°F) is considered ideal for wine to reach its peak.
H H u u m m i i d d i i t t y y : :
This is an essential factor, enabling the corks to retain their sealing characteristics. The humidity level should, ideally, be
higher than 50% (between 60 and 75%).
D D a a r r k k n n e e s s s s : :
Light, and more especially its ultra-violet content, has a rapid and harmful effect on wine through the irreversible oxidation
of the tannins. For this reason it is strongly recommended that you store your wine in the dark and away from U.V. rays.
L L a a c c k k o o f f v v i i b b r r a a t t i i o o n n : :
Vibration disturbs the slow process of biochemical evolution in wine and is often fatal to the finer 'crus'.
S S t t o o r r a a g g e e : :
Moving your wine bottles around too often is detrimental to correct wine preservation. Having appropriate storage that
cuts down on handling is essential.
N N a a t t u u r r a a l l v v e e n n t t i i l l a a t t i i o o n n : :
A constant supply of filtered air from the outside is indispensable if unpleasant smells and mould development are to be
avoided.
All of these criteria are embodied in the EuroCave Classic cabinet that you have just acquired. We thank you for the faith
you have shown in us.
