Placing bottles in the refrigerator

Storage examples

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 the wine is drunk, it should be "warmed

up" (chambré): Place e.g. rosé wine on the table

approx. 2–5 hours before drinking, red wine 4–

5 hours before drinking. 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!

for the taste and therefore your enjoyment of the wine.
