Maintaining quality

Storage temperature
The optimum storage temperature varies de-
pending on the type of wine, due to the fact
that wines have different shelf lives and age
differently. A temperature setting that is too
high or too low can reduce the shelf life of
your wine. This leads to greater food waste.
Wine Storage temperature
Semi-sparkling wine +6 °C to +10 °C
Sparkling wine +10 °C
White wine +10 °C to +12 °C
Red wine +12 °C to +14 °C
Rosé wine +12 °C to +16 °C
Storing bottles
• Avoid strong and frequent variations in
temperature.
• Ensure that there is enough space be-
tween the bottles to promote the circula-
tion of air inside the appliance.
• The appliance's interior temperatures can
increase and lead to increased energy
consumption if
– the glass door is opened frequently or for
a prolonged period.
– the temperature falls below or exceeds
the prescribed interior temperature.
– a large number of bottles is put into stor-
age at once.
– the appliance's nominal capacity is ex-
ceeded.
Storage period
The storage periods of wines differs and is
dependent on many factors. Use the follow-
ing storage periods as a general guideline:
Wine
Rosé wine, light red wine 1 to 2 years
White wine
Red wine
Very sweet wines
Additional factors
• Make sure to move the wine as little as
possible during storage. Frequently moving
the wine around can lead to rapid ageing.
• Ensure that the wine is kept as far away as
possible from light and stored in the dark.
• Do not turn the LED light (4) on frequently.
Exposure to light may affect the taste of
wine.
