* Light red wines, such as Beaujolais, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc benet

from being served slightly cooler than full-bodied reds.

** Chardonnay is often served too cold. You should chill it at a warmer

temperature inside of your Wine Cooler. Or leave it to warm slightly when

you remove it from your Wine Cooler.

o Temperature stability is the most important factor when it comes to

storing wine.

o Exposure to light, vibrations or uctuations in temperature and humidity

can all cause wine to spoil. When properly stored, wines not only

maintain their quality but many will actually improve in aroma, flavour

and complexity as they mature.

o Wines kept at a higher temperature will age faster. Wine that is exposed

to temperatures that are greater than 21°C (70°F) will suffer from poorer

avour and aroma.

o If wine is kept at too low a temperature, this can result in the

development of harmful deposits. A humidity of 70% is ideal for keeping
