What is an optimal wine storage?
To store wine for a few months, the coolest place in the apartment is enough. If the maturation lasts for years, you urgently need a wine storage cabinet or even a wine cellar, because wine storage cabinets, in contrast, are usually full pretty quickly.
We recommend a wine storage cabinet for home, which acts as temporary storage. You can store the bottles that you have taken out of the wine storage because they will develop in the next twelve months to two years to maturity for consumption.
The assumption that wine matures faster in a warm environment is wrong. Rather, undesirable flavors develop in warm conditions. Especially with white wine, champagne, and the diva among the grape varieties, Pinot Noir, good storage conditions are crucial for high enjoyment. Ideal conditions are 12 to 14 degrees Celsius and a humidity of 65 to 75 percent. Our wine storage facilities offer these conditions. Here, your wines can mature under optimal conditions, so that they will still give you pleasure even after decades.
Such conditions, on the other hand, rarely prevail in the cellar of your home. For the love of wine, however, you should remember that, firstly, many of your wines can have a really long life and, secondly, they usually offer much greater enjoyment, especially in middle age, than when they are very young.
If you have questions about your wines and are not sure whether they are worth storing, please contact us without obligation. We will be happy to provide you with expert information.
