The best way to store wine bottles
Always store wine bottles on their side horizontally, preferably in a
dark and adequately ventilated place with a temperature between 11 and
18°C and an air humidity between 70 and 80 %.
It is important for the temperature and air humidity to be kept constant
!
For example : it is better if your bottles are kept at a constant 19°C,
than if they are stored in a location with a temperature that varies according
to the season or air-con variation. This also applies where the temperature
variations do not exceed the maximum or minimum values given above.
Wine does not like daylight, vibrations or manipulations.
You can find wine storage unit (from 40 to 180 bottles). They combine
the very latest in technology with ease of use and convenience. These
wine storage units offer the ideal long-term storage conditions for red
and white wine as well as champagne. They regulate the temperature inside
the cabinet between 5°C and 22°C, and if the temperature drops below the
pre-set temperature, the appliance will automatically switch from cooling
to heating in order to maintain the chosen temperature and protect the
wine. But they are quite expensive.
In France wine cellars are usually located completely underground, and
often have direct contact to the surrounding soil via a gap in the foundations.
Wine cellars offer the opportunity to protect alcoholic beverages from
potentially harmful external influences, providing darkness and a constant
temperature.
Wine is a natural, perishable food product. Left exposed to heat, light,
vibration or fluctuations in temperature and humidity, all types of wine,
including red, white and sparkling can spoil. When properly stored, wines
not only maintain their quality but many actually improve in aroma, flavor,
and complexity as they mature. Wine can be stored satisfactorily between
52 and 65F, provided any variations are very gradual.
Temperature centered around 55 degrees Fahrenheit or 13°C, much like
the cool caves used to store wine in France, is ideal for both short-term
storage and long-term aging for all types of wines. Note that wine generally
matures differently and more slowly at the lower temperatures than it
does at the higher temperatures.
Residential wine cellars are significantly different than a wine cave
or other type of underground wine storage facility. A residential wine
cellar involves a multi-step build-out process to insure that the collection
of wine remains preserved over long periods of time. The construction
of a wine cellar involves answering many questions about what type of
wine cellar is desired in the home. Some of the questions to ask your
self are what types of wine bottles will the wine cellar hold and how
many? What is the purpose of the wine cellar, entertaining or secure storage
of a collection? Start with these types of general questions and this
will help your contractor or wine cellar design/build firm design a wine
cellar plan that is exactly what you want.
Some elements to think about in the preliminary stages of building your
wine cellar are wine cellar doors, wine racks, wine cellar accent pieces,
flooring, lighting and wine cooling systems. Residential wine cellars
can be either active or passively cooled. Actively cooled wine cellars
are highly insulated and need to be properly constructed. These types
of wine cellars utilize specific wine cellar conditioning and cooling
systems to maintain the desired temperature and humidity. Many systems
only control the temperature and not the humidity so it is important to
look for a system that actively controls both with temperature and humidification
integrated into the unit.
Passively cooled wine cellars take advantage of naturally cool and damp
areas (such as basements with uninsulated outside walls in cool/temperate
climates) when minor seasonal and diurnal temperature variations can be
tolerated.
