Keeping Wine at Its Best 18
Storing and Serving Wine
There is a right way to store and serve wine. And there is a
wrong way. The Sub-Zero wine storage equipment is
committed to the right way. Wine enthusiasts know that
wine, optimally, likes to be stored for long periods of time
in caves that are vibration free, dark, damp and kept at a
constant 55°F (13°C). However, how many of us have
these situations available?
When you think about wine, think about preserving fruit
and the fact that you must refrigerate it at the proper
temperature before it spoils. After all, wine is the juice of
grapes in its simplest interpretation.
Wine needs to be selected and cared for properly. The
wine aficionado knows that proper storage will ensure the
wine is served at the best conditions.
You have taken the extra step to ensure that your wine is
kept in the best possible environment by purchasing your
Sub-Zero wine storage unit. Now how you use the unit is
up to you.
You can devote the entire wine storage unit to long-term
storage and have the temperature set to 55˚F (13°C) in
both zones—the ideal temperature for long-term storage
or aging. If, however, you want to devote only a small
portion of the unit to that feature, you can adjust the
temperature in the smaller zone to long-term storage and
adjust the other temperature zone to accommodate the
wine you will be enjoying soon.
The temperature in this zone can be anything you choose.
Sure, there are ideal temperatures for serving wine, but it
is very subjective, with everyone’s palate reacting differ-
ently to different temperatures.
The chart on the following page offers some universally
accepted storing and serving temperatures for the most
common wines consumed today.
Enjoy the wine and your Sub-Zero wine storage unit. And
thank you for your trust in Sub-Zero.
