Practical tips for storing wine

■Unpack bottles of wine – do not leave in crates or cardboard boxes – before storing

in the refrigerator compartment.

■Place old bottles so that the cork is always wet. There should never be an air gap between the wine and the cork.

■The open bottle shelves are especially suitable because they do not interrupt the air circulation. As a result, the atmospheric humidity which condenses on the bottles quickly dries again.

■Before drinking your wine, let it stand until it reaches room temperature: For example rosé takes about two to five hours and red wine four to five hours before they reach the right drinking temperature. The wine will then be at the correct drinking temperature. Sparkling wine and Champagne should be cooled in the refrigerator shortly before drinking.

■Remember that wine should always be cooled slightly lower than the ideal serving temperature, as its temperature increases as soon as it is poured into a glass!
