K E E P I N G WINE AT ITS BEST

STORING A N D SERVING W I N E

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, opti- mally, 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 situa- tions 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 environ- ment 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 temper- ature 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 differently to differ- ent 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.

WINE STORAGE specifications

Sub-Zero wine storage units have become synonymous with excellence in preserving and showcasing fine wines. Their commitment to quality is evident in the design and technology of their wine storage solutions, making them a preferred choice for both amateur wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike. One of the main features of Sub-Zero wine storage is its precise temperature control. Wines are best preserved at specific temperatures, and Sub-Zero units maintain a consistent environment, typically between 45 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. This precision prevents the wine from aging too quickly or developing undesirable flavors.

Another standout characteristic is the humidity control system. These units maintain an optimal humidity level of around 50-70%, crucial for keeping corks moist. This prevents corks from drying out, which can lead to oxidation and spoil the wine. The insulation in Sub-Zero wine cabinets is also superior, with dual-pane glass doors that prevent UV light from affecting the wine while providing an elegant display space.

The vibration-free design is another key technical advancement. Wine is sensitive to movement, which can disturb sediment and disrupt the aging process. Sub-Zero employs a specialized compressor system designed to minimize vibrations, ensuring that wines mature gracefully over time.

Sub-Zero wine storage units also feature customizable shelving options made from solid beechwood, designed to cradle bottles securely while allowing for easy access. Many models are equipped with adjustable wine racks to accommodate various bottle sizes, from standard Bordeaux to larger formats like magnums.

In addition, a sophisticated active cooling system allows for consistent temperatures without the use of compressors that generate excessive heat. This technology combines efficiency with a passive cooling system to provide gentle, even cooling.

Finally, Sub-Zero wine storage solutions are designed with aesthetics in mind. The sleek, modern look of these units fits seamlessly into any home decor while enhancing the beauty of the displayed bottles. With a combination of high-performance technology and luxurious design, Sub-Zero wine storage units provide an unparalleled environment for storing precious bottles, ensuring that wine enthusiasts can enjoy their collections in optimal condition for years to come.
