10 Storage / Maintenance

Proper Storage

The wine keeper can accommodate more than 160
bottles (typical 750 ml size). There are thirteen (13)
upper racks that will hold ten (10) bottles each and
one lower display rack that will hold six (6) bottles.
Specially designed wine racks allow for proper
horizontal storage of the wine. The cork remains moist
which keeps air from entering the bottle.
Optional shelf kits may be purchased if you prefer to
have sliding shelves extend all the way to the bottom
of the cabinet.
Order kit # 5304469473 for 2 full size shelves.
Order kit # 5304469474 for 2 short shelves. (fits in the
two lowest positions in cabinet)
Your wine keeper can be set to maintain temperature
between 45 and 65º F. Although the storage and
serving temperature is a personal preference, the
general recommended temperature for chilling various
wines are listed in the chart below.

Display Rack

The bottom rack in your wine keeper is designed for
storage as well as for display purposes. The unit holds
six (6) bottles in the display rack.

Stocking Recommendations

The wine racks allow for the proper horizontal storage
of wine. The bottles are properly positioned so that the
wine remains in contact with the cork to assure that
the cork does not become dry. White and sparkling
wines should be maintained on the top to middle racks
and red wine on the bottom racks.
Your wine keeper should be stocked beginning with
the bottom display rack at the back and working
forward staggering the bottles.
Subsequent racks should be stocked similarly, starting
with the back of each rack.
