Storing red and white wine in the Wine Chiller

7

The temperature varies within the Wine Chiller, creating different wine storage zones. When storing a combination of red and white wine in the Wine Chiller, the top three shelves, the bottom shelf and the drawer should be used for red wine storage. Shelves four to eight should be used for white wine storage.

Short-term storage/serving

The Wine Chiller is perfect for short-term storage (less than one week) of wines.

The display has a “white wine” and “red wine” button, which sets the cabinet to the ideal temperature for the short-term storage of either red or white wine.

Red wine

For short-term storage of red wine it is recommended that the Wine Chiller be set at 13°C as red wine is best served slightly warmer. Serving red wines too warm (over 18°C) is undesirable, as the alcohol can leave an unpleasant taste on the palate.

ƒƒ To activate the red wine setting, simply press the button labelled “red” and the light next to the button will illuminate, indicating the chiller is set to it’s red wine setting.

ƒƒ The default of the Wine Chiller, when on it’s red wine setting is 13°C. (To display the set temperature of the red wine setting, press and hold the “white” and “red” buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds).

White wine

In comparison to red wine, white wine is best served at cooler temperatures, so for short- term storage 8°C is recommended. If white wines are stored and served at colder refrigerator temperatures, the aromas and flavours are decreased and you won’t get full enjoyment.

ƒƒ To activate the white wine setting, simply press the button labelled “white” and the light next to the button will illuminate, indicating the chiller is set to it’s white wine setting.

ƒƒ The default of the Wine Chiller, when on it’s white wine setting is 8°C. (To display the set temperature of the white wine setting, press and hold the “white” and “red” buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds).

Long-term storage of wine

In addition to short-term storage of wine, the Wine Chiller is also perfect for long-term storage of wines.

ƒƒ The ideal long-term storage (more than one week) temperature for both red and white wine is 12°C.

ƒƒ Setting the Wine Chiller at 12°C for long-term storage of wine will maintain and develop the quality of the wine to perfection.
