Optimum temperature and air quality

Humidity

In a conventional refrigerator, the humidity levels are too low for storing wines. High humidity levels (60 - 70 %) are very important for the storage of wine, so that the corks remain moist. Under low humidity, the corks dry out from the outside and can no longer seal the bottles properly. This is why wine bottles should always be stored lying down, so that the wine can keep the corks moistened from within. If air enters the bottle, a wine will inevitably spoil.

Tip: Wine bottles should stand upright for at least two hours before serving, or, better still whole day long, to enable sediment to settle to the bottom of the bottle.

Setting the humidity level

The unit comes factory pre-set to high humidity.

If you would like to use the wine unit for long-term storage, it is recommended that you select the higher humidity. The interior climate will then correspond with the conditions in a wine cellar.

Humidity is raised or lowered for all temperature zones simultaneously.
