Stored too cold, the aroma and flavor of the wine will be diminished. Stored too warm, the flavor of the wine can become too harsh, flat in flavor, or taste too strongly alcoholic. Because it is carefully limited to a temperature range that will preserve and enhance wines, any setting of the CuisinartTM Private ReserveTM Wine Cellar is appropriate for storing most wines. The only exceptions are: ­ Champagne is best stored at presets 6, 7 or 8 ­ Red wine is best stored at presets 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 STORAGE TEMPERATURE CHART PRESET WINE TYPE · Red · Light red · Red · Light red · Red · Light red · Red · Light red · Red · Light red · White · Fruit/dessert wine · White · Fruit/dessert wine · White · Fruit/dessert wine · White · Fruit/dessert wine · White · Fruit/dessert wine 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 · Light red · White · Champagne/sparkling wine · Fruit/dessert wine · Light red · White · Champagne/sparkling wine · Fruit/dessert wine · Light red · White · Champagne/sparkling wine · Fruit/dessert wine 5 INTERIOR LIGHT CONTROL The interior display light option allows you to showcase your personal collection of wines.

When you find a comfortably priced wine, purchase in quantity to have on hand as your "house wine. " Keep it chilled in your CuisinartTM Private ReserveTM Wine Cellar and be ready for any occasion. Pairing wine with food has really become a matter of personal taste ­ the rules are no longer hard and fast that white wine is paired with fish or light meats only and red wine is paired only with red meats. A Pinot Noir can complement a grilled fish just as well as it complements a grilled fillet of beef. What needs to be kept in mind is the "personality" of the wine itself, the preparation of the foods, and the tastes of those who will be enjoying them. You may want to open a bottle each of red and white and allow your guests to choose.
