[. . . ] Light wines can instead be kept for up to two years, while some full-bodied red wines can keep for ten years and raisin wines even twenty years. When you buy a bottle of wine put it in the cellar or another suitable place immediately. Three factors are vital in the process which starts from the cultivation of the grape, through to ripening, harvesting and wine making: light, air humidity and room temperature. If the taste of the wine is to reach full maturity while maintaining the wine’s aroma, it must be stored perfectly by the interaction of these three factors. Storage space Not everyone has an underground storage space which can be used as a cellar. Just recently technology has managed to supply a valid substitute for the classic wine cellar. The Wine Cellar which you have purchased is a special appliance designed to contain and store wines correctly. In fact it should not be used to store fruit, vegetables and tins but only your favourite bottles of wine. So, without having a cellar area, every type of wine can be correctly stored, matured and enjoyed. Storage rules A vital rule for keeping your favourite bottles is that they should be placed on their sides or inclined so that the wine bathes the cork. Many people think that this causes the well-known “cork” smell. If there are only a few bottles If there are not enough bottles to fill the wine cellar they should be distributed between all the available shelves, avoiding loading them all at the top or all at the bottom. So that they can be more easily seen from outside, they should be placed centrally on all the shelves. 7 Storing the bottles Other configurations for storing bottles STANDARD 36 Bottles (100% on their sides) 5 racks used STORAGE 44 Bottles (100% on their sides) 1 rack used SERVICE 42 Bottles (50% on their sides and 50% upright) 3 racks used } 4 rows (6x4) MAXIMUM STORAGE 46 Bottles (48% on their sides and 52% upright) 1 rack used 4 rows (6x4) { STORING CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES Never take out more than one sliding shelf at once. 8 Table of the best serving temperatures for wines The table gives the indicative temperatures at which the wine should be served. If the wine must be served at a higher temperature than that set inside the cellar, it should be left out for as long as is necessary.
