A

s the temperature rises, the wine molecules kinetic energy             

increases and this accelerates the aging process causing 

the wine to deteriorate. Consequently, storage temperatures of 

between +10°C and +12°C are recommended for storing wine 

over prolonged periods. Maintaining a constant temperature is 

most important, as fl uctuations during storage will impair the 

quality of the wine. Furthermore, the temperature at which a 

wine is consumed also plays a crucial role in how it tastes. 

Red wines should be served at a warmer temperature than 

white wines because they contain more tannins (polyphenols). 

Tannins react with oxygen more quickly at higher temperatures.

This is what happens in the process of allowing a wine to 

»breathe«, when the full aroma and taste are only achieved 

once the wine has combined with oxygen. The length of time 

for which a wine should breathe depends on its variety and 

quality.  Barolo,  Rioja,  Burgundy  and  Bordeaux  each  take  a 

diff erent  amount  of  time  to  develop.  In  general,  the  longer  a 

wine matured in the barrel, the more likely it is to need a longer 

breathing time for full enjoyment.

The ideal storage 

temperature for wine

___ The ideal storage temperature for wine is between + 10 °C and + 12 °C. It is critical that the temperature is kept 

as constant as possible because this is the only way that a wine’s natural harmony will be preserved. ___

Electronic control system. Liebherr’s highly precise electronic control systems and advanced air conditioning technologies guarantee 

appliances maintain a constant interior temperature, even in the event of major fl uctuations in the ambient temperature.

Long-term storage. With constant temperatures and a perfectly controlled climate, Liebherr’s wine storage cabinets and Vinidor models 

provide the very best conditions for wine to age without disturbance, and to develop fully during storage. 

Optimum drinking temperature. In our Vinidor wine cabinets, which off er two or three wine safes, diff erent wines can be stored 

according to their ideal serving temperature. Each wine safe can be independently programmed to between +5°C and +20°C, giving 

great storage fl exibility. 

In the multi-temperature wine cabinets in our Vinothek range, specialised climate technology is used to achieve temperature stratifi cation 

within the appliance. Lower temperatures in the bottom section are ideal for sparkling wines and champagne, whereas a temperature 

of about +18°C in the upper section is perfect for red wines. Meanwhile, the temperature in the middle section brings white wines to an 

ideal serving temperature.
