Thermador T18IW 说明手册

■

Unpack bottles of wine – do not leave in crates 

or cardboard boxes – before storing 

in the refrigerator compartment.

■

Place old bottles so that the cork is always wet. 

There should never be an air gap between the wine 

and the cork.

■

The open bottle shelves are especially suitable 

because they do not interrupt the air circulation. As 

a result, the atmospheric humidity which condenses 

on the bottles quickly dries again.

■

Before drinking your wine, let it stand until it reaches 

room temperature: For example rosé takes about 

two to five hours and red wine four to five hours 

before they reach the right drinking temperature. 

The wine will then be at the correct drinking 

temperature. Sparkling wine and Champagne should 

be cooled in the refrigerator shortly before drinking.

■

Remember that wine should always be cooled 

slightly lower than the ideal serving temperature, as 

its temperature increases as soon as it is poured 

into a glass!

The correct serving temperature is crucial for the taste 

and therefore your enjoyment of the wine.
