Important wine concepts
Your TRANSTHERM cabinet has been designed to guarantee the optimum
conditions for storing and/or serving your wine.
Wine is a highly complex product, requiring long and gentle development and
needs specific conditions in which to reach its full potential.
All wine is stored at the same temperature, only the temperatures for serving
and wine tasting can vary depending on the type of wine (see the table below).
This being the case and just like the natural cellars used by wine producers, it
is not the exact temperature that is important, but its constancy. In other words,
as long as the temperature of your cabinet is between 10 and 14° C, your wine
will be stored in perfect conditions if the temperature is not subject to any
significant fluctuation.
However, it is advisable to be especially careful concerning the values shown
on your wine cabinet's hygrometer, which, due to its location in the wine cellar
will always have tendency to display a pessimistic hygrometry level.
IRRESPECTIVE OF THE CAUSE, IF YOU NOTICE EITHER
ABNORMAL TEMPERATURE OR HYGROMETRY LEVELS INSIDE
YOUR CABINET, BE REASSURED THAT ONLY LONG EXPOSURE
TO THESE ABNORMAL CONDITIONS CAN HAVE A DETRIMENTAL
EFFECT ON YOUR WINES.
Hygrometry
You cabinet is equipped with an exclusive TRANSTHERM system enabling the
creation, inside your wine cabinet, of the correct hygrometry level required to
perfectly seal the corks in your bottles.
