SMALL WINE RACK
A small wine rack in the living room or kitchen creates a sophisticated atmosphere. Insert shelves and wine boxes are decorative and fitting supplements for storage in the bottle rack. These allow you to always have your favourite wine ready for an evening with your guests. Temperature and light exposure means that wine should only be stored here for short periods.
The perfect storage temperature for different types of wine varies but should generally be between 10°C and 15°C. Too much warmth, but also severe temperature changes will negatively impact the quality of wine. However, normal temperature variations between day and night should be kept to a minimum if possible. Seasonal temperature fluctuations do not pose much of a problem for your wine collection.
We have all heard it before: good things come to those who wait. A good wine, however, will not necessarily get better with age. Not all wine is suitable for longer storage. How long a wine should be stored depends on the type, and is particularly dependant on the sugar, acid, and alcohol content. In general: the higher the acidity and sugar content, the longer it can be stored. Alcohol content also has a positive effect on the longevity of your wine thanks to its preserving effects. These days, the majority of wine is ready to drink as soon as it is purchased. This wine is less suitable for storage and should be drunk within a few years.
The perfect storage time for many types of wine from the Alsace region, Germany or Italy is about 1 to 2 years. Chianti, Merlot, Passito and other wines reach their peak after about 3-5 years. Only selected premium red wines may need 5-10 years until they reach their optimum flavour.
Cellars have proved to be the best place to store wines over the centuries. The bottles are protected against sunlight, vibration and odors in such an environment. Storing wine alongside cans or preserves isn't a problem but it is best to separate wine from strong odorous household items like cleaners and some foodstuffs (and indeed cooking smells).
Another plus for wine storage in the cellar is humidity. A relative humidity over 50% will prevent corks drying out and shrinking. And if you want to be particularly careful with your wine storage, installing a thermometer and hygrometer (measures humidity) may be a good idea. An air conditioning unit will ensure the necessary humidity if you don't have the right kind of cellar at your disposal.
Until a few years ago, the consensus was that all wine should be stored lying down. But wines have different temperaments and this very generalized statement has been thoroughly debunked. Bottles with natural cork that will be stored for more than 1-2 years should be stored horizontally. This way the wine in the bottle continuously keeps the cork wet and prevents it from drying out and shrinking. Bottles with natural cork and a storage time of under 1-2 years as well as bottles with artificial cork or screw tops can be stored upright in a bottle rack without any problem and can even be used as decorative items for your living area.
During the storage and maturing period of the wine, a fine deposit forms at the bottom of the bottle. To ensure that this is not stirred up, your bottles should not be shaken and should be stored to make sure they aren't moved, e.g. in a wine rack. Regular vibrations causes long-term damage to the wine maturation process. For this reason, wine bottles should be stored away from heating boilers, pumps, washing machines, and other potential influencing factors.
