CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Wine and its requirements
Wine is the culmination of passion.
Thanks to its complexity, it develops very slowly and peacefully!
Wine requires the combination of several conditions to flourish and gradually reach its fullest potential. Therefore the following five golden rules must be observed:
- Constant temperature
- Sufficient humidity
- Dark environment
- Pure air
- No vibrations
The consistency of these conditions is vital and is the reason why wine cabinets were developed!
2. Choices available to consumers
First and foremost, a distinction must be made between ageing, preserving and serving temperatures.
- The ageing and storage temperature is 12°C irrespective of the type of wine.
- Serving temperatures on the other hand vary according to the type of wine.
3. Different types of wine cabinets
Climadiff, the wine cabinet specialist, has therefore designed different types of cabinets.
Ageing : Climatic environment developed to reproduce the conditions of real wine cellars in the most stable way to encourage optimum development of the best wines.
Multi-purpose : Single or multi-compartment environment which, thanks to a temperature gradient, provides a combination of room temperature, preserving and serving areas.
