Wine Cellar

The often common mentioned words, Wine Cellar refers to a storage area for wines, as well as the wines stored there.

Traditionally, a wine cellar was underground because such a location keeps the wines at the proper temperature. But these aren’t practical in the cities we stay today.

Subterranean cellars certainly aren’t a requirement today with the advent of temperature-controlled units that can be placed anywhere. Ideally, a wine cellar should be dry (but not overly, since a modicum of moisture helps keep the corks from drying out), well ventilated, vibration free, and cool. The ideal temperature is 10° to 15°C, but a reasonably consistent temperature between 12° and 15°C is acceptable.

What’s important is that the temperature remain constant-if it changes, the change shouldn’t be drastic. Although wines age faster in warmer temperatures like in your storeroom, they shouldn’t be damaged unless the temperature is excessively hot.

Bottles should be stored on their sides so that the wine is in contact with the cork to keep it moist and airtight. A cork that shrinks can expose the wine to oxygen (see Oxidized), which can ruin a wine and your mood when discovered years down the road.

地下酒窖,當然不是一個要求,今天的來臨,溫度控制的單位,可以放在任何地方。理想的是,酒窖,應該幹(但並不過分,因為一點點的水分有助於保持corks 從乾燥) ,通風良好,振動免費,自由,和冷靜。理想的溫度是10 °至15 ° C時,但一個合理的一致的溫度之間的12 °和15 ° C時是可以接受的。

什麼是最重要的是,溫度保持恆定,如果它的變化,改變不應該大刀闊斧。雖然葡萄酒的年齡以更快的速度,氣溫一樣,在您的倉庫,他們不應該受到損害,除非是溫度過高的熱點。

瓶應存放在其兩岸,使該葡萄酒是在與科克以保持其濕潤和密不透風。一科克認為,萎縮,可以揭露葡萄酒氧(見氧化) ,它可以破壞葡萄酒和你的心情時,發現年下降的道路。
