The six storage criteria for good wine ageing

A wine can become damaged with the effects of light or heat, so care must be taken to store under the best conditions.

In order to achieve that, a wine cabinet must be able to recreate the ideal conditions of a natural wine cellar, but inside your home!

The 6 criteria

A stable temperature

Heat and temperature changes can affect the quality of a wine and how quickly it ages. Ideally, wines should be stored at between 10°C and 14°C / 50°F and 57°F.

The right humidity

Too much or too little humidity can damage a wine’s cork and cause oxidation.

An anti-vibration system

Vibrations can damage a wine’s evolution, because they prevent tannin deposits.

pictogramme aération cave à vin

Constant ventilation

Poor air circulation in a cellar can damage corks and cause the development of unpleasant odours.

Preventing light strike

Too much exposure to light can cause noticeable damage to wines, leaving them with what is known as “light strike”, a fault that creates unpleasant cauliflower aromas.

Plenty of storage space

Bottles come in a variety of shapes and sizes, your wine collection naturally evolves over time.

A stable temperature

Any product that results from the fermentation of grapes, including wine, must be stored at between 10°C and 14°C / 50°F and 57°F.

ArteVino Advantage

Our cabinets have reinforced insulation, so their temperature is constant.

The right humidity

The humidity in a cellar must be kept between 65% and 80%.

ArteVino Advantage

Aluminium inside walls to limit condensation.

An anti-vibration system

If bottles are to age properly, they must not be subjected to vibrations.

ArteVino Advantage

A compressor mounted on a silent block, which is separate from the cabinet body.

Constant ventilation

Wine breathes through its cork stopper. It therefore tends to absorb any surrounding odours.

ArteVino Advantage

A thermodynamic pump to promote air circulation.

Preventing light strike

A good wine cabinet must protect your bottles from any direct or indirect light.

ArteVino Advantage

Glazed doors with anti-UV double glazing

Plenty of storage space

The interior layout of the cabinet is surely the sixth essential criterion for good wine storage.

ArteVino Advantage

Sturdy storage areas on raw wood shelves and a steel body, shelves with imprints to accommodate all bottle sizes.
