SWISSCAVE Storage Guide

Wine lovers are always surprised by how cool, not cool, cold or even hot the wine is when it comes out of the wine cooler cabinet. What temperature do I actually have in the wine cellar and what temperature is the wine itself? The one on the cabinet display?

Like many other food and drink items, in certain conditions wine can create extraneous odors. Sure, wine is largely protected from this through a glass bottle and cork. However, there are situations in which undesired smells can contaminate wine. Thus wine should not be stored next to fuel oil or other chemicals which affects its nuances and its taste.

Wine is more than just a drink – it is culture, an investment, and for many of our customers a very personal treasure. To ensure that every bottle develops its full potential, proper storage is essential. This is where SWISSCAVE comes in: our wine coolers combine Swiss precision, timeless design, and state-of-the-art technology to protect your wines in the best possible way.

How often do we see wine ‘exhibited’ in living rooms, restaurants, hotels or even wine shops! In bright daylight. In the shop window. Often in direct sunlight. Often for months, if not years. If you examine a bottle like this, it will be evident that the fluid has become clearer, more transparent, and that even its color has changed because of the sunlight.

Discover why proper wine storage is the ultimate luxury for connoisseurs – and how SWISSCAVE combines world-class engineering and timeless design to preserve every bottle to perfection.

Wine does not like being disturbed. Wine should not be subjected to shaking or jolting. The older the wine, the more sensitive it is to any jarring. So what about transporting wine? Wine dealers ship cases of wine via courier or postal service – what does that do to the wine? Does it not get agitated during transport?

When the topic of conversation is wine storage, a lot of time is spent on the “right” temperature and how important it is to not be too warm, nor too cold, and stable. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with that discussion, except that with all the attention given to temperature, the most important factors are often overlooked.
