The Importance of Constant Temperature at 15°C

Proper wine storage is the foundation for preserving both quality and value. A constant temperature of around 15°C is considered the gold standard for cellaring fine wines. At this level, the maturation process is gradual, allowing the wine’s bouquet and complexity to develop harmoniously over time.

Fluctuating temperatures are among the greatest threats to wine. When the liquid expands and contracts, it puts stress on the cork, risking air leakage that leads to oxidation. Even small variations can compromise long-term aging, while excessive heat accelerates deterioration and cold conditions mute aromas and flavors.
