The ILVE Wine Cellars make for an impressive addition to
your ILVE collection. Allowing you to store wine in an optimum
humidity and temperature controlled environment, boasting an
impressive array of features with the sleek look that is signature
of ILVE appliances.
It has been established that wine should be stored in a dark
area, in a temperature of approximate 12°C – 16°C and with a
humidity level of around 70% to ensure the cork doesn’t dry out
and the wine doesn’t spoil.
These conditions can be dicult to nd naturally in the home,
so the ILVE Wine Cellars are a great option for the long-term
storage of wine, as the humidity and single temperature control
feature that keeps wine stored between 12°C and 16°C ensures
that wine quality is maintained as it matures.
Key features include an internal white LED light and electronic
control panel, as well as wooden shelves that can easily house
your ‘ready to drink’ or matured wine.
THE FIVE ESSENTIAL RULES OF WINE STORAGE
ILVE wine cellars ensure your wines are stored in the ideal
cellaring conditions by respecting these 5 wine storage rules;
1. STABLE TEMPERATURE BETWEEN 12°C - 14°C
Daily and weekly temperature uctuations denature your wines.
In particular, temperatures above 25°C will ruin wine within a
couple of weeks and create ‘spoiled fruit’ avours.
2. HUMIDITY ABOVE 50%
Levels lower than this cause corks to dry out and shrink,
allowing damaging air into the wine, creating oxidation and o-
odours.
3. DARK STORAGE AREA
All light should be avoided, but the UV light in particular: it
creates hydrogen sulde compounds in wine and aects the
tannins and the colour of your wine.
4. NO VIBRATIONS
Imperceptible vibrations prematurely deteriorate wine by
speeding up chemical reactions and ageing.
5. AIRFLOW
Lack of appropriate ventilation and air change makes wine
cellars become stale and mouldy.
