The importance of wine at the right temperature

Today, having a wine cellar at home is no longer reserved for connoisseurs. It's a real plus for all those who like to share a glass of wine with friends, accompany a good meal or simply enjoy their bottles in the best possible conditions.

Serving temperature plays an essential role in the taste of wine. Too hot, it often seems more alcoholic and loses its finesse. Too cold, it becomes more closed, and its aromas less expressive. To really appreciate a wine, it's best to respect certain temperatures, depending on the type of wine:

• Light red wines: between 14 and 16°C

• Full-bodied red wines: between 16 and 18°C

• Dry or fruity white wines: between 10 and 12°C

• Sweet wines: between 8 and 10 °C

• Champagnes and other sparkling wines: between 6 and 8 °C

In a conventional kitchen, it's often difficult to manage these temperatures precisely. A simple refrigerator or cool room won't do.

Why choose a service wine cellar?

A service wine cellar is designed to keep bottles at the ideal tasting temperature. It's more precise than a conventional fridge, and also protects the wine from light, vibration and changes in humidity, which can harm its quality.

Some cellars even offer several temperature zones, so that reds, whites or champagnes can be stored at the same time, each at the temperature that suits them best.

A simple, attractive solution for the home

Built-in wine cellars are easy to integrate into the kitchen. They take up no more space than an oven or dishwasher, and their modern design suits any style. Some models feature electronic controls and even apps for adjusting temperature or tracking bottle stocks remotely.

The little extra that makes all the difference

Installing a wine cellar at home means indulging yourself while adding a touch of refinement to your kitchen. It's also a simple way to enjoy and care for your bottles. For lovers of good times over a glass, it's an investment that really makes a difference.
