STORING WINES
Storing wines at the proper temperature is important. Stored too cold, the aroma and avor of the
wine will be diminished. Stored too warm, the avor of the wine can become too harsh, at in
avor, or taste too strongly alcoholic.
Because it is carefully limited to a temperature range that will preserve and enhance wines, any
setting of the Cuisinart™ Private Reserve™ Wine Cellar is appropriate for storing most wines.
The only exceptions are:
– Champagne is best stored at presets 1, 2 or 3
– Red wine is best stored at presets 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8
