Wine is highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations, and maintaining the correct storage
temperature ensures that it matures as intended. Storing wine at the wrong temperature can
accelerate aging, degrade flavors, or even spoil the wine entirely.
As a company specializing in wine cellars, we understand the importance of precise temperature
control. The size and type of cooling equipment required for a wine cellar depend on factors such
as insulation, room size, bottle capacity, and ambient conditions. Choosing the right system is
crucial to maintaining stable storage conditions, which directly impacts installation costs and
energy efficiency.
This document outlines the recommended storage temperatures for different wine types, helping
you make informed decisions about your wine cellar setup and cooling requirements.
Wine Storage Temperature Guidelines
General Guidelines:
• 40 - 50°F: Light, dry white wines and sparkling wine
• 50 - 60°F: Full-bodied white wines and light, fruity red wines
