Here’s How You Know you’re a Wine Person
You’ve toured the vineyards, experienced epic wine tasting pairings, and like to have a bottle of red and white at the ready. When it comes to your vino, you’re not fooling around.
Similar to how climate plays a large part in a grape’s cultivation, climate is also a determining factor of a wine’s quality after the bottle is sealed. A wine stored in optimum conditions in a wine cooler can further improve in the bottle. Here’s how to ensure that the first sip will be a winner.

Keep It Cool
No matter the season, wine requires a consistent temperature for best flavor results. Heat can impair the bottle aging process and destroy a wines fine flavor notes. It’s recommended that wine be stored at a cool, stable temperature, between 50°F (10°C) to 54°F (12°C). Liebherr Monolith wine cabinets maintain precise temperatures thanks to its Infinity Protection — two temperature sensors in each compartment that notifies you if a temperature change is detected.

Age Wine in Style
Yes, bottle ageing is a real issue. Depending on the type of wine, its full flavor can take years to develop. During this time, ambient influences such as airborne odors, too much sun and incorrect bottle position can distort the wine’s flavor. For example, oxygen can penetrate through dried-out corks (humidity level needs to be over 50 per cent to keep the corks intact and the bottle firmly sealed), which is why wine should be stored on its side and not upright.
Any wine lover knows that it’s ideal to combine your passion for wine with the best in food storage. Liebherr Monolith Built-in 24-inch 5.6 cu. ft Wine Cooler and Monolith Built-in Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator can both be ordered panel-ready to integrate into any cabinet style, creating a clean look. Liebherr’s innovative cooling system ensures that newly stored wine (or food!) is quickly cooled while maintaining the interior’s even temperature.
Get Into the Zone
Not all wines should be stored at just one temperature, and Liebherr’s wine cabinets offer one to three temperature zones which can all be independently set. White wines are best stored between 45-55°F (7-12°C), while reds and roses should be stored between 55-62°F (12-19°C) and champagne at 41-46°F (5-8°C). Liebherr’s innovative technology ensures that the temperature you set doesn’t change. Liebherr Monolith Built-in 24-inch 11.3 cu.ft. Wine Cooler.
Shun the Sun
There’s no doubt about it, wine is temperamental. UV light can trigger biochemical processes in the wine which can cause taste and color to deteriorate, and heavy vibrations can damage the natural aging process of the wine molecules. The Monolith offers insulated glass doors with UV protection, and a sensor-controlled glass door that opens with a gentle pull, and closes automatically — and softly after three seconds!
