Sub-Zero wine storage units offer precise temperature control to protect your investment. Here's how to optimize settings for different wine types.
Understanding Wine Zones
Sub-Zero wine units feature dual independent temperature zones, allowing you to store both reds and whites at optimal temperatures.
Red Wine Storage - Ideal serving temperature: 60-68°F - Ideal storage temperature: 55°F - Full-bodied reds (Cabernet, Syrah): 60-65°F - Light reds (Pinot Noir, Beaujolais): 55-60°F
White Wine Storage - Ideal serving temperature: 45-55°F - Ideal storage temperature: 45-50°F - Full-bodied whites (Chardonnay): 50-55°F - Light whites (Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling): 45-50°F
Sparkling Wine - Ideal serving temperature: 38-45°F - Storage temperature: 45°F
Humidity Control
Sub-Zero wine units maintain 50-70% humidity to prevent cork drying. If you notice low humidity: - Check door seals for air leaks - Ensure unit isn't near heat sources - Contact service if humidity drops below 50%
Temperature Stability
Fluctuating temperatures can damage wine. Sub-Zero units maintain ±1°F precision, but placement matters: - Avoid direct sunlight - Keep away from heat-producing appliances - Ensure adequate ventilation
When to Service Your Wine Unit
Contact us if you notice: - Temperature fluctuations exceeding 3°F - Humidity consistently below 50% - Unusual compressor noise - Condensation inside the unit - LED lighting failure
