와인 보관 온도

와인을보관하는데적정한온도는섭씨10도에서12.8도(화씨50도– 55도)라고하며,습도는70%내외라고합니다.보통레드와인과화이트와인의차이를두지는않더군요.(아래영문참조)

 

Temperature is the most important factor and the factor that should be sought after above all others. The optimum temperature is 50 to 55°F (10-12°C). However, any constant temperature within 40-65°F (5-18°C) will do. More important than the actual temperature you will be able to achieve, is the degree and rapidity of fluctuation the wine is subjected to. A slow change of temperature of ten or so degrees between winter and summer is not a big problem. But this kind of fluctuation on a daily or weekly basis will cause damage to your wines and age them prematurely. You will notice damage of this nature from the sticky deposit that often forms around the capsule. In time, as the wine expands and contracts, it will damage the integrity of the cork. When this happens minute quantities of wine may make its way alongside the cork possibly even allowing oxygen to seep back in.

Wines kept at too high a temperature will age faster than wines kept at a cold temperature. Theoretically, wines kept at 68°F will age twice as fast as those kept at 50°F. At 55°F (12°C) wines will age so slowly – with ultimately greater complexity – that you will never have to worry about them. This is not to say the colder the better. Wine that is stored too cold can develop deposits or other suspensions in the wine. Finally, keep in mind that white wines are affected far more by temperature problems than red wines.

자유게시판에달맞이님이쓰신“LG와인셀러일주일사용해보고”를보면LG와인셀러의경우하단은화이트와인을위해서8도로셋팅이되어있고상단은레드와인을위해서14도로셋팅이되어있다고합니다.

 

마실때는화이트와인은차게,레드와인은실온과비슷하게해서마셔야제대로감상을할수있다고하는데과연보관도그렇게해야하는것인지의문이생깁니다.보관은색깔에상관없이위에서언급한적정온도에맞춰서하고화이트와인을마실때는좀더차게하는것이옳은방법이아닌지궁금합니다.

 

부연해서말씀드리면지금은모르겠지만과거에항온항습기가없는전통적인지하와인셀러일경우화이트와레드를구분해서보관했을것같지가않아서이런의문을가져보았습니다.

 

만약색깔과상관없이보관적정온도가같아야한다면와인셀러를이중온도체계로가져가지않아도되고따라서능력에맞춰서작은(41병용량등)와인셀러를구입해도될것같습니다.
