I – General points
Sowineisdesignedexclusivelyforpreservingandbringingstillwine(white,roséand
red)tothecorrectservingtemperature.
The appliance cannot be used for fizzy wine (Champagne etc.).
Theapplianceisveryexible,thecompartmentprogrammingadaptsto:
-2bottlesofwhiteorredwine,openedorunopened;
-1bottleofredwine+1bottleofwhitewine;
-1singlebottle,openedorunopened.
WithSowine,yourwineretainsallofitstasteandavoursforseveraldays,even
afterthebottlehasbeenopened.
II – The 2 keys to enjoying wine at its best
1) Serve the wine at a suitable temperature:
Inorderforwines tofullydevelopalltheir avours,theymustbeservedat the
correctservingtemperature.Awinestoredatatemperaturewhichistoohighwill
haveanoverpoweringalcoholcontent.Onthecontrary,atemperaturewhichistoo
lowwilldullthewine’savoursandpreventthemfromfullydeveloping.
Thecorrectservingtemperatureforwhite/roséwinesisbetween8°Cand10°C.
Thatofredwineisbetween16°Cand18°C.
Sowine respects your wine, which is why it brings wine to the correct serving
temperaturegradually.
Forexample:abottleofwhite/roséwinetakenfromawinecabinetat12°Cwill
requireapproximately1andahalfhourstoreachasuitableservingtemperature(in
thecaseofafullbottleatanambienttemperatureof20°C).
Inthesameconditions,abottleofredwinewillrequireapproximately3hrstoreach
thecorrectservingtemperature.
2) Protect wine from oxygen once the bottle is opened:
Winebreaths,itismadeupoflivingelementswhichevolve.Whenitcomesinto
contactwithoxygeninthesurroundingair,wineoxidisesveryrapidly.
Winemustbeprotectedfromanycontactwithoxygeninorderto preserveits
tasting qualities. The Sowine oxygen extraction system preserves your wine by
drawingoxygenfromthebottle,protectingthewinefromoxidation.
