To maintain and increase their value they require specific climate conditions for proper storage and aging.
Precision Monitoring used in wine cellars will monitor the climate conditions to create and maintain the ideal environment for the proper storage and aging of valuable wines.
The conditions the wine is kept in can influence how well a wine ages and requires significant time and financial investment. The aging of wine, and its ability to improve in quality, distinguishes wine from most other consumable goods.
The ability of a wine to age is influenced by many factors including grape variety, vintage, viticulture practices, wine region, and winemaking style.
Complex chemical reactions involving a wine's sugars, acids and phenolic compounds (such as tannins) can alter the aroma, color, mouth feel and taste of the wine in a way that may be more pleasing to the taster.
Wine will rapidly deteriorate if kept in inadequate conditions.
Proper storage is the final factor in the equation of creating fine wines.
