Humidity: under control

ULTIMATE actively monitors and controls humidity. Only the best for the most demanding wines

 

For optimal wine storage, relative humidity should be 70% at a temperature of 12°C.

If the humidity drops below this level, the cork may dry out, causing it to split or shrink, allowing oxygen into the bottle.

Excessive humidity, on the other hand, can lead to condensation forming on the colder surfaces: fungi and bacteria thrive in environments with condensation and can damage the cork and create unpleasant odours. They can also cause the paper label to rot.
