Underground wine cellars are used to store wine. Due to the special storage properties of wines, the design and arrangement of wine cellars must be scientific. Due to the high water table and moist soil, it is easy to cause water seepage and dampness on some basement walls and floors. Wine cellars have requirements not only for temperature but also for humidity.

The purpose of ventilation is to maintain better air in the wine cellar. If too much alcohol is evaporated and the air is not smooth, flammable gases will form and gather, which will create a safety hazard. Better air is also good for the staff to breathe and helps to keep the cellar dry. Excessive humidity in a wine cellar can lead to the growth of fungi. Humidity levels above 85% can encourage the production of mold on labels and capsules, which can be fatal to the wine. In addition to this, a damp cellar can have an adverse effect on the label, which may be missing, making it difficult to determine which wine is stored in the bottle.

The Importance of Humidity and Temperature Control in Underground Wine Cellars

Wine is also demanding in terms of temperature. The normal ageing temperature for wine is between 10°C and 16°C, with a maximum of 24°C. The most important thing is that the temperature is constant. However, the most important thing is that the temperature must be constant and stable, because temperature changes not only cause thermal expansion and contraction that make it easiest for the wine to ooze out of the cork and accelerate the oxidation of the wine, but also, and above all, the sudden change in temperature will lead to the production of unwanted substances in the process of aging, resulting in the variation of flavor and even deterioration.

The French once said: "The more steps leading to the cellar, the better the cellar". But the deeper into the ground will be more humid, configuration of a fully automatic dehumidifier to control the relative temperature and humidity of the wine cellar is a scientific choice.

PARKOO, the environmental temperature and humidity solution provider. PARKOOTECH dehumidifier, is the choice of environmental air dehumidification, improve the quality of humid air in the environment. PARKOO industrial dehumidifier, with automatic humidity control system, the user can be based on the current demand, free to set the humidity value of the dehumidifier, automatic control of the dehumidifier on and off, in order to achieve efficient dehumidification effect, and at the same time accurately control the temperature of the wine cellar, for the provision of a suitable storage space for fine wines.
