Possible cause and remedy
Mould can form on the labels, depending on the type
of adhesive used on them.
Remove all mould residues. Clean the wine bottles
and remove any adhesive residues.
A change in volume due to moisture absorption or
drying out is a typical characteristic of wood. An
increase in humidity in the wine conditioning unit
causes wooden components in the unit to warp.
Therefore, under certain circumstances, wooden
parts can warp and cracks can develop. Knots and
grain patina are part of the natural character of the
wood.
The corks have oxidised due to contact with the air.
Wipe off the film with a dry cloth. The film does not
affect the quality of the wine.
