Problem
The wooden slats in the
wooden shelves are
warping.
A white deposit has
formed on the wine
bottle corks.
Cause and remedy
A change in volume due to moisture absorption or
drying out is a typical characteristic of wood. An
increase in humidity in the wine unit causes wooden
components 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.
Use a dry cloth to wipe off the deposit. The deposit
will not affect the quality of the wine.
