When acetaldehyde levels in wine rise above 100-125 mg/L, the wine begins to develop off-putting aromas. This chemical, naturally present in wine at approximately 30 mg/L in red, 80 mg/L in white, and up to 300 mg/L in sherry, can increase if wine is stored improperly.
One of the key culprits behind this chemical change is vibration. Vibration disrupts sediment, speeds up oxidation, and alters how wine ages.
Over time, even slight movements ruin the aroma, flavor, and balance of fine wine. UOVO was created to solve this problem with storage solutions designed to protect and preserve wine quality, as outlined in the sections below:
Purpose-Built Wine Storage Facilities
UOVO’s wine storage facilities are carefully designed with collectors in mind. Every space is built to support long-term care and gentle aging. The goal is to protect wine from anything that could affect its quality.
These facilities are calm, still, and climate-controlled. They reduce exposure to noise, vibration, and movement from nearby activity. With this kind of stable setting, the wine matures the way it should.
Wine contains a preservative called sulfur dioxide (SO₂), which helps protect it from spoilage. Over time, SO₂ levels drop naturally, but poor storage speeds up the loss. Once that happens, the wine becomes more likely to oxidize or change flavor.
UOVO’s custom wine storage innovations help slow this breakdown. By carefully managing temperature, humidity, and air quality, bottles stay in better shape for longer. These measures give collectors confidence that their wine will age well and taste as intended.
Vibration-Free Racking Systems
UOVO uses custom-designed racking systems that hold each bottle firmly in place. These racks stop bottles from sliding, tilting, or vibrating. As such, they help keep the wine’s structure and balance intact.
Inside the bottle, sediment forms naturally as the wine matures. If the bottle keeps moving, that sediment gets stirred and spreads through the liquid. UOVO’s racking keeps bottles steady, allowing aging to happen smoothly and correctly.
Each rack is made to fit different bottle shapes and sizes. Your entire collection is stored safely, no matter the variety. It’s just one of the ways UOVO ensures wine quality from the first day of storage.
Dedicated Private Cellars
Your collection deserves peace and privacy. UOVO’s private cellars remove wine from areas where foot traffic or heavy equipment may cause vibration. Each cellar is designed for maximum isolation.
Even footsteps or nearby doors closing can generate minor shocks. These small movements may not seem important, but they can add up over time. As such, private cellars are a crucial part of our approach.
Collectors can enjoy secure, exclusive environments for their bottles. Each cellar is optimized for quiet, still storage. These measures are key to preserving wine quality.
Temperature-Controlled Delivery Fleet
Moving wine is one of the most delicate stages of its life. When protecting wine collections in transit, UOVO operates a dedicated, climate-controlled delivery fleet. These vehicles are designed to limit vibration while keeping bottles at the ideal temperature.
Our custom packing methods cushion each bottle during transport. They thus reduce the chance of jostling or sudden shifts. Here’s how our delivery system supports your collection’s safety:
- Specialized packing techniques absorb road vibration
- Fleet vehicles are temperature-regulated from door to door
- Routes are planned to avoid long travel times and heavy traffic
- Trained handlers pack bottles for optimal security
These approaches reduce the risk of damage during transport. They help keep wine stable and secure throughout the journey. Clients can trust that each delivery is handled with care.
Minimal Handling Policies
The less wine is handled, the better. At UOVO, only trained experts manage your collection, and handling is kept to a minimum. These steps help reduce the risk of drops, shakes, or temperature shifts that can affect wine quality.
According to SurveyMonkey, roughly 75% of adults enjoy wine-and for many, it’s a regular part of life. But when it comes to storing high-value collections, routine handling isn’t good enough.
Every bottle must be treated with precision and care.
Minimal movement keeps sediment undisturbed. It also reduces oxidation and exposure to air. These small steps go a long way in maintaining long-term value.
Advanced Building Design
UOVO’s buildings are engineered with vibration resistance in mind. The construction layout uses special technologies with varying capabilities. These technologies include vibration-dampening materials and systems that protect against external sources like traffic or equipment.
Many storage buildings are not designed for fragile goods. Daily background movement can cause unseen damage to wine. UOVO takes a different approach.
Our locations are built to isolate each collection from the outside world. Design choices include concrete slabs, specialized flooring, and isolated zones. These features consider vibration impact on wine and prevent it from ever reaching your bottles.
Expert Staff and Proven Protocols
No amount of good design matters without proper handling. UOVO’s expert staff follow tested procedures that keep wine stable and secure. Every team member is trained in collection care and vibration prevention.
Our team understands the delicate chemistry of wine. Staff use the right materials and avoid actions that may compromise bottle integrity. Here are four common techniques we use to support wine quality:
- Bottles are inspected and placed with the label facing up to reduce turning
- Storage units are checked for temperature and humidity fluctuations
- Each action is logged for traceability and accountability
- Special foam or cradle supports are used for rare or vintage wines
Our trained team understands our UOVO wine solution for handling delicate wine bottles with care. They follow strict steps to protect every item. Your collection is handled correctly from start to finish, with clear records kept for every step.
