WINE SELECTION SUGGESTIONS  
Selecting the right wine for the right occasion can  
sometimes be a seemingly awkward or difficult task for  
the beginning wine enthusiast. We would therefore like  
to present you with a few suggestions which may provide a little more  
confidence and enjoyment when choosing and serving your wines.  
When selecting wines, keep an open mind and do  
not be afraid to be adventurous. Do not view the  
subject of wine so seriously it discourages you  
from learning and discovering for fear of embar-  
rassment if something is incorrect. Wine is best  
viewed as a hobby and enjoyed.  
When assembling your collection, try not to become  
obsessed with “Vintages.” Although a chart can  
provide itself as a useful tool, generalizations about  
a specific year have led more than one collector to  
disappointment. In many instances an “off year” will  
provide a better value and more near term  
drinking enjoyment.  
The primary guideline to the subject of wine you need to follow is your  
own palate. Do not be afraid to make mistakes. Experiment, discover,  
®
but most of all, enjoy yourself and your new Wine Captain model.

SUGGESTIONS FOR MATCHING FOOD  
AND WINE  
Although there are no hard fast rules for matching wine to food,  
some guidelines should be observed. Delicate dishes should be  
accompanied by lighter more delicate wines. Full flavored foods  
should be matched with fuller bodied wines.  
As a general rule one should aim to ascend in flavor and quality of  
wines served.  
A DRY WINE Before A SWEET WINE  
A WHITE WINE Before A RED WINE  
A YOUNG WINE Before An OLD WINE  
A LIGHT-BODIED WINE Before A FULL-BODIED WINE  
Any step back in quality will be noticed. If a fine wine were to be  
tasted prior to a lesser wine, many of the fine wine’s subtle qualities  
may be missed.

COMMON TASTING TERMS  
Acidity:  
Balance:  
Body:  
A critical element of wine, preserves the wine’s  
freshness. In excess results in an overly tart and sour  
wine.  
A desired trait where tannin, fruit and acidity are in  
total harmony. Wines with good balance tend to age  
gracefully.  
The weight and presence of wine in the mouth  
provided by the alcohol and tannin level. Full-bodied  
wines tend to have this strong concentration.  
Bouquet:  
Complex:  
The blending of a wine’s aroma within the bottle over a  
period of time. Caused by volatile acidity.  
A subjective term often used in tasting. A wine is said  
to be complex if it offers a variety of flavors and scents  
that continue to evolve as it develops.  
Flabby:  
A wine that lacks structure, or is heavy to the taste,  
lacks acidity.  
Full-Bodied: Wine high in alcohol and extract, generally speaking fills  
the mouth, powerful.  
Lean:  
Oaky:  
Generally wines that are slim, lacking of generosity or  
thin.  
A desirable flavor imparted to wine if done in modera-  
tion. Most wines are aged in oak barrels one to three  
years, thereby receiving this toasty oak characteristic.  
However, if a weak wine is left in contact too long with  
an oak barrel it will tend to be overpowered with an  
oaky taste.  
Tannin:  
Tannins are extracted from the grape skins and stems  
and are necessary for a well balanced red wine. Tannins  
are easily identified in wine tasting as the drying  
sensation over the gums. Tannins generally fade as a  
wine ages.

WOOD TRIM ON WINE RACKS  
®
Your U-Line Wine Captain Model is equipped with a natural wood  
trim on the wine racks for appearance and durability. The wood  
trim has been coated at the factory with a clear vinyl sealer, which  
will adequately protect the wood in normal usage.  
WARNING  
!
To prevent permanent damage to the inner liner of your  
®
Wine Captain , the wine rack wood trim MUST be  
removed from the unit for staining and/or finishing.  
Allow stain/finish to dry thoroughly (at least 24 hours  
per coat) in accordance with the stain/finish manufac-  
turer’s instructions prior to re-installing the wood trim  
®
inside the cabinet of the Wine Captain . Failure to do so  
may cause the inner liner of the unit to have a perma-  
nent odor, which is not covered by the warranty.  
You have 3 options regarding the wood trim on the wine racks.  
(1) You can leave as is, (2) add a final finish coat or (3) you may  
stain the wood trim. The final finish coat was not applied at the fac-  
tory so that the wood trim could be stained. YOU CANNOT STAIN  
THE WOOD TRIM ONCE YOU APPLY THE FINAL FINISH.  
Review the following guidelines when staining and or sealing the  
wood to ensure proper adhesion and durability of the finish.  
To add a final finish coat:  
1. Remove five racks with wood trim from unit, see RACK  
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.  
2. Remove screws securing wood trim to racks.  
3. Lightly scruff sand the molding with 280 grit 3M™ Tri-M-Ite™  
sand-paper.  
4. Remove sanding dust with a clean, dry cloth.  
5. Apply a thin coat of a clear protective finish; the factory-applied  
seal is compatible with virtually all finishes. A low odor, water  
®
®
clean up, quick drying finish such as Minwax Polycrylic  
Protective Finish is recommended. Follow container label for  
directions.  
6. Lightly sand and reapply if desired.

Users Manual  
To stain for a different wood color:  
1. Remove five racks with wood trim from unit, see RACK  
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.  
2. Remove screws securing wood trim to racks.  
®
3. Apply Minwax Water-Based Wood Stain to wood with a syn-  
thetic foam brush. Stain must penetrate approximately 3 min-  
utes. After this period, while stain is still wet, take a stain damp-  
ened rag and remove all excess stain. Wipe in the direction of  
the grain with medium pressure to achieve the desired stain  
color.  
4. After 2 hours, repeat step 3. This will even out the color of the  
wood.  
5. Allow stain to dry for a minimum of 3 hours before finishing.  
6. If desired sand the wood with very fine sandpaper to smooth the  
surface from the staining process.  
®
7. Remove all dust from the wood. Apply one coat of Minwax Ultra  
®
Polycrylic Protective Finish with a synthetic bristle brush to the  
wood. This finish should be applied in a thin coat following the  
direction of the grain. First apply the finish to the back and sides  
of the wood. Allow this to dry for two hours. Next apply the fin-  
ish to the front side of the wood and allow to dry for two hours.  
Sand with very fine sandpaper (220 grit). Reapply in the same  
manner 3 times total. After the third coat do not sand the sur-  
face.  
8. Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before installing the wood  
®
to the Wine Captain racks.

THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE FOR WINE  
Wine Captain models have a unique, triple temperature zone permit-  
ting storage of your finest wines at approximately 60°F (15°C in the top  
portion of the cabinet for reds, 50-55°F (10-12°C) in the middle for  
whites and 45°F (7°C) on the bottom for sparkling wines). Temperatures  
noted are product temperatures and not air temperatures.  
PROPER STORAGE  
Model 2075WC will accommodate 48 bottles (750 ML size). Model  
2015WC will accommodate 24 bottles (750 ML size). Specially  
designed wine racks allow for proper horizontal storage of the wine.  
The cork remains moist, which keeps air from entering the bottle.

MAINTENANCE  
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top  
performance, and long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based  
on normal conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you have  
pets or other special considerations.  
EXTERIOR CLEANING — AS REQUIRED  
The door, grille and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and  
warm water solution. Do not use solvent based or abrasive cleaners.  
Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean  
towel to prevent water spotting.  
Stainless Steel Models  
• Stainless steel models may discolor when exposed to chlorine gas,  
pool chemicals, salt water or cleaners with bleach.  
• Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a high quality,  
all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish on a monthly basis. For best  
results use Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner, which can be  
purchased from U-Line Corporation. (Part number 173348/$7.99  
plus shipping and handling.) Frequent cleaning will remove surface  
contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations will require  
cleaning on a weekly basis.  
DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS.  
DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY  
INTENDED FOR STAINLESS STEEL (this includes glass, tile  
and counter cleansers).  
• If any surface discolors or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bon-
