Wine Coolers Buying Guide
IDEAL STORAGE CONDITIONS FOR WINES AND FRESH DRINKS
To allow a wine to fully develop its bouquet and aromas, the storage and serving temperature conditions must be appropriate. Whether you are a wine enthusiast looking for a wine cooler for your home, or a restaurateur seeking a small wine cooler or a large-capacity under-counter model, we have the solution for you!
WHAT ASPECTS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WHEN BUYING A WINE COOLER?
There are numerous factors to consider when selecting the right wine cooler for all your needs. These include the size of the cooler, bottle capacity, temperature zones, cooling elements, the estimated storage duration, and the lifespan of the device. Generally, the better the wine in your collection, the longer the aging time. The only way to develop the full potential of the wines is to store them in a wine cabinet that protects them. If your refrigerator is not specifically designed for wines, then the quality of your wine is at risk!
WINE COOLER – OPTIMAL STORAGE AT IDEAL TEMPERATURE
A constant temperature throughout the year, between 12 °C (53.6 °F) and 14 °C (57.2 °F), is ensured by the electronic temperature control of the wine coolers. All wines, whether white or red, should always be stored at the same temperature, as in a natural cellar. Humidity is constantly adjusted, as wine coolers maintain humidity levels between 50% and 70%. Only the best natural cellars can maintain this consistency. Regarding UV protection, the "Low-Emission" treatment of the double-glazed doors of the wine coolers blocks harmful UV rays. Additionally, constant ventilation ensures that the air in a wine cellar is continuously renewed through natural convection. Outside air enters through an activated carbon filter at the top of the wine cooler, effectively eliminating all odors before they enter the wine cooler, and is expelled clearly from the bottom of the wine cooler.
THE BEST OPTION FOR AGING WINE IN A CELLAR
It is crucial to determine the ideal time for tasting wines. The aging process is altered by improper storage of the wine (temperature fluctuations, vibrations, light, etc.). These criteria are essential for selecting the most suitable wine cooler to ensure the full potential of your wine.
WINE STORAGE TIPS
Store your wines in a dark place. Ultraviolet light from direct sunlight can damage the wine, so make sure your wines are protected from light. It is best to store them in an odor-free and well-ventilated place. Wine bottles should also be stored in a stable, vibration-free position. The temperature should remain constant throughout the year. Exceptional wine coolers do all this and more!
HOW TO STORE DIFFERENT TYPES OF WINES
How should you proceed to store white and red wines together in the same cabinet? Here is a simple solution! In this case, the best option is a dual-zone wine cooler. A dual-zone wine cooler allows you to store two different wines, considering their ideal storage conditions, in the same wine cooler. This way, you don't have to spend more money to buy separate wine coolers for red and white wines!
WINE COOLER WITH COMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY
Compression technology offers excellent cooling performance with low energy consumption, even at high ambient temperatures. Multi-zone wine coolers are ideal for storing red, white, and sparkling wines that are soon to be served. The desired wine temperature is easily set and consistently maintained.
