Have You Heard Of Wine Coolers Lately?
Just a few short years ago, if the phrase wine cooler was mentioned, most people would immediately think about Bartles and James. Additionally , if somebody told you about their wine collection, you would probably picture a massive underground vault. However, a modern wine cooler is nothing at all like either of these images. Purchasing a fine wine will cost you quite a bit of money. This money won’t be spent well if you can’t correctly store your wine. Therefore, you need to consider the environmental elements that have an effect on the wine, which include humidity, temperature, ventilation, calm and the angle that the bottle is stored at. All these things are considered and correctly addressed by a top quality wine cooler. If you need your wine to be stored completely, it must be stored horizontally in a stable temperature at the lowest possible place without any vibration. There also shouldn’t be any robust odours near it. The temperature should be between 50 and 55 degrees with a 70% humidity level. These are all things that a wine cooler can easily provide for your wine. If you decide to purchase an under-the-counter model of a wine cooler, then this unit can be simply built right into your kitchen. This will give you extra protection for the wine against any natural lighting. However, when you are shopping for this model of a wine cooler, or any other model for that matter, you need to make sure that you avoid some … Read More
Why Choose A Compact Wine Refrigerator?
A compact wine refrigerator is the ideal way to store your wine collection in prime condition, whether you are an avid collector or just like to have a few bottles on hand to share with guests. The capacity of a wine refrigerator can range from six bottles up to 800 bottles; a compact wine refrigerator can fit under a cabinet or stand against a wall. Dual zone wine fridges can be used to store different wine types at different temperatures for drinking now or for longer-term storage and aging. For the many people who do not have the space to build a mini wine cellar, a compact wine refrigerator can provide an ideal solution. A compact under-bench wine refrigerator will maintain wines at the ideal temperature and it should be remembered that even those wines that are best served at room temperature should be stored in a cool environment to protect the integrity of the wine. One of the advantages of a dual zone compact wine refrigerator lies is its ability to store different types of wines at different temperatures within the same wine cooler unit. The recommended storage temperature for white wines is between 46 and 54 degrees Farenheit and for red wines it is 54 to 64 degrees Farenheit. Besides providing temperature control, a compact wine refrigerator will maintain the correct humidity for storing wine. The Correct Way To Store Wine Most wine lovers understand that they must treat their wines with respect and avoid vibration to the … Read More
How To Build A Wine Closet
Any wine lover passionate about wine usually starts to collect it and as their wine collection grows they soon begin to wonder how to store a wine collection. A closet or cupboard can easily be turned into a mini wine cellar to store your growing wine collection. Before you begin building your mini wine closet consider the position of the closet in relation to the rest of the house or apartment. If possible, avoid converting a closet against an outside wall into a wine cellar. The outer walls of your home can be subject to wide seasonal temperature fluctuations in temperature. Ideally, choose an internal closet where your wine will be able to be stored at a more constant temperature. The degree and the speed of any change in temperature are critical elements in successfully storing and aging wine. A gradual change of a few degrees between from winter to summer won’t matter. A similar change each day will certainly cause harm to your wines by ageing them too quickly. The major rule when you are storing your wine is to avoid wide fluctuations in temperature. You’ll notice damage of this type immediately from the stickiness that will often form around the capsule. Over time the continual expansion and contraction of the wine will damage the integrity of the cork. It’s just like having the cork removed and replaced every day. When this happens, minute quantities of wine may be pushed out along the edge of the cork (between the … Read More
Critical Factors in the Storage Of Wine
Like many other products, the character of a wine is affected by numerous factors over time, many of which may compromise its quality. The way wine is stored affects the nature and degree of the changes that these factors can cause. Controlling the amount of air, light, humidity, vibration and variations in temperature is the one toward storing wine properly. Air Exposure to air is one of the surest ways to spoil the quality of wine. In addition to the dangers of airborne contaminants and evaporation, exposure to air causes oxidation in the wine which then causes the quality of the wine to decline. The need to keep air locked out of a wine bottle of course led to the use of corks and bottles, and this is still the most common way to prevent wine coming into contact with air. While newer corking materials are less prone to drying, the cork should be kept moist enough to ensure that the only air in the bottle is the little bit trapped in the bottle at the time of it was corked. Keeping the cork moist (and thus airtight) by keeping it in contact with the wine explains why most bottles are stored in a horizontal position. Light Exposure to light is also detrimental to wine quality. Light exposure causes undesirable chemical reactions in the wine which will reduce the quality or even completely spoil the wine. Ultraviolet (UV) light can cause the development of undesirable hydrogen sulfide compounds in wine. … Read More

From Wine Chillers to Wine Cellars – The Many Types of Wine Cooling Products
Wine Cooling Products There are many categories, types and brands of wine cooling products, but for the most part, they can be broken down into three major categories: Wine Chillers: devices designed for cooling one or several bottles for a relatively short period of time. Wine Coolers: loosely analogous to standard refrigerators adapted for the proper storage of a few bottles of wine up to several hundred. Wine Cellars: walk-in storage facilities intended for longer-term storage of hundreds or thousands of bottles. Here’s a look at each of these categories in a bit more detail. Wine Chillers Sometimes also called “wine coolers”, wine chillers are devices designed to cool, often quickly, a small number of bottles of wine, or to keep pre-chilled bottles cool for presentation and serving. Wine chillers can be broken down into three categories: ice containers, passive insulated or pre-chilled devices, and electric appliances. Ice containers are probably the best known items in this category. They are simply some sort of container — virtually any size or shape and made of a wide variety of materials — designed to hold a quantity of ice that cools one or more bottles of wine. Ice containers will usually hold 1 to 3 bottles. Passive devices are generally some type of container or sleeve that snugly fits a single bottle of wine and may serve as insulation to keep a pre-chilled bottle cool longer than if the bottle were exposed to the air, or may contain a special gel that … Read More
