Koolatron WC06 Wine Cellar (6 Bottle), Black

Product Information

You can find a refrigerator that meets your dimension requirements, using the filter option to filter by height, width, colour, temperature zone, and a range of other qualities. The humidity in a fridge is also too low, which overtime can result in a dried out cork. Add to that the potential risk of strong odours from leftover food affecting your wine, and it becomes clear why it's really not an ideal solution for wine storage. If you want a more modern look, maybe for an open plan apartment type interior, then the Cookology design with the smaller window can blend into an open plan kitchen.

Here are the best wine coolers we have to offer: Swisscave WLB160DF - Dual Zone - Premium Wine ChillerWhite wines also have higher volumes of organic compounds, such as aldehydes and terpenes, which at lower temperatures can fill the head of the glass with the fruity aromas that can improve your wine drinking experience. This comes handy when you have a taller, wider bottle of wine for which you want to make room. Interior Lighting

For anyone seriously invested in wine, a wine fridge is more than a place to keep wine; it's a storage facility that can accommodate expensive or age-worthy bottles,” says Hannah Selinger, certified sommelier and James Beard Award-nominated journalist. “Even amateur wine lovers can benefit from moderate storage by protecting their everyday wine from damage.”Some of the more expensive wine coolers on the market will have three temperature zones. These allow you to store your soon-to-be-drunk reds and whites at serving temperature, and your collectibles at storage temperature. Where you place your wine fridge really comes down to personal preference and space in your home. To give you some inspiration, here are some popular placements that people often choose. The kitchen is the most popular, either freestanding or a countertop model. A bar area if you have one is a perfect place as well. The dining room, entertainment room, wine cellar, refurbished basement, living room, or if you have an outdoor entertainment room that’s heated like a garage or summer house.

For opened bottles, keeping white wine in a regular fridge for 3-7 days should be ok, but the taste of the wine will reduce the longer its kept open in the fridge. Fridges are too cold for unopened wines to be stored in the long term and they prevent wines from following the aging process which would take place in a wine fridge or wine cellar.If you're taking the time to buy and try a variety of wines, it's worth experiencing them at their best. Storing and serving wine can be a bit of a complex art, but if done correctly you can be sure of getting the best out of your bottles.

So, when it comes to getting your white wine ready to serve, it’s actually recommended that you place them in the fridge to reach the required temperature. Try not to move the bottle when you're opening and closing the fridge door or getting something from in the fridge, the less movement of the bottle, the better Strong and full-bodied red wines develop their aromas between 15°C - 18°C. Whilst, white wines require a slightly lower storage temperature between 11°C - 14°C. Rosé wines are stored optimally in a wine fridge at a temperature between 7°C - 12°C. Champagne is also stored along with the wine supply, and sparkling wines require a temperature between 5°C - 7°C.As a general rule, unopened wine will last longer than an opened bottle of wine in the fridge...but unopened wine can still go off and expire too. If you have a specialist wine fridge the conditions will have been designed to look after your wine at a stable temperature. You can place a wine refrigerator on top of a counter or table, next to a fridge or freezer, or even in your utility room, basement, or space for an under the stairs wine cooler. Because freestanding wine coolers are restricted by cabinet or counter space, they can vary in size, accommodating as little as 10 bottles to over 100 bottles. Wine coolers range from 15cm to 70cm in width. But most models tend to be around 60cm wide. Freestanding wine coolers Thankfully, unopened wine is good to drink long after its recommended expiry date just as long as the smell and taste don't cause any concern upon opening.
