Bottle Freestanding Wine Refrigerator


Although a kitchen refrigerator is very suitable for conserving dairy products, meat or vegetables, it is unsuitable for the storage of wines. The coldness and vibration will definitely have a detrimental effect on wine quality and taste. On the other hand, a wine bottle refrigerator is so designed as to preserve the different requirements of both red and white wines.

The kitchen refrigerator is designed to maintain the freshness of food. To meet this specification the refrigerator must drop the temperature to around 40 degrees, which is far too cold for wines. Wine bottle refrigerators lower their temperature at a slower rate to around 52-58 degrees, which is ideal for most wines. The refinement of some wine bottle refrigerators having two compartments means red and white wines can be stored at their correct temperatures.

Besides being very cold, the kitchen refrigerator removes humidity from its interior. This design allows the refrigerator to accommodate a wide range of perishable foods. Unfortunately this combination of coldness and lack of humidity can dry out corks and allow penetration of food odors that affect the taste of the wine.

The wine bottle refrigerator is designed to maintain a humidity level between 50-70%, which will block out unwanted odors and maintain wine quality. The correct layout in the interior allows the temperature and humidity to circulate around the bottles, simulating a cellar set up.

A wine refrigerator allows wines to be lain on their sides so that the corks will be kept moist so as to not dry out and shrink. With the wines also being stored in a vibration-free facility where the door will not be opened so frequently, the wines will maintain their quality and even improve in bouquet and taste as they age.

If you are a serious wine collector and have a need to store wines with different requirements, then consider a wine bottle refrigerator to guarantee wine preservation, taste and protection of your valuable investment.

Do You Need Wine Cellar Refrigerators?

What is the need for wine cellar refrigerators? Isn’t a normal refrigerator good enough?
Well, the answer is no. A typical refrigerator is fantastic when cooling items and even
keeping them fresh, as some of the advertisements proclaim. However, wine requires
something more than that. A wine collector can understand what we are trying to say
here.
Wine collection is an expensive process that requires a lot of time and expertise too.
However, simply buying a few bottles of wine and keeping them in the house is surely
going to ruin them and a collector will never have any of that. We have heard of those
mansions and chateaus that have those huge cellars that are used to preserve wines.
They are so large that they can lose a person within them. However, not everyone has
the luxury of affording those cellars. For them, wine cellar refrigerators are the other
option.
Wine cellar refrigerators are like normal refrigerators and look like that too.
Aesthetically designed, they can fit into the kitchen or the drawing room. Their work is
to preserve the wine, as cellars do. Wine cellar refrigerators allow the built in
condensation to re-circulate within them, thus maintaining the desired humidity to age
the wines. The thermostats of the wine cellar refrigerators maintain the right
temperature to mature the wines. All of them have multiple racks and each rack can be
adjusted to maintain a specific temperature, thus allowing different types of wines to
be stored.
Wine cellar refrigerators are ideal for wine collectors who don’t have their cellars. They
are also quite common in hotels and restaurants.
