How to Choose The Best Wine Fridge For Your Home?
Wine is a natural and delicate product. Like the
fruits it is made from, the wine will go bad if
it is not stored properly. When wine is spoiled,
the compounds that make up its complex aromas and
flavours decompose, leaving something that
tastes more like vinegar than wine. In order to
prevent this from happening, wine must be
preserved from three great enemies ultraviolet
rays, extreme temperatures, and
vibrations. Light UV rays can damage wine the
same way they damage your skin. Too much sunlight
will cause the delicate compounds in your wine
to break down, leaving you with a wine that
doesn't taste as it should. Experts describe it
as a "cooked" taste. Keeping wine in protective
storage that minimizes exposure to sunlight and
artificial light is key. Temperature The best
wine storage temperature is 55 degrees, which is
more or less the same as the temperature of the
year under the ground. The caves and royal
cellars were the original wine storage facilities
in the days before refrigeration because they
made it easy to keep the wine at these
temperatures. When wine is kept at 55 degrees,
the ageing process is slowed down significantly,
so there is no need to worry about the loss of
colour, flavour or aroma. Vibrations The wines
have a small amount of sediment in each bottle.
If the wine is moved too often, that sediment
can be agitated and spread throughout the bottle,
where it causes chemical reactions that change
the taste of the wine. If the sediment is
present when you pour it, it also ruins the
mouthfeel when you take a sip. The wine should
be kept as still as possible and protected from
excessive vibrations of the appliances.

An ideal wine serving temperatures Another
reason to consider a wine cooler is to make sure
your wine tastes better when it is ready to
drink. While the ideal temperature to store wine
is 55 degrees, the best temperature to serve it
is another story. Wines can be divided into
three basic categories when it comes to serving
temperatures Red wines Traditionally, red
wines are served at room temperature. Today's
houses are kept much warmer than they were in
the past, so this really means between 60 and 65
degrees. White wines White wines typically
taste better chilled, but not so cold that you
cannot distinguish the delicate flavours. They
should be served between 50 and 60
degrees. Sparkling wines Carbonated drinks are
at their best when served as cold as possible.
For champagne and other sparkling wines, 40
degrees will be sufficient. A kitchen fridge of
38 degrees is too cold for any wine, but a
dedicated wine cooler or a dual-zone wine cooler
keeps the wine at the right temperature to make
the most of its flavour when it is ready to be
drunk.
How to install and maintain your wine
cooler? Once you have chosen the perfect wine
cooler to keep all those bottles of red and white
wine perfectly chilled, make sure you know how
to take care of it. Proper installation and
maintenance will keep your cooler running
efficiently for years. Choose the best
place Place your wine cooler on a hard, flat and
stable surface for best results. Carpet should be
avoided whenever possible, but if you must place
your cooler on the carpet, buy a plastic mat to

• stable base and catch any leaks or drips. Keep
  your wine cooler out of direct sunlight and in a
  room where the temperature is stable to help it
  function efficiently.
• Check the drip tray
• Almost all wine coolers have a small pan or tank
  that traps excess water. Excess water is not a
  problem, it's just the condensation coming out
  of the cooler to evaporate. Occasionally, water
  can collect in the drip pan, which can cause a
  musty smell or, on rare occasions, an overflow of
  water on the floor. Check the drip tray and dump
  the excess water to stop problems before they
  start.
• Troubleshooting Condensation Problems
• All coolers create condensation due to the
  difference in temperature between the inside and
  outside. Usually, excess moisture is not a
  problem, but sometimes condensation can form on
  the inside of your refrigerator. If this
  happens, try adding an open box of baking soda or
  silica beads to absorb the excess moisture.
• Keep it clean
• Keeping the wine cooler clean, inside and out, is
  one of the most important ways to make sure it
  works well. Follow these steps to give your
  appliance a thorough cleaning once a year
• If possible, unplug and/or turn off the wine
  refrigerator before cleaning to avoid electric
  shock.
• Gently remove wine bottles, keeping them aside
  while moving them to a safe place. Keep them in
  the same position to avoid shaking the sediments.
• Carefully remove the shelves or racks and clean
  them with a damp cloth. Microfiber is a great
  choice, just like an old cotton T-shirt.
• Wipe the inside with the damp cloth as well.
• If the inside of the refrigerator smells musty or
  you can see visible mold, get rid of the mould
  with a damp cloth soaked in white vinegar or a
  110 solution of bleach and water. Allow the
  refrigerator to air out for several hours.
