5 Ways to Store Wine

Enjoying a properly ages bottle of wine is something that should be thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated. Regardless if you're a wine apprentice or wine specialist, how you choose to store your wine is an important factor that can enhance your wine's flavor. TheWineCooler.net has taken the mystery out of wine storage and explains the many different ways you can store your wine. We have wine coolers and wine refrigerators for every style and every budget.

Wine Cooler Refrigerators:
People wonder what the difference between storing wine in a normal kitchen refrigerator and a wine cooler is. Wine coolers are specifically designed to store wine at the proper temperature without variation. This is crucial because wine is very sensitive to heat and light. Traditional kitchen refrigerators temperatures can vary greatly getting as cold as 34 degrees Fahrenheit and not warmer then 40 degrees Fahrenheit. It is important to note for optimum taste white wines should be stored between 47-55 degrees Fahrenheit; while red wines should be stored between 55-50 degrees Fahrenheit, and rose wines should be stored at 49-51 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fortunately, there are wine coolers on the market for every specific situation. TheWineCooler.net team recommends you first consider the size of your collection when choosing a wine cooler. We offer cooling units that hold anywhere from 6 bottles of wine up to over 1,200 bottles. Wine collection size, price, design and style, and convenience are all things to consider when shopping for a wine cooler. Our team of experts is available to assist you with choosing the perfect wine coolers for your needs.

Built-In Wine Coolers:
Built-in wine refrigerators are ideal for installing under cabinets in kitchens, wet bar areas, and outdoor kitchens. These wine coolers are designed to be mounted into your cabinets and can be customized to fit any décor. Our built in wine chillers are the perfect addition to any kitchen, and are available in a variety of sizes and cooling zones. Built-in wine refrigerators are a great solution when space is limited, easily replacing an old appliance. Most built-in wine chillers are easily installed under standard cabinets.

Walk-In Wine Vaults:
An alternative to building a costly wine room is a walk-in wine vault. Traditionally, wine rooms can cost tens of thousands of dollars and requires contractors, permits, stucco, proper installation, HVAC technician and more; invest in a modular wine vault for a portion of the cost and headache. Our walk-in wine vaults include advanced Wine-Mate cooling systems, cellar trellis racking, and paneled walls. Be assured we are able to meet your needs with many customizable options to choose from: brushed aluminum side walls, computer controlled inventory systems, all Redwood racking, decanting racks, lights, security locks, x-bins, windows, and more. Our vaults are available from 750-2500 bottles.

Countertop Wine Coolers:
Countertop wine coolers are compact units that are ideal for kitchens, bar areas, and pantries. These wine refrigerators are great for daily use and generally fit anywhere from 6-28 bottles of wine. TheWineCooler.net offers an extensive selection of countertop wine coolers which feature cutting edge technology, including touch screen controls, LED & neon lighting, and multiple styles to fit any décor. Due to their lightweight design, countertop wine refrigerators are portable and easy to move from area to area. We have countertop wine coolers from quality brands, including Danby, Avanti, Koolatron, and Vinotemp. If you're new to wine and wine storage a countertop wine cooler is a great choice.

Free Standing Wine Coolers:
Free standing wine coolers are ideal for applications when sufficient space is available. Free standing wine coolers are fully functioning units; they do not need to be mounted into or onto anything. The WineCooler.net offers free standing wine coolers which feature multi-zone cooling, allowing for white, red, and rose colored wines to be stored in the same unit. Freestanding wine coolers are attractively designed to fit into any décor. Freestanding wine coolers are ideal if you have a growing wine collection or plan to store wine longer-term.

Outdoor Wine Coolers: Outdoor living is on the rise, which means people are entertaining and gathering outdoors more now then ever before. We wonder, what's not to love? Enjoying the outdoor sunshine with friends and family is enough to bring a smile to anyone's face. Equip your outdoor kitchen or patio area with a specially designed outdoor wine cooler. TheWineCooler.net offers an extensive collection of outdoor wine coolers that mirror many of the qualities of our indoor wine coolers. Outdoor wine coolers offer the same benefits of our built-in wine coolers, freestanding wine coolers, and countertop wine coolers, with a durable outdoor casing to protect the unit from normal outdoor elements.
