Product Information

We test wine coolers on their temperature accuracy and stability, cooling power, humidity control, energy efficiency, ease of use and cleaning, and noise. The following models are some of the very best we've tested. Alternatively, you could use the three zones to keep reds, whites and champagne all at serving temperature; champagne is best served a little cooler than white wine. What's the difference between a wine cooler and a wine cabinet? Over time, aromas, flavours and appearances of wine change and the majority of wines benefit from this ageing process but opened AND unopened wines can and do go bad even if they're stored in the fridge. How Long Does Wine Last In The Fridge? All our wine fridges and wine coolers ensure perfect storage conditions. They protect your precious bottles from light, maintaining a medium-low temperature between 10 and 16 C°. They also ensure constant humidity, allowing you to store your wines in horizontal positions. How does a Wine Fridge work? This compact, 6-bottle wine refrigerator by Vinotemp also uses the thermolectric cooling system which has the benefit of silent, vibration-free operation.

Exposure to oxygen is the main cause of wine going bad, so it's important to minimize exposure to air once the wine bottle has been opened. If you’re a frequent wine drinker and/or have a lot of extra space, opt for a larger fridge, but a smaller fridge might be perfectly fine for those who only need to store a few bottles and/or those who don't have much space to spare.

A great feature this fridge has is a UV resistant, tempered mirrored glass door which protects your wine as it chills. Alongside the chrome shelving, there is also space to stand open bottles of wine in this tiny fridge which is a nice bonus.

bottle wine fridges are around 145mm wide, which allows them to be positioned under counter between standard kitchen cabinets. This leaves approximately 2.5mm of space on each side of the unit to allow for sufficient ventilation and room for the door to open without obstruction. 6 Bottle Wine Fridges, Coolers & Chillers More About 6 Bottle Wine Coolers The double paned, tinted glass door ensures good thermal insulation and filters out UV rays that can be harmful to wines in case of long-term exposure.

There are some really attractive designs to choose from so you can end up with one that really fits into your home. The total capacity of your wine fridge is an important consideration and will affect how you use it. The number of wine bottles it can hold is a good place to start but it’s also worth considering the volume in liters as well. You also have to decide if you want to have an integrated wine cooler or a freestanding wine cooler.

Due to the low sugar levels in wine, bacteria struggles to grow as there is limited food (bacteria) to feed on. In addition, the alcohol content of wine makes the environment for bacteria to grow even more adverse and the cool temperature of a wine fridge help to manage this process to the benefit of the aging of the wine. 4 Ways to Tell Your Wine Has Gone Off? As they are freestanding, you can place them pretty much anywhere in your home or business and aren’t restricted by the counter or cabinet space. The main difference between a wine cooler and a wine fridge comes down to how long they are designed to store wine for.

Similarly, a wine cooler must provide the necessary ventilation of its precious contents. Similarly, keeping your reds in a kitchen cupboard for too long isn't the best option as over time as fluctuating temperatures can negatively impact the flavour and structure of your wine. What's more, reds are best served a bit cooler than room temperature. If you are keeping them in a cupboard or store room it's advisable to give them 15-30 minutes in the fridge prior to serving. To determine the best wine fridges, we specifically chose products from brands that were the most highly recommended in a large scale survey we conducted. This survey had 280 respondents, and asked questions pertaining to setup, portability, performance, durability, and overall value. We also asked respondents to identify their favorite and least favorite features of their fridge, and the most important feature they looked for when shopping for a wine fridge.
