Wine Rack Cabaret

Wine storage refrigerators are the latest must-have item for the high end luxury gourmet kitchen. The whole point of a wine storage refrigerator is to chill the wine to the exact temperature that is ideal for the wine to be served at. A wine storage refrigerator takes the guesswork out of finding the right serving temperature, because it does all the work for you.

Household Refrigerators

A standard kitchen refrigerator is wrong for storing wine. The kitchen refrigerator must be cold enough to preserve foods that have a short shelf life, like meat, dairy products, and eggs. Wine, on the other hand, has a long shelf life. Wine does not need to be chilled at temperatures as cold as are inside the typical home kitchen refrigerator.

What's more, the kitchen refrigerator is a bad place to store wine because the door is frequently opened and closed as people get snacks, prepare meals, and put away groceries. These door-opening events all create minor variations in the temperature throughout the day. Wine benefits from remaining at a consistent temperature 24/7, so having a dedicated wine storage refrigerator is preferable to storing wine in the kitchen refrigerator where the temperature is inconsistent.

Wine Storage Refrigerators

In addition to controlling the temperature, wine storage refrigerators also control humidity. The best temperature to store wine at is 55 degrees Fahrenheit, 13 degrees Celsius. A few wines taste better at temperatures even colder than this. The purpose of a wine storage refrigerator is to chill wine to the precise serving temperature recommended for serving that particular wine.

Red Wine

There is a common misconception among wine amateurs that white wine should be served chilled, and red wine should be served at room temperature. In fact, red wine should be served at a range from 59 degrees to 66 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 15 to 19 degrees Celsius. These temperatures are considerably lower than room temperature.

Sparkling Wine

Sparkling wine like champagne should be served at 43 degrees to 47 degrees Fahrenheit, 6 to 8 degrees Celsius. These wines are best served once they are fully chilled and should not be warmed up and cooled down repeatedly.

Storing Wine

Wine should be stored on its side if the wine bottle has a natural cork, so the cork will remain moist and slip easily out of the neck of the bottle when the wine drinker tries to remove it.

Wine storage refrigerators come in various sizes, with the size being stated in terms of the number of bottles of wine that the refrigerator will hold. Wine refrigerators can be purchased to hold as few as six bottles of wine, as many as 20 bottles, or, for commercial purposes, much larger refrigerators are available.
