Is a 7 Bottle Built In Wine Fridge Right For Me? Of all the refrigeration appliances, costs of wine coolers varies the most, so there really is something to suit every budget. When deciding how much to pay, you should be guided by how expensive your wine collection is. White wines are best served at a temperature somewhere between 7-11°C, depending on the grape variety (or varieties) that the wine has been made from. The lower temperature helps accentuate the acidity, enhancing the freshness and crispness associated with a really good white. The reason why this is important is that wine needs to be stored at a certain temperature range to maintain its flavour and avoid it going bad. A dry full-bodied red wine will require a different temperature zone than a complex and sweet white wine. And using the electronic temperature control will help you adjust this. If you are someone who simply likes to keep 5-8 of your favourite bottles to hand, or you are just starting out in the world of wine collecting, a small bottle capacity 150mm wine fridge may be a great choice for you.

The unit type you choose should depend entirely on the kind of wine you are going to be storing. For example, if you are someone whose collection solely consists of white wine, a single zone cooler may be the better choice for you. On the other hand, if you are someone whose collection consists of a range of reds and whites, you will need to consider purchasing a dual zone unit. How Do I Install My 7 Bottle Integrated Wine Cooler? By choosing such a narrow unit, you will only have enough space for one cooling zone, and so, if you want to store both red and white wine (or sparkling/rose/champagne), then you will need a dual zone wine fridge instead. Where is your wine cooler going to be located? This will help you choose between a freestanding, built-in or integrated wine cooler. You can read more about wine cooler types in the next section. Serving wine at the correct temperature can greatly improve its flavour. A wine cooler will allow you to keep your wines at the right serving temperature so you can take them off the shelf and drink them immediately. There are actually some very good reasons why wines are served at different temperatures. If your collection includes reds and whites, then you will want a dual-temperature-zone wine cooler.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?

Having a wine cooler with a 7-bottle capacity will help you to organize and store your wine collection better, ensuring that each bottle is kept in a suitable environment that preserves its quality. Humidity controls: if a wine is exposed to low levels of humidity for an extended period it can dry out the cork. This can allow air into the bottle, which can ruin your wine. Humidity controls allow you to manage the amount of moisture in the air inside the wine cooler, helping to ensure the integrity of the cork.

This slight overlap of features and functions can lead to confusion when deciding whether to opt for a wine cooler or cabinet. Technically, a wine fridge should be used to store wine for longer periods of time. They’re engineered to provide perfect temperatures and humidity levels for wine that is being stored for years, even decades, to mature. They tend to be bigger and can also be more decorative – the cost of luxury wine can make them a display item and they’re usually reserved for posh restaurants.

ART29640 Product Overview

Despite their narrow and slim appearance, 7 bottle wine coolers are available with various innovative features. These features not only work to make your life easier, but they also help to ensure your wine is constantly protected from the sorts of environmental threats that are known to cause oxidization and flavour degradation. If you do opt for a freestanding model, you should keep it where the ambient temperature doesn't fluctuate too much – so not in the garage. Basically, the same considerations you would apply to positioning a standard refrigerator also apply to a wine cooler. Built-in wine coolers Our wine cooler features wooden shelves that provide a sturdy and stable surface for your wine bottles. The shelves are designed to accommodate different bottle sizes, from standard wine bottles to larger champagne bottles. The wooden shelves also add an elegant touch to the wine cooler, making it a beautiful addition to your home décor.
