Wine Storage Coolers 

Wine storage coolers are designed to chill and hold bottles of wine at a particular temperature – the ideal serving temperature – until the wine can be served.

Storing your wine in a wine cellar or wine storage cooling cabinet is the proper way to store your wine.

For a dinner party or any other special occasion, you will bring out the wine you plan to serve that night from the cellar. Setting the proper temperature on the wine storage cooler will enable you to serve the wine at the idea temperature. When its time to eat your meal then the wine will be at the perfect temperature.

Unlike wine that is stored in a standard kitchen refrigerator, the wine in a wine storage cooler will not undergo inconsistent temperature fluctuations every time a family member opens the refrigerator door to grab a snack or a beer.

Recommended Temperatures

Fifty nine to sixty six degrees Fahrenheit is the recommended serving temperature for a red wine. The wine storage cooling temperature of 55 degrees is the recommended storage temperature for red wine.

White wine or dessert wines are normally stored at a temperature of forty six to fifty seven degrees Farhrnheit.

Sparkling wine and champagne have the best taste when served at a temperture between forty three to forty seven degrees Fahrenheit.

Wine will taste the best if stored properly in a wine storage cooler. Many wine storage cooler owners report that they were surprised when they first started to drink wine cooled to the proper temperature, because the proper temperature brought out nuanced flavors in the wine that were not otherwise obvious to the wine drinker.

Sizes Of Coolers

Wine storage coolers come in a wide variety of sizes. Sizes are measured by the number of standard wine bottles the cooler will hold. Six bottles of wine are about the limit for the smallest coolers. A cooler that is about the size of a standard kitchen refrigerator will hold approximately 20 bottles of wine.

You might consider building your wine cooler into existing kitchen cabinetry. Many of the coolers fit underneath a kitchen countertop, so a base cabinet unit or a drawer stack can be moved to make way for the wine cooler. The smallest coolers fit easily on top of a counter, where they are accessible for serving throughout the meal. The cooler is then moved back to another less noticeable part of the kitchen.
