Wine Refrigerators : keeping your wine cool and in the
best conditions
Wine refrigerators were first available in the mid 1930’s in the United States
and England. They were once a possession of the wealthy, but now they are more
economically accessible. The refrigerators cool wine at an acceptable
temperature to enhance the wine experience. These wine refrigerators may have a
storage unit and storage drawers. They can be made of wood or steel, and the
system has temperature control which is touch pad and also has perfect humidity.
Temperature control can be dual which lets the owner control the temperature in
the compartments. The compartments’ temperatures range from 38 degrees
Fahrenheit to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The shelves may be designed to display the
bottles with lighting. The lighting is soft, and there may be a lock, a service
light indicator, and a home security system connection. The door may be solid,
glass, or high altitude glass. The drawer handles may be platinum or stainless
steel.
Wine refrigerators come in different sizes. The shelves ensure that the wine is
placed properly and that the corks touch the wines. The door glass can be tinted
so ultraviolet light exposure is limited, and the doors have tight seals. There
is a venting system on the front for air flow. Refrigerators can be for private
wine drinkers or businesses that deal in wine. The refrigerator should not be
noisy, full of odors, or prone to vibrations. It should be insulated so in case
of a power outage, the wine will be chilled for a certain amount of time. Wines
can be shelved by categories such as whites and reds. The right humidity level
is between 70 and 75 percent. Too high humidity means decaying labels, and too
low humidity means the corks will dry out. The refrigerator can be a lovely
furniture piece as well as a means to ensure that the wine will have the right
conditions.
