Temperature

The temperature of the wine refrigerator is a crucial factor to consider, as it influences the taste of wines that are stored in the. Experts recommend storing your wine at 55 degrees.

The ideal temperature to store and serve red or white wine is dependent on the type of wine you're serving. Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, which are full-bodied red wines, taste best at 63oF to 64oF (17oC to 18oC) while lighter white wines like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are more enjoyable at 52oF to 55oF (10oC-14oC).

Regardless of the type of wine coolers and refrigerators you're keeping, it's a good idea to regularly check the temperature using a thermometer that is external to ensure consistency. It is also important to avoid opening the wine refrigerator too frequently to prevent drastic temperature fluctuations, which can alter your bottle's flavor and aroma.

Wine coolers are available in dual-zone and single models, with single zones being the most affordable and ideal for long term storage of all wine.

Installation

After you've found a suitable area for your new wine fridge and verified its power requirements then it's time to put it in place. Before starting, you must remove any objects from the cabinet that could obstruct your refrigerator or interfere with its performance. This will allow you to measure the space precisely and ensure that the wine cooler is positioned correctly. This procedure requires basic tools, such as a screwdriver and measuring tape. You will also need shims, a drill, or a jigsaw, to drill holes if needed.

Make sure that the space in which you plan to install your refrigerator has enough ventilation. This allows the cool air to circulate and maintain a consistent temperature throughout your cabinet. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or next to heat sources, such as radiators, as these may increase the temperature inside and cause damage to your wines. It's recommended to keep your wine cooler away from humid environments, as excessive moisture can cause the growth of mildew or mold and affect your wine's quality.

Built-in wine chillers have vents in the front. This makes them a popular choice for fitting into existing cabinetry. However when you're using an outdoor wine cooler, it's important to keep in mind that its vent will be located on the back and will require a sufficient space to function properly. If the vent is blocked, it will need to exert twice as much effort to maintain its internal temperature and will require more energy than it needs to.

To prevent this, ensure that any plinths and skirting boards surrounding your unit aren't blocking the grille on the front. You should also be mindful of any gaps that may exist on the sides or bottom, because warm air can escape through these small openings. If you do run a skirting board across the front of your wine cooler, ensure that there is a grille to ensure that the refrigerator can continue to draw cool air.
