Temperature

The temperature of a wine fridge is important to consider as it can impact the taste of stored wines. Experts suggest storing your wine at a temperature of 55 degrees. This is the same temperature at which the earth naturally stores its soil at, and will keep your wine at a safe temperature without compromising taste or texture.

The ideal temperature for storing 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, are best when they're between 63oF and 64oF (17oC to 18oC), whereas lighter white wines such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are more enjoyable at 52oF to 55oF (10oC-14oC).

It is essential to use an external thermometer regularly to check the temperature of your wine, regardless of type. Do not open the wine refrigerator frequently to avoid changes in temperature that could alter the flavor and smell of your bottles.

Installation

Installing your new wine refrigerator is a breeze once you've found a suitable location and determined the power requirements. Before you begin, take out any items in the cabinet that could block your refrigerator or interfere with its performance. This will let you measure the space accurately, and ensure that your wine refrigerator is properly sized. A few tools are required to complete this task, such as measuring tape, a screwdriver and shims, as well as a drill or jigsaw to assist in drilling holes when needed.

Make sure the location where you're placing your fridge has adequate ventilation. This will allow the cool air to circulate and maintain the same temperature throughout the cabinet. Avoid placing the cabinet in direct sunlight or in proximity to heat sources such as radiators. They can increase temperatures inside and cause damage to your wines. It's recommended to keep your wine cooler from humid areas, since excessive moisture could cause mold or mildew growth and impact the quality of your wine.

Built-in wine coolers have a vent on the front, making them a popular option to fit into cabinets. However, if you're using a wine cooler that is freestanding, it's important to remember that the vent is at the back and will require adequate space to work properly. If the vent is blocked, it will have to do twice as hard to control its internal temperature, and will require more energy than it needs to.

To prevent this, ensure that any plinths and skirting boards around your unit aren't blocking the grille on the front. Also be aware of any gaps on the sides and bottom as warm air can escape through these tiny gaps. If you do have a skirting board across the front of your wine cooler, ensure that there is a grille to ensure that the refrigerator can still draw in cool air.
