Why Specialized Wine Coolers Are Better For Your Wine Than Kitchen Refrigerators

By Steve Junto


Do you love wine? Do you consume lots of wine? Well, do you have several bottles laying around in your basement or kitchen fridge just waiting for you to drink them? If the answer is yes, then we recommend you should absolutely think about buying a wine refrigerator to store your best wines properly.

First off, lets look at why you should consider buying a wine cooler. First and foremost, a wine fridge will store wine at the optimal temperature. Did you know that most wine drinkers will store wine in their kitchen refrigerator, but that most refrigerators are actually too frigid for the wine? Yep, that's right. Most refrigerators are kept at less than 40 degrees, which is far too frigid for your wine, especially reds! For the most part, you'll want to preserve red wines between 50 - 60 degrees and white wines between 40 - 50 degrees.

Now that we understand the importance of investing in a wine cooler, lets examine what makes a quality wine fridge. The top wine coolers have a digital thermometer which allows you to more accurately set the internal temperature. This is extremely important for making sure your wine is stored in it's best environment. Also, many quality coolers are be built with a thermoelectric cooling system instead of a typical compressor. Thermoelectric units are much quieter, and also more convenient to have inside your home or business.

Wine refrigerators come in all shapes, sizes, and also prices. Some are designed to be built into kitchen cabinetry, while others are built as free standing units. You can even select a dual zone wine fridge which allow you to keep reds and whites at their own optimal temps. Dual zone fridges are usually the cooling units of choice for the serious wine enthusiasts.

There are a few vital questions you must think about before picking out your wine cooler. Before heading into a store or browsing online you must first think about what your requirements are. Will you be building the refrigerator into your kitchen cabinets? If so, you'll want a cooler with built in design. Will you be storing both reds and whites? If you will, then you'll want to pick out a dual zone fridge. Also, what is your price range? Prices range anywhere from around $75 to more than $1,000 and knowing what you're willing to spend will help you narrow down your selection right from the beginning.

There are many different retail outlets for you to look for wine coolers. They are specialty appliances, so they're not as common as a kitchen fridge, but by visiting the right stores both online and locally you'll be able to find a wide variety. We recommend visiting specialty appliance stores like Best Buy, Brandsmart USA, or Home Depot is bound to have a few for you to check out. Also,you might consider purchasing online. By shopping online you'll be increasing your selection of coolers to browse from.

We've found that some of the best wine fridges are made by EdgeStar. They have wine coolers of every type, size, and price. They're also built with sturdy materials, and look great in any home. We definitely recommend browsing their selection first.
