Find the Best Wine Refrigerator for your home

To keep your favorite wine cool and fresh for years we recommend buying a wine refrigerator. There are many shape sizes and benefits of each. The important thing to keep in mind is to find the right one to fit your needs and your home.

A Wine Refrigerator to fit your home

Determine how much space you have in your home. There are models that fit under the counter, large standing ones, and even smaller under counter refrigerators. Buy one that fits your home and decor.

Buy a Wine Refrigerator large enough to fit all your bottles

Since you are investing in storing your favorite wines, make sure to buy a cooler that will fit all your bottles. If you only keep a few bottles on hand, then an smaller under the counter or counter top cooler will be large enough. If you have larger collections of bottles, then definitely get a larger one. You may also want to consider a larger one for the basement or storage and a smaller one for immediate access in the kitchen.

A Wine Refrigerator to store both red and white wine

If you can afford, and depending on your selection of wine, it may be a good idea to buy a dual zone or dual door refrigerator. These refrigerators allow to store red wine at the optimal 55 degrees and white wine at a cooler 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Energy efficient Wine Refrigerators

There are wine refrigerators that are energy efficient. Look for a Energy Star appliance if you can find one, or compare the energy usage. Thermoelectric wine coolers are good because there is no compressor and thus reduced vibration. Shaking the wine bottles by storing them in a vibrating cooler will ruin the wine and it will not store as long. Even though coolers will maintain a constant interior temperature, it is still recommend to store the wine refrigerator out of direct sunlight and in a part of the house that has a constant temperature. This will prolong the life of the wine refrigerator and your favorite wines.
