Consistent Temperature And Humidity With Wine Cooler Refrigerators

You may already be aware that concerns about consistent temperature and humidity levels make wine cooler refrigerators much better for storing your wine than a regular kitchen fridge.

But these aren't the only considerations when you're shopping around for one of these appliances. Sometimes the actual design of such mini refrigerated cellars play a part as well, in keeping your wine in good condition and even safe from actual damage.

You also want to prevent vibrations and disruption of the sediment in the bottles, because shaking up the sediment could ruin the internal balance in the wine.

Thermoelectric wine refrigerators don't cool as efficiently as compressor-based models, yet they eliminate vibrations, so you'll need to weigh these two factors against each other.

If you're more concerned about temperature and therefore prefer wine cooler refrigerators that have compressors, then you should at least ensure that the storage compartment for the wine is isolated from the compressor compartment, and that the whole fridge is isolated from vibrations that may come from other appliances or cabinets in the kitchen.

Compact wine refrigerators also need to establish the best internal lighting conditions possible. Whether this involves tinted glass to keep UV light from getting at the wine, solid doors with no glass at all, or even LED lighting inside the cabinet itself, wine cooler refrigerators must be able to protect your wine from this subtle but potentially damaging problem.

You should look for a design that incorporates all of these different protective features, as every time you open a perfectly preserved bottle of wine at dinner, you'll be very glad did.
