Storing Wine In Wine Cellar Rooms

Despite what some companies call their products, a wine refrigerator is not the same as a wine cellar. The cellars exist as underground rooms, or sometimes even caves, which are used to store wine.

The location usually provides cool enough temperatures and other ideal conditions to allow the wine to age and last for a long time. Wine storage refrigerators, on the other hand, no matter how they try to control conditions on a small scale, do not really keep wine in good shape for much longer than a year.

So it might seem that never the twain shall meet, if not for a more recent type of storage setup with a foot in both the cellar and the refrigerator worlds.

What a wine room does is bring the long term storage abilities of a wine cellar above ground, using modern refrigeration methods to create the same conditions that have always made these cellars good places for long term storage.

A person can either choose from a prefabricated model or have one of these refrigerated wine cellars custom designed to fit into a corner of their basement or a large room of their home. It can be as decorative or utilitarian as they prefer.

If people have, or are planning to have a large collection of wine, yet can't add an extension to their home, then they don't necessarily need to settle for one of the compact wine refrigerators.

Instead, they can install an above-ground wine cellar, or wine room, which can be designed to fit the decor and existing construction of their home. The climate controls are there to ensure much better conditions for storing and aging wine than any wine fridge can promise.

Such a wine room takes the positive elements of a wine fridge and adds the superior qualities of a wine cellar, and creates an ideal compromise.
