What is a wine cooler?
Did you know the ideal temperature for storing wine is 10 °C? It’s crucial to store wine correctly, and if like most people you don’t have access to your own wine cellar, the next best thing is a wine cooler. These sleek refrigeration units look great in any setting, but what is a wine cooler and why should you consider adding one to your home?
What is a wine cooler?
A wine cooler, also referred to as a wine fridge, is a compact refrigeration appliance that can be placed on, or under, a counter and is designed to store and chill bottles of wine at the perfect temperature.
Unlike a standard refrigerator, which operates at anywhere between 3°C and 5°C, wine coolers are specifically designed to maintain the wine at serving temperature, which is around 10°C.
Most wine fridges have a minimum ambient operating temperature of 0°C and a maximum of 10°C, allowing users to adjust the temperature to the specific needs of their wine.
Why do wine coolers make a great addition to your house?
Whether you’re looking for a way to store your wine in optimum conditions or simply want to elevate the look and feel of your space, wine coolers are a great addition to any home.
Not only does a dedicated wine cooler free up space in your refrigerator, but it also provides a more consistent temperature and humidity level to preserve the colour, flavour, and quality of your wine.
Instead of desperately trying to fit your wine next to milk cartons or squishing it between food in your refrigerator, wine coolers allow you to conveniently store and organise your wine collection.
How popular are wine coolers?
The popularity of wine coolers has been on the rise in the UK since the pandemic, which saw a spike in sales as people spent more time at home and developed an interest in wine culture.
With more people than previously before discovering wines from around the world during this period, a demand for affordable and space-saving storage solutions has increased.
Wine coolers can now be found not just in bars and restaurants but also in households across the country, used by casual wine drinkers and serious wine connoisseurs alike.
How much are wine coolers?
The cost of wine coolers will vary depending on the size, capacity, features and brand.
More compact tabletop models can be purchased for anywhere between £100 and £150, while larger, under-counter models will cost slightly more.
The price of a wine cooler can vary from hundreds to thousands depending on the features you require, but investing in a quality wine cooler is a wise decision for any wine lover.
