Sure, you could just pop your white wine in your kitchen fridge or find a spot for your red under the stairs or on your worktop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, if you\u2019re serious about your wine, it could make sense to invest in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.invinic.com\/en\/accessories\/wine-coolers\">wine fridge<\/a>. After all, if you\u2019ve put all that time and effort into choosing wines which will age well, it would be terrible if you opened a bottle for a special occasion, only to find that <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.invinic.com\/en\/4-tips-how-to-keep-a-bottle-of-wine-after-it-has-been-opened\/\" target=\"_blank\">incorrect storage<\/a> has made your wine undrinkable. So what do you need to consider before taking the plunge and buying your own wine fridge?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Capacity<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the saying goes, size matters. Think about how much wine you want to store. Are you looking at wine for the odd dinner party, or starting a serious collection. Wine fridges which fit under your kitchen worktop generally carry around 40 bottles but if you\u2019re serious about buying wine as an investment, you will want to look at buying the largest fridge you can afford. Also, consider what type of wine you like because if you\u2019re opting for larger or thicker bottles, it goes without saying that you will be able to fit fewer in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Red, white or ros\u00e9?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have a favourite colour or do you drink white and your other half prefers red? As a general rule, whites and roses need to be stored at a lower <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.invinic.com\/en\/serving-wine-at-the-right-temperature\/\" target=\"_blank\">temperature<\/a> than reds. Too cold or too warm and the temperature can impair the taste of your wine. If you\u2019re opting for a state-of-the-art fridge, you\u2019ll find there are different temperature zones within your unit so you can store white at the bottom and your reds at the top. But, if you don\u2019t want to spend too much, you may have to make a compromise and bring your wine up or down to the right temperature before you drink it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Humidity<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For sure, it\u2019s becoming less common to have a cork in your wine these days, but some bottles still use this method. That\u2019s why humidity and not just temperature is important. If it\u2019s too dry, you\u2019ll find corks will dry out and won\u2019t form a proper seal anymore, but if it\u2019s too damp, you could get mould.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Shelf life<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking at an entry-level fridge, you\u2019ll tend to find they have fixed shelving. But more expensive models are likely to have shelves you can roll out or adjust so you can change the configuration depending on what type of wine and shape of bottles you have in your collection.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>To see or not to see<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A stylish wine fridge can not just store your wine correctly, but change the look of your kitchen or dining room. But, even though they look great, think about whether you really want glass doors. They don\u2019t insulate as well as solid doors and could let sunlight in depending on where they\u2019re positioned. If you really want to show off your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.invinic.com\/en\/how-to-clean-wine-coolers\/\" target=\"_blank\">collection<\/a> and, let\u2019s face it, who wouldn\u2019t, then check if the glass is UV-protected.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Where?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might think that if you have a wine fridge, you can put it anywhere and it will retain the inside temperature. But you should really try to store it where the room temperature doesn\u2019t change too much, so try to avoid putting your collection in the garage which can be subject to extremes of heat and cold.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cost<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It goes without saying that cost is a factor. You can pay as little as a hundred pounds or euros to the price of a small car for a wine fridge. You can even have a bespoke wine fridge made to perfectly fit under your stairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing the ideal <strong>wine fridge<\/strong> is all about what\u2019s right for you, what you drink and who you drink it with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[cta_generico id=2584]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sadly, not many of us live in homes with a cavernous cellar to stock all our favourite tipples in.
