Wine Coolers

Even a novice wine drinker would know that keeping the bottles at the right temperature can make all the difference in the aroma and flavour. And, your standard refrigerator can’t keep up with that. A one-time investment in a wine cooler is much better than throwing your expensive bottles.

Wine coolers are one of the specially designed wine accessories to store your wine bottles. That means they have a special temperature zone, racks, sideways storage, compatible manufacturing materials, and technologies that go with it. Traditionally, they were homemade and distributed since the early 1980s. But slowly technology came into the picture, and we have a tech-driven version today. If you are looking for the right product, we suggest understanding the specifications first because many different technologies are going to bug you in the end.

Wine storage basics

Wine without its natural surroundings will taste like drinking vinegar. Thus, you need to protect your wine bottles from three big enemies. These are light, temperature, and vibrations.  Too much sunlight or artificial light can make your wine a cooked flavour wine, which you won’t appreciate at all. The all-around best temperature for wine is 55 degrees, and maintaining a steady temperature is crucial to let them age well. Also, if your bottles move too often, sediments inside them spread throughout the bottle and change the flavour. Keeping these enemies in mind, you need to choose the best wine coolers to buy.

Dual-zone wine cooler

Red wine, white wine, and sparkling wines all have their temperature needs, and thus the concept of temperature zones. In this context, you will get two zones: a single-zone cooler and a dual-zone cooler. As it is pretty much clear with the titles, the single zone maintains one temperature all over the fridge when you set it up. However, dual-zone can have different temperature inside one unit. That means you can store red wines on top at a mild 60 degrees and white wines, at 50 degrees down below. At our product search engine , you can search these and buy dual zone wine cooler online in UAE. There is another invention called multiple zone wine coolers, in which you can also store your champaigns at 40 degrees, port wines at 57 degrees, syrahs at 64 degrees, and many others.

Thermoelectric wine cooler

The technology behind your wine coolers can either be thermoelectric or compressor. Both have their pros and cons, but thermoelectric is prevalent nowadays because it is a silent worker as compared to the thuds of compressor systems. Also, these are environmentally safe as the components of a thermoelectric system are not dangerous to the environment, unlike the greenhouse emission of their counterparts. However, there are advantages to the other side as well as the compressor system reaches cold temperatures, and cool consistently in warm climates. They also provide more storage room. So, it is up to you to weigh the advantages and disadvantages before buying. We have some wine coolers for sale if you would like to see them.

Built-in wine fridge

The built-in model has the advantage that it gives you many options for placement and blends in your kitchen accent smoothly. However, there are models of MagicChef’s brand that provides the versatility of both the function: built-in and freestanding. That means you can place the unit under the counter or also as a standalone unit. The basic difference between the two is that built-in units have their vent in the front and standalone units have their vent in the back.
