Choosing to Have a wine refrigerator in the home is a decision that will make your life much more convenient, to the point that you may wonder how you got by without one. They come in many different sizes and levels of quality, however, so you need to be smart when deciding which kind of wine refrigerator to get.

Start by determining the size you need. They range from one bottle coolers to wine refrigerators that can hold more than one case. You should also think about where you will be putting it.

The next thing you should consider is your budget. For temporary storage, the less expensive, smaller, thermoelectric options work fine. Larger, more expensive, compressor driven wine refrigerators are better for long term storage.

If you are considering a thermoelectric wine refrigerator, it will be best to keep it in a dark, cool area of your home. Most of these will only be capable of cooling the wine to about twenty five degrees under room temperature. The main issue to consider with these types of wine refrigerators is keeping the wine at a constant temperature. As the room temperature changes, so will the temperature in the wine cooler.

If you are buying the unit for the kitchen, it is probably best to start with a thermoelectric cooler for six to sixteen bottles of wine. Make sure that the return policy on the unit is great. It may be surprising to realize this, but some wine refrigerators will not come back on if the power goes out. Make sure you test the machine to make sure that it will. Always keep your receipt. The quality of wine refrigerators can vary wildly, even within units that are of the same make and model. Even if everything seems to be working out just fine, hold on to your receipt and packaging.

If you are looking for something to store a wider selection of wines, you may want to consider a much larger, compressor driven wine refrigerator. These can easily fit about fifty bottles of wine. These options work best in a garage or basement because they are so large. The nice thing about them is that they hold the wine temperature at a constant.

How to purchase a wine refrigerator.?

One of the best additions that anyone could make to their home bar or kitchen would be to install a wine refrigerator. A wine refrigerator can hold several bottles of wine at varying degrees. Not only does this allow you to serve wine at its ideal temperature, but a wine refrigerator is also very aesthetically appealing. While a wine refrigerator can be a great addition, knowing how to purchase the right one for your situation is quite important. The first factor to consider when looking to purchase a new wine refrigerator is the size of the refrigerator. Wine refrigerators come in a wide variety of sizes, which capacity ranging from just a few bottles up to over 100 bottles. Since the size has a huge impact on overall cost, you need to consider your situation carefully. If you just need storage for a few bottles, a small countertop wine refrigerator would be fine. However, if you are a collector of wine and need excess storage, then a larger wine refrigerator will be needed. The second factor to consider when looking to purchase a new wine refrigerator is how many temperatures the wine refrigerators can be set at. Each type of wine requires different temperature settings. Most red wines need to be in a temperature of around 70 degrees while white wines need to be chilled around 40 degrees. If you are storing a wide variety of wines, then you should look for a wine refrigerator that has multiple compartments and temperature setting options. More expensive refrigerators may have more than a dozen settings, which will give you the greatest flexibility in storing your wine at the right temperature. The third factor to consider when looking to purchase a new wine refrigerator is where the refrigerator will be stored. Like all refrigerators, wine refrigerators tend to be quite bulky. While a small refrigerator can fit comfortably on a countertop, larger refrigerators will need as much room as a standard kitchen refrigerator. To add some additional style to your kitchen, you may be able to have a carpenter build a medium sized wine refrigerator directly into kitchen your cabinetry.
