Wine cabinets

To ensure that good wine does not spoil and fully reveals its bouquet when served, it must be provided with certain storage conditions. In the old days, cellars, in which the optimal temperature and humidity were maintained, were the pride of their owners. Modern technologies allow you to create the necessary conditions at a given level even in an ordinary apartment. All that is required for this is to install a wine cabinet.

In the online store, you can order wine cabinets of various brands, which are an attribute without which it is very difficult to organize the correct maturation and storage of a precious drink at home. This is well understood by thousands of connoisseurs of first-class quality who prefer specialized equipment.

Each wine cabinet must guarantee the utmost careful storage. The following key parameters are taken into account:

  • Reliable protection from ultraviolet radiation.
  • Reinforced metal body that protects the contents of the cabinet from any mechanical damage.
  • Maintaining a constant temperature and humidity level (55-80%), ideal for preserving the properties and taste of wine.
  • Clean air inside the chamber, thanks to specialized filters.
  • The ability to adjust the temperature to a specific variety and its characteristics.
  • Silent operation without vibration, economical energy consumption.
  • It is permissible to use such wine cabinets for the basement or install them in the living room or kitchen. They can become a harmonious addition to any environment, providing first-class storage of a valuable drink.

The wine cabinet should be roomy. It is best to focus on 200 bottles. With moderate consumption, this is approximately how much a family of two drinks per year. And the collector has the opportunity to expand. For example, when they collect a vertical collection of several selected wines, they usually stock up on 3 bottles of each vintage. Experienced collectors choose the capacity of a wine cabinet as follows: multiply the calculated data by two.

A cabinet of average capacity can hold 100-150 bottles of wine. In terms of dimensions, such a wine cabinet corresponds to a refrigerator with a working volume of 250-300 liters. There are also compact models - for 10-20 bottles. These are the so-called "tabletop" wine cellars. However, there are also huge "wine storage" for several hundred bottles.

Freestanding wine cabinets predominate on the market. However, there are also built-in models of wine cabinets. Good wine "goes well" with cigars. That is why wine cabinets often have a special compartment - a "humidor" for storing tobacco products, as well as another additional one - for chocolate.

Single- or multi-zone systems are provided, as well as cabinets with completely separated work areas and their own adjustment. Some designs have wear-resistant blind doors. At the same time, most of the products are equipped with doors with double-glazed windows of increased strength, various indicators and internal lighting - very convenient for daily use. High-quality cabinets serve without interruption for decades.
