Wine Merchandisers Buyers Guide

Wine Merchandisers

A wine merchandiser, also known as a wine cooler or wine cave, is designed specifically for chilling wine to a perfect serving temperature. Since wine is best stored at certain temperatures, a wine cabinet is a must for anyone who appreciates fine wine. Generally, wine should be stored at approximately 46 - 55° Fahrenheit, but it will vary slightly depending on the type of wine being stored.

Wine refrigerators hold the wine at a constant temperature to prevent chemical reactions that could spoil the taste. Dark red wines should be stored between 59-66 degrees Fahrenheit, light red wines are best when stored around 55 degrees Fahrenheit, white wines should remain between temperatures of 46-57 degrees Fahrenheit, and sparkling wines and champagne taste best when stored between 43-47 degrees Fahrenheit. Regardless of the type of wine you will be storing, wine coolers are ideal for helping to preserve your investment.

These wine merchandisers feature either 1 or 2 doors, 2-10 slanted shelves, and can hold 36-260 bottles of wine. The unique shelves are slanted because wine should be laid on its side when storing to prevent the cork from drying up and shrinking, which would allow air to pass into the wine, causing the wine to ruin. The doors of these wine cabinets will protect bottles from odors and vibrations which can destroy the taste of your wine.

When wine is properly stored, the taste will improve with age, making a wine cooler an excellent investment for your home or business. These refrigerators will ensure that your wine keeps a fresh taste regardless of storage time, which, as any fine wine lover knows, is of great importance.
