Make Room For Your Wine Collection
Wine needs to be stored in a particular way to preserve its integrity. Sadly not everyone does it correctly, and their wine collection suffers as a result.
Below we’ll take a look at how to keep wine, so we get the most out of it each and every time.
1. Refrigerate Your Bottles
Forget about leaving bottles in cardboard boxes. And veer away from using a normal refrigerator to chill wines too. A high quality wine deserves to be treated more kindly. That’s why a purpose-built wine cooler such as the danby dwc166blsrh is great.
True, a fridge that holds 166 wine bottles might be far larger than your needs require. That’s why there are smaller versions that provide the same great benefits.
2. Check Heat Emissions From Lighting
When you select a wine cooling refrigerator, do a quick check on the interior lights. And what are you looking for? The fact is that many incandescent light bulbs produce ‘hot zones’ in the fridge. And these can affect the wine.
On the other hand, you can maintain a cool temperature using LED lights instead. With units like the dwc166blsrh, the lights are actually blue LEDs, which create very little heat at all. Keep in mind, it’s not good if the lights are causing your wine collection to warm up.
3. Separate Temperature Zones
Most people are aware that various wines are best kept at a range of varying temperatures. The most obvious difference is in how white and red wine bottles need to be stored.
This is greatly simplified using a system like the danby silhouette 166. That’s because it’s a dual zone wine cooler. It maintains two different regions within the fridge, each having a separate temperature control. This way, you can store your red and white bottles at their optimum coolness levels.
Use the tips above and your wines will thank you for them.
