When selecting a new wine cooler, you need to know what to look for in order to make a decision. Here we are trying to list some points that you need to consider before purchasing any wine storage appliance-

Storage capacity:  Storage capacity simply refers to the number of bottles you’ll need to store.

Obviously this number will be different for everyone, but when looking at your typical collection, you should make sure that the wine chiller you select is larger than your current inventory to accommodate growth.

Experts recommend people to buy wine refrigerators that are double the capacity they think they want, for example, if you’re looking for something that holds 10 bottles, then buying a 21-bottle cooler would be the right thing to do.

Apparently, experts say that this is because once you start enjoying chilled beverages; you’ll probably start keeping more bottles than you need.

Temperature settings and stability:  A quality unit will be stable at specific temperatures. Most wines that require refrigeration will deteriorate in quality unless a narrow temperature range can be maintained consistently.

The correct temperature range will vary from wine to wine. However, you can generally assume that most white wines, red table wines and sparkling wines should be kept at 42 to 60 degrees F.

Wide temperature swings will certainly compromise the taste of these wines and should be avoided.

If you select a wine cooler with a compartment, you have to rely on the cold air settling in the bottom of the fridge to define the temperature zones.

Of course everything is relevant to the price you pay, but having the ability to control different temperatures in separated, the individual sections are definitely preferable.

Most of the units today have the feature that you can store different bottles at different temperatures within the same cooler.

Energy consumption:  The amount of household appliances that use electricity is important when it comes to making sure that your bill is not too high. Larger wine refrigerators use more power than smaller fridges, although this may not always be true.

A very standard cooler with a capacity of thirty-five bottles can consume a smaller amount of energy than a cooler with twenty-one bottles if the smaller model has features such as defrosting options, more lighting, more cooling fans, and so on.

Price:  Wine coolers with larger capacities usually cost more than those with smaller capacities. Additional features such as lighting also influence the price of the cooler.

Noisy Level:  If the wine cooler is going to be near areas where there is a need to cool down, a noisy motor can cause problems. Noise levels will vary from model to model. Vibration levels were very low in most units.

However, according to consumer reports, the unit vibrates loudly which can affect the molecular density of alcohol.

External mount temperature controls:  Wine refrigerators, for the most part, are not very energy efficient. In addition, opening and closing cabinet doors to accommodate the thermostats or lighting can damage temperature stability while using more energy at the same time. Most models are now providing digital control with external mounts.

Integrated locking system:   If you have children or you worry about some of your guests an integrated locking mechanism should be a part of the cabinet you choose. This is a good feature for safety and peace of mind which is readily available on most models.

Water bins:   Specific humidity settings are necessary to preserve the label for long-term storage and to prevent the cork from drying out. Some models have water collection bins to collect condensation.

Check out the refrigerator lighting:   Display lighting is available with some coolers as a way of showcasing your collection. If you plan on making your wine refrigerator a focal point then display lighting will certainly highlight it in any room of the house.

Customer Service:   Exceptional customer service is an important consideration for purchasing such a wine fridge. Additionally, equipment needs to be repaired periodically. The convenience of being able to easily buy replacement parts online is a good benefit.
