Question

Temperature range of wine chiller refrigerators?

Answer 1

Wine is best stored at about 55 degrees Fahrenheit (13 degrees Celsius), but some wines taste better served at cooler temperatures. A wine refrigerator is intended to chill the wine to the correct temperature for serving

Rich, red, and full-bodied wines are best served between 59-66 degrees Fahrenheit

light red wines 55Fis a great temperature for both storing and serving these wines

Blush, rose and dry white wines are normally served between 46-57F (8-14C). If you will be using your wine refrigerator to chill them, you can choose the temperature you prefer. If using it both for storing and chilling, stay as close to 55F (13C) as possible.

Sparkling wines and champagne tend to taste best at 43-47F (6-8C). In this case you can set the wine refrigerator as such and simply consider drinking the champagne sooner rather than storing it for extended periods

Answer 4

Wine cellars are an important investment for the serious wine collector. Ideal temperatures for storing wine are between 50-55 degrees F with humidity at 70 degrees or slightly higher. The higher humidity helps keep the corks moist and reduces evaporation of the wine. Regular refrigerators are cooler than this and have lower humidity that will dry the corks and cause wine evaporation.

A good wine refrigerator will keep wines at a constant temperature of 50-55 degrees. They will also have little or no movement or vibrations from the motor, which could negatively affect the aging of the wine.

There are a wide variety of wine refrigerators and wine cellars to fit both your needs and your budget. This is a fantastic gift for wine lovers.
