The difference between refrigarators and professional wine-coolers

The difference between refrigarators and professional wine-coolers: The best environment to preserve wine is a place that has constant temperature and humidity, no sunlight, wind, and odor, while allowing a proper amount of airflow. Additionally, the wine needs to be stored sideways on a stable shelf, allowing the wine to make constant contact with the cork to maintain its ability to seal the bottle. Many people choose to use their refrigirators to store their wine. But it's the best to use a professional wine cooler.

　　There's a huge difference between Wine coolers and refrigirators：

　　1.　Accurate constant temperature: The best temperature to store wine is around 13℃，according to research, the ideal temperature is 12.8℃. Although certain refrigirators allow you to set a specific temperature, the actual temperature in the fridge is quite different than the set temperature. Often the temperature in the frige is unstable, making it difficult to ensure the correct temperature for your wine. Wine cooler's accurate compressor and temperaure controller allows the temperature to be more accurate and stable than the refrigirator.

(2) Ventilation and humidity regulation

If the humidity is not enough, the cork on the wine bottle will shrink or even dry out, which may cause trouble when opening the bottle, or lose its sealing function, which will cause air to enter, affect the fermentation of the wine, and make the wine taste bad.

If the humidity is too high, not only can mold grow on the bottle mouth, but also the wine label is easy to mold and fall off, which greatly reduces the image of the wine. The wine cabinet has a perfect ventilation system, through the difference between the temperature inside the wine cabinet and the outdoor temperature, so that moisture is generated in the wine cabinet, and the internal humidity can be appropriately increased. Refrigerators are far less specialized in ventilation and humidity regulation.

(3) Shock Absorption: Vibration will accelerate the speed of the chemical reaction of wine, which has a considerable impact on the ripening process of wine. There is a sophisticated anti-vibration compressor inside the wine cabinet, which works slowly and smoothly without direct contact with the main body of the wine cabinet, which greatly reduces various vibrations. The refrigerator does not have such sophisticated shockproof facilities, so sometimes when you put your hand on the refrigerator, you can feel the vibration generated by the engine.

(4) Avoid light: The ultraviolet rays in the light also have a great influence on the ripening and aging of wine. If exposed to strong sunlight for six months, it is enough to cause the wine to deteriorate. The professional wine cabinet has a double-layer UV-resistant glass door, which can effectively prevent light from damaging the wine.
