There are different temperatures for different wines. It’s been noted that your dark red wines don’t have to be as cool as your champagnes and sparkling wines. One of the reasons for this is because some of the sparkling wines have more chemicals in them and therefore need lower temps to keep the quality of the sparkling wine or champagne in good condition. Also, some wine refrigerators have different temperature zones which is helpful. For example, one zone for red and one for white.

Then, double that amount. Take into account that some bottles of wine may be thicker than others and will take up more of your capacity. Look for shelves that can be rolled out because it will be easier to pull wine out and look at labels. Test the roll out feature in the wine fridge that you plan to buy to make sure that it glides easily and does not get stuck.

Look for a wine fridge that has aluminum insulation inside it. This will conduct cold and heat more efficiently than plastic lined units will. Textured and pebbled lining also maintains an ideal level of humidity.

Choose the type of door that you plan to have for your wine fridge. Wooden doors are better for insulation than glass doors. If you do like the style of glass doors, look for fridges that use a UV-protected finish because sunlight can cause wine to become damaged.

Often, wine refrigerators will have a slight vibration so it is important to stabilize your unit. Use racks that grip the bottles to prevent them from sliding out. Also consider mounting your unit on a rubber block. Some units come with these features so be sure to check if the model that you plan to buy has these features. In addition, many fridges have locks and alarms to protect your collection. Be sure to inquire about the special features that come with the units.
