How To Explain Wine Cooler Fridge To Your Grandparents

How to Install an Undercounter Wine Cooler Fridge

If built-in into cabinets or freestanding, undercounter wine cooler fridges make a great addition to your home bar or entertainment area. There are additional features like a reversible door, wavy chrome shelves, interior LED lighting, and much more to ensure that your bottles are at the ideal serving temperature and storage temperature.

Choose a bottle with a single zone if you have a modest or small collection. They come with a divider which keeps red wines at a lower temperature than white wines, however they reduce the capacity of the bottle overall.

Capacity

Keep bottles chilled for guests with wine coolers from the KitchenAid brand. There are models that can be placed under a counter or into cabinets already in use, and have capacities ranging from a few bottles to several bottles. Many wine fridge cooler refrigerators feature dual temperature-controlled zones so you can store red and white wines at their optimal serving temperatures. Some models also have reversible doors to allow for flexible installation options and LED interior lighting that helps you find the wine you're looking for.

Other options to consider include locks for doors and an optional stainless steel backsplash that can aid in creating a unique, professional look. Our range of built-in wine refrigerators is available in a variety of finishes, including black and panel-ready to fit any space. You'll also find beverage centers and wine cellars that can be used to store snacks, drinks and ingredients for cooking meals.

If you're a snob at wine, it's important to assess your wine collection prior to choose the capacity of the new wine fridge that you can put under your counter. You can choose a model with enough space for your requirements by determining the number of bottles you have and how often you entertain.

Temperature

The temperature of a wine refrigerator is an important aspect to consider as it can affect the taste of the wines stored inside. Experts suggest storing your wine at a temperature of 55 degrees. This is the temperature at which the earth stores its soil. It will keep your wine secure, without compromising taste or texture.

The ideal temperature to store and serve red or white wine is dependent on the type of wine you're serving. Full-bodied red wine such as Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon tastes best when stored at 63oF-64oF (17oC-18oC) While lighter styles of white wine like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are best kept at 52oF to 55oF (10oC-14oC).

Whatever type of wine you're keeping, it's a good idea to regularly check the temperature using a thermometer that is external to ensure consistency. Avoid opening the wine and beverage refrigerator fridge too often to prevent temperature fluctuations that can change the taste and smell of your bottles.

Wine coolers are available in dual and single-zone models, with single zones being the most budget friendly and ideal for long-term storage of all wines. Dual-zone wine refrigerators allow you to store various types of wine in separate areas at their optimal temperature, which is great if you have a mix of unique wines.

Look for wine and beverage refrigerators that have UV-protected glass doors that help filter harmful UV radiations that could damage your wine over time. You can also find refrigerators that come with a variety of finishes, including stainless steel. This will seamlessly blend into your kitchen wine fridge, and complement other appliances thanks to its sleek, timeless appearance.

Design

A wine refrigerator is freestanding or built-in. Built-in wine refrigerators can be installed on top of the counter or within existing cabinetry. They are available in black, stainless steel, and black smoked finishes. They are available in a range of capacities for bottles and can provide multiple temperature zones, which allows you to keep white wines at a cooler temperature for serving, and red wines at their ideal storage temperature.

Built-in wine refrigerators can be an elegant feature in any kitchen or used in a home office, bar area, or in a den. The cabinets are usually large enough to hold larger bottles, and allow you to keep your preferred wines on hand for entertaining or everyday enjoyment.

Sub-Zero wine storage refrigerators are designed to protect wine from the most frequent threats to its quality: vibrations as well as temperature and humidity fluctuations and temperature fluctuations. They have dark opaque glass that reduces UV exposure, dampening engineering wards off vibration; and dual evaporators ensure consistent moderate humidity. The refrigeration system is energy efficient and offers two temperature-controlled zones, ensuring your wines are precisely preserved.

Coolers and beverage centers are great to store beer, wine and other beverages. They can be a convenient storage solution for water, beer or other drinks while keeping them cool and ready to serve. These models are available in single or dual drawers, and are integrated or concealed under your counter.

Choose a wine or beverage center cellar that has a reversible door to allow for a more flexible installation. It also comes with an LED display for control that lets you easily adjust the temperature. Some units even include a memory function that will return the temperature set after power loss, helping to avoid any potential wine spoilage. Many undercounter wine refrigerators and cellars also have wooden shelves that can be removed for easy access to your favorite bottles and feature stoppers to prevent bottles from falling when removed. A stainless steel frame and double-layer tempered glass door will complement any room design and adds an elegant look to your home.

Installation

Installing your new wine refrigerator is a breeze once you've found the right location and established its power requirements. Before you begin, take out any objects from the cabinet that might block the refrigerator or affect its performance. This will help you determine the area accurately and ensure that your wine cooler fits in the right place. This process requires basic tools, such as a screwdriver and a measuring tape. Also, you'll need shims, a drill, or a jigsaw for drilling holes where necessary.

Check that the area in which you are planning to put your refrigerator has adequate ventilation. This will allow cool air to circulate and maintain a consistent temperature throughout your cabinet. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to heat sources, such as radiators, as these may increase the temperature inside and result in damage to your wine. Keep your wine cooler away from humid areas as this can cause mildew or mold to develop and alter the quality of your wine.

Built-in wine chillers have their vents located on the front. This makes them very popular to fit into existing cabinets. If you're using a freestanding cooler, it is important to keep in mind that the vent will be at the back. It will also require enough space to work properly. If the vent is blocked, it will have to do twice as hard to control its internal temperature and require more energy than it should.

To avoid this, ensure that the skirting boards that surround your unit are not blocking the grille on the front. You should also be mindful of any gaps between the sides and bottom, as warm air is expelled through these tiny openings. If you do install a skirting board along the front of your wine cooler, ensure that it has a grille installed to ensure the fridge can still draw in cool air.
