Red Wine Fridges Guide
Red wine fridges and wine cabinets run the gamut of bottle capacities from under 50 for smaller units where space is an issue to over 300 bottles. Many red wine fridges come with just a few shelves where stacking of bottles of required. If ageing your wine over the longer term is the requirement then this is fairly common, it also saves money as shelving in wine fridges, especially sliding shelving can be expensive.
Red wine storage in the shape of fridges, coolers and cabinets was begun in the 1980s to allow those with limited space, like apartment dwellers, to replicate cellar like conditions in their home. This would save in the longer term on warehouse bonding too.
As most red wine fridges contain valuable, fine wine, they are mostly equipped with locking doors, temperature alarms and even humidity alarms and child locks too. Many include winter systems for customers who want to place their red wine fridge in a garage or outbuilding.
In order to protect wine over the longer term, all these premium red wine fridges are UV protected either with UV protected glass doors or solid doors, anti-vibration systems and humidity management.
Red Wine Cabinets FAQs
Can a red wine fridge be put in a garage?
If the wine fridge has a winter system and providing your garage doesn't reach minus temperatures, then yes, a red wine fridge may be kept in a garage. If the garage has lots of aromas like exhaust fumes it would be wise to also ensure it has a carbon filter too.
Can a red wine fridge be built-in to a kitchen?
Yes, a red wine fridge can be built-in to a kitchen and many are. All the Swisscave wine fridges allow the ability to built the wine fridge into carpentry. As long as the ventilation of the wine fridge allows it to be built in, then red wine fridges can be built in to kitchens.
Do red wine fridges have carbon filters?
Long term maturation wine fridges almost always are equipped with cabinet filters. Every wine fridge in this list is already selected for having a charcoal filter.
How often should I change the carbon filter?
The recommended amount of time to allow pass before changing the carbon filter is typically around one year. However, if the wine fridge is kept within an environment with lots of dust and aromas, it may be beneficial to change it every six months.
Are red wine cabinets noisy?
Most modern red wine cabinets emanate anywhere from 38-42dB, the lower the wine fridge is down this scale, the quieter it will be. A top tip is to buy the latest model of any wine fridge as manufacturers are always looking to lower the decibels and improve the energy efficiency with every release.
How long is the warranty?
This differs between producer but most wine fridge manufacturers offer at least a two year parts and service warranty.
How many temperature zones does a red wine fridge have?
A red wine fridge for long term maturation only needs one temperature zone as all wine types evolve best at around 12°C.
What temperature should red wine be stored?
Red wine should be stored around 12°C.
How much energy do red wine fridges use?
Single zone red wine fridges are more energy efficient than their dual zone siblings, as the conditions are fairly static they are also usually much more energy efficient per bottle than smaller appliances too.
