Red wine fridges are wine storage cabinets designed to maintain perfect conditions like wine cellars for the long term preservation and ageing of red wines. They feature charcoal filters, maintain humidity of 50 to 80% and benefit from high or complete UV protection. Red wine cabinets come in various styles while they are all designed to be used freestanding with ventilation around the back and sides of the product.
Red wine cabinets offer large capacities of from 80+ Bordeaux bottles to over 300 bottles providing ample space for large wine collections, catering for all your serving or red wine refrigerating and warming requirements.
This type of red wine storage unit is perfectly designed to meet the same storage standards and temperature as a wine cellar (without the cost).
Other functional benefits of ageing wine cabinets include door locks and noise alarms which trigger if the wine cabinet door is left open as this can detrimentally effect storage conditions.
In addition, all the units on offer are installed with anti vibration systems to keep your wines stored in perfect stillness - maintaining a vibration free storage environment is critical for the develop of your wines.
Once the ageing wine cabinet is delivered it's recommended to follow the manufacturers instructions for installation.
The majority of red wine fridges are freestanding wine fridges so require 3-5cm of ventilation around the top / sides and back.
All our red wine storage is installed with winter systems ensuring the wine cabinet can be installed in warm or cold environments (ambient temperature of 0°C – 38°C) like a garage or storage space.
This is due to the winter system maintaining a consistent internal heat to raise the internal temperature of the wine chiller.
In addition, these red wine cabinets are designed with full insulated sides to insulate against temperature fluctuations.
The temperature you should store and serve red wine at generally depends on which kind of red wine you are drinking but it is generally a warmer temperature than white wines.
If you have a lighter, crisper red, it’s a good idea to chill it and serve it between 12-13°C.
It’s best to serve a medium-bodied red at around 14-16°C.
If you want to devour the flavour of a fuller-bodied red, serve it around 16 - 18°C.
All of our red wine cabinets have full capability to cater for your red wines at the perfect temperature depending on the variety of the wine and your personal preference.
Yes, you can put red wine in your wine cooler but you'll need to keep it warmer than a traditional fridge.
Putting your red wine in a wine fridge before serving will ensure it reaches the recommended temperature.
Remember, depending on style, you’re aiming for between 12-18°C or 55-65°F.
Lighter reds, such as Beaujolais and Pinot Noir, can be on the cooler end of this spectrum, whilst fuller-bodied reds such as Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignons can be served at the warmer end.
Over time wines can absorb odours from outside sources which can ultimately disrupt the sealed wine through the cork.
A charcoal filter fitted into the red wine chiller guards against this undesirable outcome.
This is especially important if the wine fridge is situated in a garage setting near DIY related storage like paints for example.
If your planning on positioning the red wine warmer in a location where there maybe external aromas then the internal fan of the wine cooler should be sufficient to keep your wines in fresh odourless air.
Our red wine cabinets are energy efficient, with most rated at G or F and average around 38-41db noise level which are very quiet especially in a utility room, garage of outbuilding setting.
Using one of our wine chillers situated in a home space which is a lesser used room and you will not have any noise disturbance.
Every red wine refrigerators we sell is sold with a 1 to 3 year warranty depending on the brand of wine fridge chosen.
