Wine Storing Styles

Wine can be stored in home in four different styles. They are wine racks, wine coolers, wine cabinets, and wine cellars. Each one has its own pros and cons when used for storing wine.

Wine racks:
Wine racks are small tabletop units, or large display cases that are placed against a wall creating an attractive decorative piece that is suitable for storing wine. Wine racks help to store the wine at the proper angle in order to make cork to remain moist. Wine racks do not have a cooling unit and do not control lighting and humidity.

Wine coolers:
A wine cooler is designed to store wine at appropriate serving temperature. It is not prefect for long term storage of a large wine collection, as the temperature of a wine cooler fluctuates more than wine cabinets or wine cellars and also vibrates too much. The wine will be stored at perfect temperature for consumption.

Wine Cabinets:
Wine cabinets are perfect for long term storage of a wine collection, favoring the fine wine to age correctly. They keep the wine in a cool, high humidity environment as they are provided with a cooling system. Insulated surfaces keep the temperature at perfect level for storage of fine wine.

Wine Cellar:
Wine cellars store a fine wine collection at the optimum temperature and for slow aging. They are most convenient to collectors who will keep wine for many years. They provide ideal possible cooling which is the perfect storage condition for collection of the finest wine. But they are a bit noisy.
