Recommend your dual zone wine cooler/fridge
Comments (1)I had a conversation with a sommelier once, the son of a good friend of mine who took classes to become certified. He told me that unless you are collecting estate bottled wines of the very highest quality ($50 per bottle or more), and planning to "keep" them for a few years until they are "ready to drink," an electric wine cellar is not necessary or worth the expense. If you are still interested in getting one of these devices, you need to make sure that the one you select is designed in such a way that it prevent any vibration from reaching the wine in storage, because that would be harmful to the wine. The best system for storing wine of very high quality is to have a room, about the size of a walk-in closet or larger, and to condition in air in the room with a special device that maintains the temperature and humidity at optimal levels. Such an arrangement would eliminate the concern about vibration. The other concern is noise. Some of these devices are noisy, and you do not want them in a dining room or family room for that reason, even if they are housed in a nice cabinet suitable for a formal or semi-formal setting. Aside from the question of storing very fine wines until it is ready to drink, another reason for electrified storage is so that wine is at the optimal temperature for drinking, which means old fashioned wine cellar temperature for red wine (I think, about 65 degrees Fahrenheit), and bit colder for white table wine, and very cold for bubbly. If you live in a private home, you can probably find storage that approximates optimal temperature somewhere in your house. So, unless your husband is a purist, my advice is to get him a case or two of his favorite wine. If he's a purist, you should let him select the storage system that he wants....See MorePhotos of extended islands with built in icemaker / wine cooler ?

Comments (8)Thanks for posting the article. I've been saying this to anyone who asks for ages, but never had a handy reference. My cheapo 15 year old scratch and dent wine fridge (less than $200 at HD) still maintains 55 degrees like a rock star. We keep sparkling in the regular fridge. Always makes me shudder to see ppl keeping reds in those cabinet racks over the fridge! Ick!...See Morekaseki
