Practical Solutions For the Wine Cooolers

Given that you have no immediate plans to drink the wine you just bought, you have opted to decant it.

So, what are your plans with this newfound possession?

To begin, it’s vital to remember that only a small percentage of the fine wines now available on the market may gain anything from further ageing. Most wines are best consumed during the first few years after they have been produced. Because ageing wine is a whole other ballgame, anybody thinking of making a major investment in wines to age should give considerable thought to investing in professional-quality storage.

However, if you keep your wines in the right conditions until you’re ready to try them, you shouldn’t have to worry about wasting any of them.

Avoid losing your cool.

Heat is the worst enemy of wine; therefore serve it at a cool temperature. More fast ageing is not always desirable when ageing wine; therefore avoiding temperatures over 70 degrees Fahrenheit is recommended. In addition, if the temperature rises much higher, your wine may be “cooked,” which may dull the flavours and aromas. Despite the lack of precision involved, between 45 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit is where you want to be (and 55 degrees is sometimes stated as being very near to perfect). As long as the wine will be consumed within a few years after its release, a somewhat warmer storage environment is OK. Choosing the best dual zone wine cooler is important.

But don’t be deceived.

Wines may be safely stored in the fridge for a few months, but keeping them there for much longer is not recommended. Perishables cannot be safely stored in a refrigerator since the average temperature is far below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Corks may dry up in the absence of moisture, allowing air to seep into bottles and potentially tainting the wine. You should also keep your wine away from any places where it may freeze. If the liquid freezes, the expansion of the ice might potentially force the cork out.

Keeping a constant speed

Prioritizing avoiding the minefields of sudden, extreme, or frequent temperature fluctuations above achieving the optimal temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit is a good strategy. The heating process adds flavour, but the expansion and contraction of the liquid within the bottle might remove the cork and cause seepage. Maintain uniformity, but don’t sweat the little stuff when it comes to wine temperature; certain wines may go bad in the time it takes to ship from the vineyard to the store. ((Just because wine has leaked beyond the cork due to heat doesn’t mean the wine is ruined.)) If it has been sitting for a while, it may still be edible, but you won’t know for sure until you open it.

Turn off the light show.

Light, especially intense sunlight may cause problems when keeping objects for a lengthy period of time. The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays may hasten wine’s deterioration and premature ageing. Bottles made from tinted glass are often used in the winemaking business for a variety of reasons; they serve a purpose similar to that of sunglasses, but for wine. Light from commonplace lights won’t hurt the wine, although the labels might fade with time. Although fluorescent lights do emit some UV radiation, it has been hypothesised that incandescent lamps provide less of a health risk.
