Checking Reviews For The Best Wine Coolers

The Galt Online Buying Guide (www.galttechcom) considers the Vinotemp and the EuroCave the best wine coolers around. The problem for the average buyer, of course, is that they don't necessarily have the $1000 to spend on a wine fridge, no matter how great the quality ultimately is. But looking at Galt's other recommendations, and those of other review sites, it is suggested that if you leave those higher echelons of quality, then hunting for the best wine bottle refrigerator may be a more difficult task, with less obvious solutions.

In the lower price ranges, the best wine coolers come from all over the place, and almost all brands seem to have at least one model that works quite well. The only exception to this is when the Modern Wine Cellar (www.modern-wine-cellar.com) review site tends to give Cuisinart models consistently bad marks. These, however, all fall in size ranges that store twenty bottles or less, so Cuisinart may do better in the larger wine units. Danby wine refrigerators fare slightly better on review sites, though even when the Danby Silhouette DWC512BLS model is recommended by the Galt Buying Guide, the user reviews remain rather lukewarm.

The refrigerated wine cabinets that come out best in the reviews, overall, tend to be Avanti models. Yet even these are not entirely consistent in each category. The Modern Wine Cellar review site went through a detailed, point by point analysis of many fridge models, and found that in single temperature zone wine cooling units, Haier and Avanti split the good ratings between them. In dual temperature zones, however, the best wine coolers overall seem to be the Avanti versions, with one particularly high recommendation for Franklin Chef in the 61-100 bottle size range.

This doesn't necessarily mean that if you're looking for compact wine refrigerators you should automatically go out and buy an Avanti or Haier model, though you'll have a better chance of success with those. The variation in even the official reviews means that you should read comments and reviews from regular users as well, to find out what they think are the best wine coolers. Only by learning how the different units operate for regular people in normal usage conditions can you discover which wine fridge will work best for you.

Options In Wine Coolers
There are plenty of smaller wine coolers to begin with, but you first need to decide where you're going to put this new appliance and exactly how big you want it to be. Money may also be a factor, so you need to know how much you're willing to spend. The smallest cooling units are very small indeed, so even if you have very little room in your kitchen, you may still manage to find something that will suit the space you have.

Options In Choosing Your Wine Cooler
To keep both red and white wines stored in the best conditions, you have three choices. You might buy two wine bottle refrigerators so you can store the wines at different temperatures, since whites should be cooler than reds. You could buy one wine fridge and set the thermostat halfway between the two recommended high and low temperatures.

A Wine Cooler Refrigerator Versus The Kitchen Fridge
Even the wines themselves ideally require different storage temperatures, which is why some people may have both a white and a red wine refrigerator. Red wines should properly be stored at about 60 degrees, with whites cooler at around 48 degrees. Both temperatures, incidentally, are higher than what is recommended in typical kitchen refrigerators used for food, which is about 40 degrees.
