5 Tips for Storing Wine in a Wine Cooler

Wine is a delicate beverage that can be easily damaged by improper storage. If you are serious about wine, it is important to store it in a wine cooler that can maintain the ideal temperature, humidity, and darkness.

Here are 5 tips for storing wine in a wine cooler:  

Choose the right wine cooler : Not all wine coolers are created equal. When choosing a wine cooler, you will need to consider the size of your wine collection, the types of wine you like to drink, and your budget.

Set the correct temperature: The ideal temperature for storing wine depends on the type of wine. Red wines are typically stored at 55-65 degrees Fahrenheit, while white wines are stored at 45-55 degrees Fahrenheit. Sparkling wines and dessert wines require even cooler temperatures.

Maintain the humidity level: The humidity level in your wine cooler should be between 50-70%. This will help to keep the corks moist and prevent them from drying out.

Store the wine in a dark place: Light can damage wine, so it’s important to store it in a dark place. Choose a wine cooler with Low E glass in the door to protect your collection from the effects of UV light.

Keep the wine cooler level: Vibration can also damage wine, so it is important to keep your wine cooler level. If you must move your wine cooler, do so carefully and avoid jostling it.

By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your wine stays in peak condition for years to come.

Here are some additional tips for storing wine in a wine cooler:

  • Avoid storing wine in direct sunlight.

  • Clean the wine cooler regularly.
  • Inspect the wine regularly for signs of spoilage.
