A wine cooler is a short-term storage device (less than a year). It’s used to store wine at proper serving temperatures. They vary greatly in size, appearance and features.
Is a Wine Rack Enough?
A wine rack by itself can be used to store wine for less than 6 months. Additional wine-cellar equipment is needed for long-term storage. Wine racks usually come in metal or wood, they can be plain or decorative. You can store standard bottles or magnums. Even if you’re not interested in long-term storage, you need to know how to protect your wine.
Long-Term Wine Storage without a Wine Cellar
Electric Wine Cellars and Wine Cabinets are designed to provide the proper environment for long-term wine storage. The length of time depends on your goals and the wine itself. These products may resemble refrigerators or high-end furniture.
