We consulted experts on what to look for in a wine fridge and why temperature matters when it comes to storing wine.
, describes this phenomenon simply, saying “Excess cold will numb your tongue.” A wine that’s consumed too cold will appear muted and flavorless. To observe the power of temperature, Tribouilloy encourages wine lovers to try this experiment at home: “Take a bottle of white wine out of the [kitchen] fridge and taste it right away. Then, let it warm up for 30 minutes and taste it again.” Temperature also affects the wine itself on a molecular level.
Carney refers to the ideal temperature as the one that “flatters the wine.” The recommended serving temperature for red wines is slightly below room temperature, between 55ºF and 65ºF. In the wine world, this is commonly referred to as cellar temperature. The ideal temperature for white wines is between 45ºF and 50ºF. This is considerably warmer than the temperature of the average kitchen refrigerator, which is generally 40ºF or below.
Under-the-counter models can hold around 30 to 45 bottles. For serious collectors, larger fridges are available in the form of 48-inch wide lowboys or tall, vertical models that can store hundreds of bottles. When evaluating space, Carney recommends taking the listed capacity with a grain of salt. He explains that manufacturers calculate storage space using standard Bordeaux bottles.
After installation, set the fridge temperature and load in your wine. Wine bottles should always be stored on their side to prevent the cork from drying out. The racks in our favorite wine fridges are designed so that the bottles can be laid down horizontally. Most models will have notches on the shelves to hold individual bottles in place. Don’t overfill the shelves; one extra chilled bottle isn’t worth the risk of a collapse.
