The best storage temperature for wine should be around 13°C. Although the refrigerator can set the temperature, there is still a certain gap between the actual temperature and the set temperature. The temperature difference may be around 5°C-6°C. Therefore, the temperature in the refrigerator is actually in an unstable and fluctuating state. This is obviously very unfavorable to the preservation of wine.
For various foods (vegetables, fruits, sausages, etc.), a dry environment of 4-5 degrees Celsius in the refrigerator can prevent spoilage to the greatest extent, but wine requires a temperature of about 12 degrees Celsius and a certain humidity environment. In order to prevent the dry cork from causing air to infiltrate into the wine bottle, causing the wine to oxidize in advance and lose its flavor.
The internal temperature of the refrigerator is too low is only one aspect, on the other hand, the temperature fluctuates greatly. The preservation of wine requires a constant temperature environment, and the refrigerator will be opened countless times a day, and the temperature change is much larger than that of the wine cabinet.
Vibration is the enemy of wine. Ordinary household refrigerators use compressors for refrigeration, so the vibration of the body is inevitable. In addition to causing noise, the vibration of the refrigerator can also interfere with the aging of the wine.
Therefore, it is not recommended to store wine in the household refrigerator.
Efficient ways to store wine without altering its flavor and composition: From affordable wine refrigerators and temperature-controlled wine cabinets to professional underground wine cellars, these options meet the demands of cooling, darkening and resting. Based on the basic guidelines, you can make your own choice according to your budget and available space.
