Wine Fridges

Although both wine fridges and cabinets are designed to keep your bottles refrigerated, a wine fridge is unable to maintain controlled temperatures in long-term storage which are crucial for protecting and aging your wine collection.

Wine fridges (also referred to as wine refrigerators) typically generate high cold temperatures and remove ambient humidity, which can be detrimental to your collection over time - wine cabinets however are climate-controlled wine cellars which are designed to replicate the conditions found in the best natural underground cellars.

So how can you tell the difference between a wine fridge and a cabinet?

There are some easy ways to tell a wine fridge from a wine cabinet – the features you should look for include humidity management (to preserve corks), dark interiors, soft LED lights, and tinted glass (to protect your wine from damaging light) and finally wooden shelves (to absorb vibrations).
