About Wine Fridges
Wine fridges are popular among wine enthusiasts who want to store their wine collection at the optimal temperature for serving, offering individual zones where you can set different temperatures for red and white varietals in the same unit.
Unlike a regular refrigerator, which operates at a low temperature and higher humidity, a wine fridge stays at a consistent temperature between 45 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit and a humidity level of between 50-70%, which is optimal for preserving and aging wine.
The Best Wine Refrigeration Systems
Many wine enthusiasts invest in fridges for wine to ensure their bottles are stored at the proper temperature and humidity levels. When wine is stored correctly, it preserves the flavor, aroma, and appearance of the wine and helps it age well.
With Wine Racks America, you can access a range of wine refrigerators in all sizes, from small refrigerated wine coolers that hold just a few bottles to big wine-cooling units that can hold hundreds.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT WINE COOLER FOR YOU
Capacity – Not all wine coolers are built equally. Before choosing a wine fridge or cooling system, check that it can keep all the bottles in your collection at optimal temperature.
Temperature Range – Not only should a wine fridge store wine at optimal temperature, but it should also allow you to adjust the temperature to compensate for changes in the weather and season.
Humidity Control – A powerful wine cooling system should give you control over its humidity levels to ensure your collection’s corks don’t dry out.
Size and Design – Choose between freestanding or built-in wine fridges to best match your style, then be sure to measure your space before choosing a wine fridge to ensure a comfortable fit.
Noise – If you plan on placing your wine fridge in a frequently used area of your home, look for models with a quiet rating and vibration-dampening features to ensure optimal storage without causing a disturbance.
Energy Efficiency – It’s best to choose an appropriately sized fridge for your wine collection while also considering features such as dual temperature zones and UV-resistant glass door to maximize the energy efficiency of your wine fridge.

Which is better, a wine fridge or a wine cellar?
It depends on your needs and preferences. A wine fridge is ideal for those with limited space for their wine bar or a small wine collection, while a wine cellar is better suited for larger collections and those who want a dedicated space for storing and aging wine.
How many wine bottles can a wine fridge hold?
At Wine Racks America, we stock standalone and built-in wine fridges that can store up to 42 standard wine bottles. However, if you need more storage space or want to store non-standard wine bottles, we can help design the perfect cooling and storage solution to suit your requirements.
What is the optimum wine storage temperature?
Different wines require different storage temperatures. Typically, red wine should be stored at around 55°F, while white wine should be stored at around 45°F.
Should I Choose a Freestanding Wine Fridge or a Wine Refrigeration System?
While small wine fridges are affordable and accessible, they can only hold a limited number of bottles and don’t have as many features as wine cooling systems. Wine cooling systems, on the other hand, can handle larger collections and provide more control over the storage environment.
The choice between a small wine fridge and a wine cooling system installed in a cellar or wine room depends on your budget, collection size, and your wine storage goals.
