The five essentials of wine storage
- Wine storage should maintain a stable and constant temperature.
- Humidity should always be above 50%, as lower levels can cause corks to dry and thus shrink. This can allow air to enter the wine and damage it.
- You should avoid all light; wine is best stored in the dark.
- Vibrations can prematurely deteriorate wine by speeding up chemical reactions.
- Wine needs appropriate ventilation.
Single-temperature wine cabinets meet all five essentials of wine storage. There is a fantastic range of wine cabinets available, designed for a variety of purposes. Therefore, it is important to know the space where your wine cabinet will be situated, as well as the capacity and the type of bottles you want it to hold.

Tips to remember when buying a single-temperature wine cabinet
- Wine cabinets provide the correct conditions for long-term storage and ageing of fine wine. However, it is sometimes mistaken that wine coolers are the same. Wine coolers are designed to maintain wine at serving temperature, but the temperature can often fluctuate.
- When purchasing your wine cabinet, you should find out about the insulation. Wine cabinet designs vary, and some models provide insufficient insulation for your wine. One-and-a-half-inch insulation is usually advisable.
- Find out the capacity of the wine cabinet.
- Remember, noise is an important consideration if your wine cabinet is for the home. Ask about the wine cabinet's cooling system.
- Measure the size accurately of where your wine cabinet will stand.
- Find out about the wine cabinet’s placement requirements. Some wine cabinet models can be placed against the wall, whereas others require up to six/seven inches of clearance behind the cabinet.
- When buying your wine cabinet, ask yourself: how big is your wine collection? Will this wine cabinet hold more bottles if your collection grows?
- Wine cabinet shelving options are different with every model. Consider what types of shelves you require. Some wine cabinet models provide space to stack bottles on the same shelf, whereas others allow you to store bottles upright. There are various options available, so choose the wine cabinet which meets your requirements.
- Something else to consider is…will it fit into your house? Sometimes people receive a cabinet and are unable to get it through their front door!
