The Electric Wine Cooler Is Hot, Hot, Hot!!

    With the latest trends in wine catering toward the everyday indulger, rather than the elite connoisseur, no item is more popular in the industry right now than the electric wine cooler. Becoming educated about wine is more important than ever, even if your top bottle will never put you out more than twenty bucks, because even wine consumed at daily drinker prices can spoil if not stored at the correct temperature (read: your favorite $18 pinot noir became vinegar because you stored it on a high shelf in your kitchen right above your range hood – sound familiar?). Fortunately the electric wine cooler makes storage and serving temperature a no-brainer for novices in the wine world like us.
   Make no mistake, serious wine collectors have known for centuries that lighting, temperature control, relative humidity and even vibration are all variables not to be taken lightly when evaluating storage for their precious bottles. Wine was, and still is, stored in caves in some parts of the world because of the stability in all of these factors. For those living in areas where spelunking is not an option, electric wine coolers work beautifully in any home, and just about any budget.
   Smaller electric wine coolers can hold as few as half a dozen bottles, and can be set right on a kitchen counter or wet bar for convenience. Under the counter wine coolers are great for saving space when work surfaces are small. Both of these types are available for under a hundred dollars, leaving plenty of room in the budget to fill the wine cooler itself, and would be an excellent gift for any wine lover on your list.
   For those with a more extensive collection, much larger and more luxurious models of wine coolers come with a higher price tag, but can hold more than 150 bottles. These “cellars” are designed with features such as dual zone temperature control for different varietals of wine, vibration eliminating cooling technology, and stainless steel or wood finishes to blend in with other appliances and furniture. Definitely high style refrigeration at its best. Regardless of your taste in wine or wallet size, electric wine coolers are a great way to enhance your experience with every glass.
