Wine Cabinet J Timely Ventilation And Humidity Adjustment
Mar 04, 2022
The best environment for preserving wine is constant temperature, constant humidity, light and shock absorption, ventilation, and no peculiar smell. The wine should be placed on a stable wine rack, so that the cork can be fully contacted with the wine to maintain the wetness and sealing of the cork. Many people choose to use refrigerators to store wine. It is a last resort. If conditions permit, they should choose a suitable wine cabinet.
There is a big difference between a wine cooler and a refrigerator:
(1) Accuracy of constant temperature: The best storage temperature for wine should be around 13°C. Some scholars have done a special analysis and believe that the ideal temperature should be 12.8°C. Although the refrigerator can also be set to a constant temperature, the actual temperature in the refrigerator is quite different from the set temperature, and it is often in an unstable state, making it difficult to ensure the temperature requirements for wine storage. There are professional precision compressors and temperature controllers in the wine cabinet, which have better temperature control accuracy and stability than refrigerators.
(2) Ventilation and humidity regulation
If the humidity is not enough, the cork on the wine bottle will shrink or even dry and crack, which may cause trouble when opening the bottle, or lose its sealing function, which will cause air to enter, affect the fermentation of the wine, and make the wine taste bad.
If the humidity is too high, not only can mold grow on the bottle mouth, but also the wine label is easy to mold and fall off, which greatly reduces the image of the wine. The wine cabinet has a perfect ventilation system, through the difference between the temperature inside the wine cabinet and the outdoor temperature, so that moisture is generated in the wine cabinet, and the internal humidity can be appropriately increased. Refrigerator is far less professional for ventilation and humidity regulation
(3) Shock Absorption: Vibration will accelerate the speed of the chemical reaction of wine, which has a considerable impact on the ripening process of wine. There is a sophisticated anti-vibration compressor inside the wine cabinet, which works slowly and smoothly without direct contact with the main body of the wine cabinet, which greatly reduces various vibrations. The refrigerator does not have such sophisticated shockproof facilities, so sometimes when you put your hand on the refrigerator, you can feel the vibration generated by the engine.
(4) Avoid light: The ultraviolet rays in the light also have a great influence on the ripening and aging of wine, and if exposed to strong sunlight for six months, it is enough to cause the wine to deteriorate. The professional wine cabinet has a double-layer UV-resistant glass door, which can effectively prevent UV damage to the wine.
