For those who are patient enough to wait for the perfect age time on that special bottle of GSM or Cab, having a safe, temperature-controlled place to store wine can mean the difference between a transcendental tasting experience and a deflating disappointment. Nothing is worse than opening up a wine lovingly stored for years, only to discover that it has gone flat, suffered oxidation, or turned to vinegar.
You’ll never have that problem again if you invest in a slick wine fridge, now designed to fit within any lifestyle or budget. There are built-in, portable, or countertop options holding anywhere from six to hundreds of bottles. And good wine storage isn’t only for the disciplined: for spontaneous types, what could be better than having perfectly chilled wine ready to go at a moment’s notice?
Do you have a wine refrigerator that you love? Have you found that it makes a difference?
Thanks to Sarah Shotwell for the post. This post is very helpful for me. As a wine lover, I prefer wine refrigerator.
Wine coolers are becoming the "it" appliance to have, especially among those who live in small spaces and love their wine

Greetings, fellow wine clubbers, I am truly pleased to join you on this journey of well orchestrated pairings provided by TCM and their friends at Laithwaite's Wine. I look forward to learning from all who participate, and I am also eager to share our experiences as we meld TCM classic films with the suggested culinary treats, and one of the delicious selections soon to be arriving on my front doorstep. That being said, I have a question for your consideration: When refrigerating wine, should the reds be stored at a different temperature than the whites requiring one to have either two separate refrigerators or a multi-chambered refrigerator (if such a device exists. I do understand that I could look this up on the internet, but where is the fun in that?) What would an optimal temperature be when sharing a refrigerator with multiple varieties? Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts.
