Our need to conveniently store wine in a wine cabinet should never lead us to make the mistake of storing them in a “wine refrigerator”, as this type of appliance is usually characterized by a high level of vibration and a lack of humidity control inside, two factors that seriously damage the evolution of the wine.
In a relatively short time, the vibrations break down the particles in the wine and impoverish its flavor, causing it to taste like an oxidized wine. On the other hand, the lack of humidity seriously damages the condition of the cork that closes the wine bottle and ends up giving way to oxygen, which penetrates and ends up oxidizing the wine, spoiling it, something that must be avoided at all costs.
As for cheap wine cabinets, something similar happens. This kind of cheap wine cabinets are usually machines that work with thermoelectricity or peltier cells, which, if they are of low quality (normally, in cheap wine cabinets they are), do not have enough power to cool the bottles well, especially in summer, with the inside of these wine cabinets reaching over 20ºC, which seriously accelerates the evolution of the wine towards its deterioration. In addition, these wine cabinets usually last a short time, since their cold equipment loses performance as they accumulate dust, which causes them to work without interruption for a longer time to try to maintain the temperature, usually without success, and they end up “dying” in the term 2 years, approximately, coinciding with the expiration of the guarantee of the wine cabinet.
For all these reasons, we always recommend wine cabinets of proven prestige, such as Caveduke wine cabinets, a consolidated brand in the market with the guarantee and prestige offered by the CAVEDUKE® brand, our brand of luxury climatised cabinets, a benchmark brand in the sector and with an international presence for more than 15 years.
Do not let a cheap wine cabinet spoil your wines and, in the end, you end up giving way to a better quality one. Decide on a quality wine cabinet from day one. Always ask for a wine cabinet with a technical service in your area, such as the Caveduke wine cabinets, as we have a technical service network throughout the Spanish territory and even outside of it.
