Should You Keep Red Wine In Your Wine Fridge

The ideal temperature for serving your red wines should be somewhere around 12-14 degrees centigrade, just shy of room temperature.

Will chilling a red wine in a fridge ruin it? The simple answer is yes. While it may be more common to chill light reds, rosés, etc. and some full-bodied red wines will also take to a chill provided they aren’t too tannic.

Cold temperatures heighten the structure of the entire wine, including the tannins, which will become more astringent and can taste downright unpleasant.

So, what is the answer yes or no?

Simple, invest in a superb Dual Temperature, British made wine cooler direct from wine cooler manufacturer Weald Refrigeration.

Our spectacular range of Prestige Wine Coolers have been styled to draw attention to, and feature, your wine. With their eye-catching wine shelf system up to 96 bottles of your finest wines can be displayed and stored at the temperature you require.

Our Dual Temperature wine coolers have two separate zones both controlled independently

So for example, should you require your white wines at +6°c serving temperature and your red wines at +14°c that’s precisely what you will get, with the red wine stored in its own section and white wine in the other.

The microprocessor controls with touch pad adjustment can easily be altered to the desired temperature from between +3°c to +10°c for white wine and +10°c to +20°c for red wine.  It is useful to remember that only a small percentage of fine wines on the market benefit from long-term aging.
