Regardless whether they’re called wine coolers, wine refrigerators, or wine chillers the primary aim of these units is the same – to maintain your wine within a fairly narrow range of temperatures for storage or service.

The truth is, however, that wine storage is pretty simple and, apart from a few basic requirements, and the correct model wine cooler or wine refrigerator from an expert in wine cooler production like Weald Refrigeration whose wine chillers are specifically manufactured for keeping wine at optimum conditions.

Wealds advice when buying a wine cooler are simple make sure you get the capacity correct , i.e., getting something that can hold 50% more bottles of wine than you think you will store to be on the safe side.

Also remember that normal bottle cooler capacities are based on standard 750 ml. Bordeaux type bottles, which are long and slender. 

If you are planning on storing Magnums, Champagne, and other larger/odd-shaped bottles, you will need a slightly different shelving layout.
