Wine Refrigerators Chill Out – Kitchen & Bath Design News Leave a comment

Today’s kitchens are being designed with a range of amenities customized to the people who use them. Items such as steam ovens and touchless faucets enhance a healthy lifestyle, while built-in undercounter microwaves and oversized islands with seating deliver function for the growing family.

For those who entertain, or just enjoy a favorite vintage with a well-cooked meal, appliance manufacturers are delivering wine refrigeration units that offer optimum preservation. Taking into account temperature, vibration, light, moisture and even display opportunities, current wine refrigerators deliver a range of options for today’s wine lover.

–Interiors are now more flexible, with moveable shelving and pop-up capabilities for display to meet user needs.

–Lighting is becoming an integral part of the wine refrigerator, with changeable LED lights putting the collection on display.

–UV rays can damage the delicate contents, so wine refrigerators are equipped with tempered glass that is tinted to protect against light.

–Full-extension wood shelves cradle bottles appropriately and minimize vibration, all while delivering an upscale look and experience.

–Separate zones for both red and white are standard to keep wines at their ideal temperature, while some even have a deep chilling mode for rapid cooling of whites.

–Whether storing just a few bottles or 100-plus, wine refrigerators are offered in undercounter, full-size and even within traditional refrigerator/freezers.
