Wine Cellar Cooling Unit

A large part of the integrity of a wine cellar rests on the quality and efficiency of its wine cellar cooling unit, a part of the wine cooling system. Without a means to keep the temperature constant, the wine will continually expand and contract, causing excess oxidation and possibly destroying the integrity of the wine and causing them to prematurely age.

A wine cellar cooling unit is chiefly responsible for keeping the temperature of the room within optimum levels for aging and storage. The range of temperatures considered to be acceptable for a wine cellar is from 5-18°C (40-65°F). However, the optimum temperature for a wine cellar cooling unit to maintain is from 10-12°C (50 to 55°F).

A wine cellar cooling unit can be found in many shapes, sizes, makes, and models. When looking for one for your wine cellar, be sure to get one that fits your needs. Further, it is important to choose a wine cellar cooling unit that is accurate and efficient to maintain the correct and constant temperature.
