How to keep Your Wine in an Edgestar Wine Cooler
Owning an Edgestar Wine Cooler can be a significant step in your life as a wine enthusiast. During the summer months your wine collection needs to be taken care of properly to avoid the wine going bad or oxidizing. But there are a few things that you need to think about before you actually buy one
Below I have outlined the reasons why you need to keep your wine in a wine cooler so that one day you don't have to open a bottle to find that it is no good. The three main factors that need top be taken into account when looking after wine are light, humidity and temperature. When you are deciding on an Edgestar Wine Cooler these are the things you might want to keep in mind.
The Temperature - this is probably the biggest cause of oxidization in wine that had to do with storage. Wine can get too hot and 'cook' if it is kept in a hot temperature for too long. The best temperature for keeping wine is 50F to 59F (10C and 15C) with a perfect temp of about 55F (13C).
Light- More often than not it is the lighter bodied wines like pinot and some whites that are at the greatest risk of being affected by light. A lot of champagnes, white wines and Pinot Noirs are commonly stored in darker bottles to provide the wine with some protection. Excessive light affects the phenolic compounds in the wine and can cause faults. It is best to find a wine cooler that has a UV protected glass door.
The Humidity - Humidity plays an important role if you are keeping wine that has been stored under cork ( enclosed with cork). The corks need a certain amount of mositure to stop them from drying out.
If you own an Edgestar wine cooler that does not have a humidity tray in the bottom - you can put a small plate filled with water in the bottom of the wine cooler. This keeps the air moist and stops you wine with corks from going bad.
