Noises Inside the Wine Cooler
If you have not owned a wine cooler before, you may notice that it makes some rather unusual
noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has
become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will
not affect the performance of your wine cooler.
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
Storing Wine in Your Wine Cooler
One benefit of your new wine cooler is that you can simulate the conditions of a wine cellar.
By using a wine cooler thermometer you can ensure a constant temperature of around 5-20°C,
which is ideal for storing wine. Make sure the bottles are lying on their sides. This ensures the
wine inside is in contact with the cork, which stops the cork drying out, shrinking, letting air
in and spoiling the wine. After a bottle has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air
which will start to oxidise the wine. This generally occurs on the wine’s contact surface, leaving
the remaining wine in good condition. By leaving your bottle standing, you minimise the surface
area of the wine in contact with air.
If you’re serving white, rose or sparkling wine, chill it lightly for at least two hours in the wine
cooler before serving. Most reds should be served at room temperature, or in the case of lighter
reds like Beaujolais, very slightly chilled.
Opened wine will remain in good condition for up to two days (for delicate whites) or three days
(for rich reds) as long as the bottle is resealed and stored in your wine cooler. Special stoppers
that keep sparkling wine and Champagne bubbling for one or two days after opening can be
bought at most good wine shops. When storing leftover wine, attempt to minimise the oxidation
process of the wine. You can use a ‘vacuum’ which pumps out the air in the bottle leaving a semi-
vacuum. The wine should last for about two weeks.
However, if it is a good quality wine and you intend to finish it within one week, all you’ll need to
do is to replace the cork and leave it standing in your wine cooler.
Different wines are best kept at different temperatures. To choose the temperature at which to
store your wines please consult the table below.
