Contemplate Each Variable
When deciding on a wine cabinet, the size is not the only variable to consider.
Location and size of the space
Which size to choose is very dependent on the location measurements and the capacity requirements. Single temperature cabinets can be adjustable from 6 ° C to 18 ° C. The temperature will be set dependent on one of two purposes:
1: For the long-term storage of wine
2: To store wine at a drinkable temperature
The purpose of storage will also decipher which bottles are stored. All wine requires the same temperature for long term storage, whereas a drinkable wine can vary in the temperature requirement. Once the purpose has been decided, a suitable location and capacity requirements can be chosen.
Capacity
The capacity required is a relatively simple conundrum to solve. Once the purpose has been decided, capacity can be calculated on two factors; one, how many bottles are you currently in position of for storage, and two, are you planning to grow said collection? Remember, this cabinet has a purpose and may not be a suitable storage location for all your collection – that is why deciding on the suitable use is the first question to ask.
Shelf layout
For ageing wine and long-term storage, storage shelves are a great option for increasing capacity. Whilst sliding shelves offer great access and visuals without having the remove bottles individually. Each shelf has been designed to hold labels for instant identification.
Door options
All doors are argon filled. No matter the purpose or location, the bottles within are protected from outside elements, including UV. Doors offer a unique finish and combine with presentation shelves; a feature can be created from the storage space. Solid doors are a great option for simply storage.
