There are considerable differences between even refrigerated wine cellars and a small wine refrigerator you buy to put in your kitchen.
A genuine wine cellar often doesn’t even need refrigeration, being deep enough in the ground to be cooled naturally, but whether it’s artificially cooled or not, it tends to have much more temperature, humidity and even light consistency than a wine fridge.
A wine bottle refrigerator can serve very well for keeping wine ready to drink for a few months, but for long-term storage and aging of finer wines, it is an imperfect solution.
In a compressor-based wine bottle refrigerator, you could find the temperature fluctuating up to five degrees as the compressor cycles, which could adversely affect finer wines, and not keep even the more ordinary wines stable for much longer.
Combine this problem with a plastic interior liner, and cool temperatures are not easy to maintain consistently. A thermoelectric wine refrigerator, having solid state pumps with no moving parts, will reduce both temperature fluctuations and damaging vibrations, yet doesn’t cool the wine as efficiently as a compressor-based fridge.
A person who is serious about storing wine must always differentiate between a wine cellar and the smaller refrigerated wine cabinets. No review sites, like the Galt Buying Guide (www.galttech.com) for example, will ever equate the two, recognizing that wine refrigerators are best suited only for short-term storage.
A wine bottle refrigerator will never be a full substitute for a full-fledged wine cellar, particularly when it comes to storing fine wine that needs to age for longer than a few months.
