Wine Fridge & Wine Cabinet Suppliers in Hobart

The size of wine fridge you need depends on how many bottles of wine you plan to store and the space you have available. A standard 24-inch wine fridge can hold up to 46 bottles, while a smaller 15-inch wine fridge can hold up to 26 bottles. Consider your storage needs and available space before choosing a wine fridge size.

The ideal temperature range for a wine fridge is between 45-65°F (7-18°C), with a recommended temperature of 55°F (13°C) for most wines.

Yes, you can store both red and white wine in the same fridge, but it is recommended to keep them at different temperatures. Red wine should be stored at a slightly warmer temperature (around 55-65°F) while white wine should be stored at a cooler temperature (around 45-55°F). If you have a dual-zone wine fridge, you can set different temperatures for each zone to accommodate both red and white wines. If you only have a single-zone fridge, you can try to find a temperature that is suitable for both types of wine, but it may not be ideal for either.

A thermoelectric wine fridge uses a small electric current to transfer heat from one side of the fridge to the other, while a compressor wine fridge uses a refrigerant and compressor to cool the air inside. Thermoelectric wine fridges are generally quieter and more energy-efficient, but may not be as effective in very hot environments. Compressor wine fridges are more powerful and can maintain a consistent temperature in a wider range of temperatures, but may be noisier and use more energy.

The number of bottles a wine fridge can hold depends on its size and capacity. Small wine fridges can hold around 6-12 bottles, while larger ones can hold up to 50 or more bottles. It is important to check the specifications of the wine fridge before purchasing to determine its capacity.

It is not necessary to have a built-in wine fridge, as a freestanding one can also effectively store and chill wine. However, a built-in wine fridge may be more aesthetically pleasing and can be integrated into cabinetry for a seamless look. Additionally, built-in wine fridges may have more advanced features such as dual temperature zones and UV protection. Ultimately, the choice between a built-in or freestanding wine fridge depends on personal preference and the specific needs of the individual.

When looking for a wine fridge, there are several features to consider. These include:

• Temperature control: Look for a fridge that allows you to control the temperature to ensure your wine is stored at the optimal temperature.
• Capacity: Consider the number of bottles you want to store and choose a fridge with enough capacity to accommodate them.
• Humidity control: Wine needs to be stored in a humid environment to prevent corks from drying out. Look for a fridge with humidity control features.
• UV protection: UV rays can damage wine, so look for a fridge with UV protection to keep your wine safe.
• Noise level: If you plan to keep your wine fridge in a living space, consider the noise level of the fridge.
• Design: Choose a fridge that fits your style and décor.

Energy efficiency: Look for a fridge with an energy-efficient rating to save on electricity costs.

However, wine fridges typically produce a low humming noise, similar to a refrigerator, which is generally not loud enough to be disruptive. The noise level can vary depending on the brand, model, and location of the wine fridge. Some high-end models are designed to be virtually silent, while others may produce more noise due to their cooling system or compressor.

It depends on the specific wine fridge model. Some wine fridges have adjustable shelves that can be moved to accommodate larger bottles, while others have fixed shelves that cannot be adjusted. It is important to check the specifications of the wine fridge before purchasing to ensure that it can accommodate the size of the bottles you plan to store.

The cost of a wine fridge can vary depending on the size, features, and brand. A small, basic model can cost around $100, while a larger, high-end model can cost upwards of $2,000. On average, a good quality wine fridge can cost between $300 and $800.
