How Far Are You From The Ideal Wine Cellar?



The wine cellar is like a comfortable nest for wine, The ideal wine cellar should meet the following basic requirements:

Temperature: The temperature requirements of wine are harsh. The normal aging temperature of wine is between 10℃~16℃, and the highest temperature should not exceed 24℃, otherwise the wine will be destroyed. But the most important thing is that the temperature must be constant and stable, because temperature changes not only cause expansion and contraction of the wine, it is easy for the wine to seep out of the cork and accelerate the oxidation of the wine. The most important thing is that the sudden change in temperature will cause the wine to age during the aging process. Unwanted substances are produced, causing flavor variation and even deterioration. So as long as it can maintain a constant temperature of 5°C to 20°C, it is acceptable, but a wine cellar that is too cold will make the wine grow slowly and have to wait a longer time. If it is too hot, it will mature too quickly, and it will be less rich and detailed. Therefore, constant temperature control is the key to wine cellar design.



Humidity: The purpose of ventilation is to maintain better air in the wine cellar. Too much alcohol volatilizes and the air is not smooth, which will form flammable gas accumulation, which is more dangerous. Better air is also conducive to the breathing of the staff and helps keep the wine cellar dry. In addition, many wines breathe strongly, and foreign odors can easily enter the bottle through the cork and cap, and even be absorbed by the wine. Particular attention should be paid to prevent items with strong odors such as detergents, pickles, stinky tofu, cheese, etc. from entering the wine cellar. Humidity of about 55%-75% is good for wine storage. Too wet will easily rot the cork and wine label, and too dry will cause the cork to dry out and lose its elasticity, making it impossible to seal the bottle tightly. The humidity control is also a problem that needs attention during the construction of the wine cellar.



Shock: Vibration interference can also easily cause premature wines. For example, wine cellars near railways or earthquake sources often deteriorate the wine quality. According to wine experts, the style of wine that has been shaken can change a lot. Many "delicate" wines often need to "rest" for two weeks after long-term earthquakes (such as transportation shocks) to restore their original style.



Light: Natural lighting is disadvantageous for wine storage. Natural light, especially direct sunlight, is likely to cause sick wine. Natural light may also aggravate the oxidation process of wine, resulting in weak taste, turbidity, and discoloration. It is best to use artificial lighting in the wine cellar, and the intensity and method of lighting should be appropriately controlled.



Private family wine cellars have become the general trend. As an urban wine family, are you really far from it?

Air Exchange System Cost Factors

图片
  While the fee vary is no longer vast, there are positive factors that can extend or limit your fresh air exchange system costs .   When buying an air exchanger, it’s important to reflect onconsideration on the efficiency of the temperature transfer between the air coming into the home and the air exiting the home. The transfer range can vary between 50% and 85%, so this is a primary object to reflect onconsideration on when evaluating units. In most circumstances, a slower blower speed consequences in higher efficiency due to the fact there is extra time for the air to trade energy. As expected, this will raise your set up cost.   Another object to reflect onconsideration on is the quantity of electrical energy that is fed on via the blower motor in a particular unit. Some units use more strength than others. This will of path increase your monthly utility costs. As such, it’s normally price high-quality to pay extra upfront and keep on your ongoing electric powered bil...

Don't Use the Fridge Anymore, You Need a Wine Room Cooler!

图片
  If there is no dedicated wine cabinet, many people will choose to put the unfinished wine into the refrigerator. Most people think that the refrigerator also has the capacity of cooling and moisturizing, which is similar to the professional wine cabinet. But in fact, for wine, it really differs; sometimes, it may cause a fatal impact on the wine. Now, let's analyze the difference between a refrigerator and a professional constant temperature wine room coolers.   1. The capacity of keeping a constant temperature The best storage temperature for wine should be around 13℃. The  wine room coolers self contained  has its own professional precision compressor and temperature controller, which is very accurate and stable for temperature control. Although the refrigerator can set the temperature, there is still a particular gap between the actual temperature and the set temperature. The difference may be about 5℃-6℃, so the refrigerator's temperature is actually in an unst...
