Wine cooler season…

Visualise…
With the BBQ season almost upon us, now is the time to invest in those perfect summer essentials. Let’s take a moment to forward in time and imagine a Saturday afternoon. The sky is blue and the sun is beaming. You’re at home in the back garden with a bunch of your closest friends or family. The kids are splashing around in their blow-up paddling pool and the tunes are blasting through the kitchen window. The Barbie (Australian slang for BBQ, I believe) is smoking and grilling all your favourite foods. The amazing crisp BBQ smell is filling the air. Inside you’ve laid out all the nibbles, burger baps, condiments and salads on the table. You’ve really put on a lovely spread for your loved ones. As the afternoon ends and the evening draws closer, the kids are in bed and so out comes the wine. The wine you store in a gorgeous wine cooler. Your multi temperature wine cooler. You’ve got white wine for Sally, a perfect cool red for Paul and a cheeky bottle of chilled Prosecco for you and Sarah. Bottles, temperatures and flavours to suit all your guests. Smiles and laughter as you clink glasses in a cheer to life and good health. Just picture it. Your perfect summers day. Your perfect best of British BBQ. You need that wine cooler, right? I mean it adds the ultimate perfect touch to your party hosting, right? Yeah… I need one now too. This visualisation has literally got me so excited for the summer. I can almost taste the BBQ food and of course the vino too.

Now we’ve set the scene, let’s get into it. You don’t have to be a wine expert to fully appreciate a beautifully designed wine cooler. Nor do you have to be a massive wine drinker to have one either. Some models have shelves that enable you to store beer and lager too.

Top sellers…
We have a fantastic range of wine coolers by top brands, in varying sizes, colours and zones to suit any home. A few of our current top sellers consist of the Caple WI3121 30cm under counter wine cooler (perfect for if your space is limited), the CDA FWC303SS 30cm freestanding slim line under counter wine cooler (perfect if you have a narrow space), Fisher & Paykel RF356RDWX1 60cm freestanding dual zone wine cooler (perfect if you like to drink both red and white wine) and Liebherr WKB4212 60cm Vinothek wine cooler (perfect for storing your favourite wine). All models are made to satisfy all your wine needs.

Wine temperatures…
Those of you who may be a bit of a wine connoisseur will know that red and white wines need to be stored at different temperatures. Let’s get wine specific. Red wines should be served at a warmer temperature than white wines because they contain more tannin (polyphenol). At higher temperatures, tannin reacts more swiftly to oxygen. This process is referred to as: the wine breathing. A desirable effect – for only once the wine is saturated with oxygen, does it unfold its full aroma and flavours. It’s all very fancy, isn’t it? Bottles of champagne and Prosecco taste better after they have been chilled, making the bubbles taste crisp, so even if you don’t drink great amounts of wine, there is nothing to say you can’t buy a wine cooler and fill it up with champagne. Personally, that would so be my thing!

Wine coolers come in either single or multi temperature zones so you can choose which suits your wine drinking more. For example, if you like both red and white wine, maybe even rose too – a multi temperature zone wine cooler would be a better fit for your needs. This way you can store all wines at their optimum storage temperatures for the perfect drinking. Multi temperature wine coolers come in a choice of sizes and you can either buy under counter or upright. If, however you only drink white wine or prosecco for example, then consider a single temperature zone wine cooler as these are better suited for only storing one type of wine. Single zone wine coolers come in a larger variety of sizes and come as either under counter or upright. Most wine coolers are available in either stainless-steel or black glass and look incredibly stylish with their LED lighting and visible shelves. Some models can either be single doors or double doors too – there really is a choice for everyone and every home. We have a wide range of both integrated and freestanding wine coolers from top selling brands such as Caple, Liebherr, Miele, Bosch, CDA and Fisher&Paykel simply to name a few.
