Wine Guardian Self-Contained Wine Cooling Units

What is a Self-Contained Wine Cellar Cooling Unit?

A self-contained cooling unit is a single, all-in-one system that arrives fully assembled and ready for easy installation. These units combine a condenser and evaporator, eliminating the need for a separate drain and venting hot air through a rear or top ducted exhaust. Self-contained cooling units provide a cool air supply through a bottom or horizontal duct and are designed to maintain a temperature range of 50° to 65°F, with a humidity range of 50 to 75 RH. They are ideal for long-term wine storage, ensuring your wine collection remains safe from perishing or over-aging.

Ideal Temperature and Humidity Levels for a Wine Cellar

Maintaining the right temperature and humidity levels is crucial for preserving the quality of fine wines. The ideal storage temperature for wine is generally between 55° to 57° F (12° to 14° C), with acceptable ranges from 45° to 65° F (7° to 18° C). The ideal humidity level for a wine cellar is around 60% relative humidity, with up to 80% being acceptable. These conditions help prevent cork deterioration and oxidation, ensuring your wine remains at its peak flavor.

How to Store Wine Properly

Wine is a living thing that evolves over time, and proper storage is essential to maintain its quality. Traditional wine caves in France offer the ideal environment with their dark, cool spaces and stable humidity. For those who can’t access a French wine cave, self-contained wine cellars or cabinets provide an excellent alternative. These units create a contained environment that maintains the cool, dark conditions necessary for preserving the quality and flavor of fine wines.
