Commercial Wine Cooler Refrigerators - Encourage Wine Consumption

If you own or manage a restaurant, a hotel or a bar a commercial wine cooler refrigerator seems like a good investment. Displaying your wine selection in an attractive wine cooler cabinet will encourage your guests to taste some of the wines to their meals.

Restaurants usually have both red and white wines on their wine list. Whites and reds require different cooling and drinking temperatures. Reds can be enjoyed the best when drunk at 55 ºF while recommended drinking temperature for whites is 45 ºF - 50 ºF.

If you plan to keep both red and white wines in the wine cooler then you'll need a dual zone wine refrigerator.

Another factor to consider when searching for a commercial wine cooler is that how many bottles do you plan to keep in it? Wine refrigerators vary in capacity from small 6-bottle coolers up to large, professional refrigerators or air-conditioned wine cabinets that can hold 100 or more bottles.

If there's little space in your restaurant or bar then look for a slim or small commercial wine cooler.

For a larger capacity unit find out about some of the top 100-bottle wine refrigerators which usually have two distinct temperature zones and security lock & key set to keep wiens locked away.

Another space-economic option is to get a built-in commercial wine cooler or a slim wine cooler designed to fit into narrow spaces.

Commercial wine coolers come in a variety of designs and decors (stainless-steel, wooden) so you can match the unit to your restaurant's or bar's furnishings. A stainless steel wine cooler exudes professionalism and cool elegance, while a wooden wine cabinet looks highly sophisticated and resembles more like a piece of furniture.

Other Features to Look For when Buying a Commercial Wine Cooler Include:

• adjustable thermostat - an electronic thermostat ensures easy and accurate temperature control
  
  
• good thermal insulation: double pane doors and a sturdy cabinet will prevent warm ambient air from getting inside the cooler cabinet
  
  
• tinted glass door to protect wine from sunlight - UV light exposure can spoil wine in the long run
  
  
• interior light - the interior illumination showcases the wine bottle nicely
  
  
• adjustable shelves, and
  
  
• security door lock system
