A wine cooler is a short-term storage device (less than a year). It's used to store wine at proper serving temperatures.
They vary greatly in size, appearance and features.
A wine rack by itself can be used to store wine for less than 6 months. Additional wine-cellar equipment is needed for long-term storage.
Wine racks usually come in metal or wood, they can be plain or decorative. You can store standard bottles or magnums. Even if you're not
interested in long-term storage, you need to know how to protect your wine.
Wine cabinets are designed to provide the proper environment for long-term wine storage. The length of time depends on your goals and the
wine itself. Not all wine can or should be aged. Wine cabinets may resemble refrigerators or high-end furniture.
Want to build a wine cellar? In addition to wine racks you need insulation, the proper lighting, a cooling unit, heat and humidity
sensors. A large wine cellar may need tasting tables or an electronic inventory system. Not to mention other decorative touches.
