Wine preservation needs to pay attention to light, temperature and vibration, so when housewives intend to install wine cabinets, avoid making the following 4 mistakes:
Direct sunlight
Placing the cabinet in a place with direct sunlight is a rather serious mistake that greatly affects the quality of wine. The reason is that ultraviolet rays (UV) in sunlight will quickly damage wine. Sunlight will increase the temperature inside the cabinet, breaking down the organic compound structure of wine.
Although specialized wine cabinets often have UV-resistant glass doors, housewives should still avoid placing wine cabinets near windows or in the West, which is always hot. The best place to install wine cabinets is airy corners in the house.
Next to the stove or oven
Many families often design wine cabinets in the kitchen cabinet system for convenience when using. However, the kitchen is where the temperature changes continuously and is always in a hot state, so the heat radiating from the kitchen or the smell of food, grease and spices can creep in, affecting the quality as well as reducing the flavor of the wine.
Near the loudspeakers and stairs
Placing the wine cabinet next to the sound system or near the stairs also causes no small impact. Even very small vibrations but lasting continuously will affect the wine, causing the quality of the wine to be cloudy and have a strong sour taste.
Standing wine bottles
Housewives should also pay attention to how to arrange wine bottles using natural bottle buttons, placing them horizontally. The purpose is to keep the wine always in contact with the bottle button, helping the button to always be moist and expand, tightening the mouth of the bottle to preserve the wine.
If the bottle is left standing, the bottle knob will dry out, shrink to create a gap, and then air will enter, causing oxidation, causing the wine to become sour. With other types of wine with lids or strong wines, it can be left standing without worrying about affecting the quality.
