Do you know that your wine collection could also be stored in a wine cabinet, aside from wine cooler refrigerators?
A Wine Cabinet is not a Wine Fridge, but it is similar to a mini bar that is climate-controlled. It is designed not only to replicate the conditions found in the best natural underground wine cellars, without the excavation costs, but it is also designed to blend in with other formal furniture.
It can be made of either durable melamine laminates or hand-crafted wooden exteriors, Adjustable Humidity Control, High Performance Air Filtration System, Top or Rear-Vent Exhaust, Electronic Thermostat, and Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation. It can also be made of either forced air or cold wall cooling systems. By controlling humidity, temperature, UV light and ventilation and limiting damaging vibrations as well, you are ensuring, thereby, the maintenance of your wine's quality as well as ensuring your wines mature under optimal conditions and are always served intact.

Two Types of Compressor-Based Cooling Systems Used in Wine Cabinets and Cellars
Forced-air Cooling Systems
By far the most common type of cooling system, the Forced-air cooling systems are typically self-enclosed units mounted at the top of the wine cabinet or cellar. They make use of powerful fans to blow air across cold surfaces, called evaporator coils, and into the wine cooler cabinet. These units are easy to remove, repair and/or replace because they are entirely self-enclosed. One more advantage is these units give more even temperatures and less stratification inside the wine cabinet or cellar.
But, these systems are said to be slightly louder than cold-wall cooling systems when the fans are “on”. Unfortunately, the fans are necessary in creating and maintaining even temperatures throughout the cabinet or cellar.
Cold-wall Cooling Systems
On the other hand, these systems are typically fully-integrated into the construction of the wine cabinets, having compressors placed at the bottom of the cabinet, and evaporator coils running up and down the rear of the cabinet.
However, cold-wall systems sometimes tend to have a difficulty in maintaining even temperatures throughout the cabinet. It also tends to strip too much moisture and humidity from the air inside the cabinet. Also, another disadvantage, cold-wall systems is difficult to replace and expensive to repair as they are integrated into the walls of the wine cabinet.
