The culture of winemaking and drinking wine has a long tradition. The wine collection will require a solution to the issue of storing bottles in the house. A wooden wine bottle holder is one of the options for placing noble drinks.
Features of storing bottles of wine in a house, apartment
If you do not have a wine cellar, do not despair, bottles of wine can also be stored in a city apartment. In this case, it is necessary to adhere to the fundamental rules for storing wine in bottles, namely:
Constant temperature mode. The optimal storage conditions for wines is the temperature range from 10°C to 15°C. In this interval, the wine retains its qualities, it can be served to guests almost immediately. For white wines, the serving temperature is 9°С-12°С, for red wines - 15°С -17°С. At high temperatures, wines age quickly, lose their freshness and delicate aroma. The influence of low temperatures is detrimental to wines, they cease to ripen, the drink is irrevocably deprived of the characteristics inherent in the variety. A sharp temperature drop is unacceptable, natural cork becomes unusable. The tightness is broken, oxygen (a strong oxidizing agent) enters the bottle, and the oxidation process begins. Champagne, white and rosé wines are the most temperature sensitive.
Constant humidity mode. For storing wine at home, the optimum humidity is between 60% and 80%. Under these conditions, natural corks do not dry out, and mold does not form.
Lighting mode. Wines are stored in dark places. Bright lighting accelerates the aging process of the drink. Under direct sunlight, the drink quickly deteriorates, loses its original taste. Champagne should be stored in the far corners of the room, where very little light enters, this also applies to storing homemade wine in bottles with a narrow neck, closed with appropriate corks.
Horizontal mode. Wines sealed, for example, with natural corks, are stored only in a horizontal position. This condition must be met in order for the cork to be constantly in contact with the drink. In this case, the cork is not deformed (dries up). For bottles sealed with silicone or other types of corks, horizontality is not important during storage.
Complete rest mode. The state of rest is very important for wine, vibrations are not allowed.
An open bottle of wine can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 3 days (for champagne - 1 day) with a well-closed cork. Due to the increased content of sugar and alcohol, dessert and fortified wines can be kept uncorked and tightly closed for up to a week.
In the conditions of a country house without a cellar, a city apartment, the following solutions can be considered acceptable options for preserving stocks of wine, collections:
Case-thermostat for wine. Winemaking has its fans and collectors. And for those who have collected enough collectible items and allow the family budget, an acceptable solution would be to purchase a thermostat cabinet.

The capacity of such products ranges from 50-500 bottles.
Wine cabinets and wine racks. These items can serve both purely utilitarian purposes and decorate the interior. Wine racks are an excellent solution in an apartment. There are many varieties: wooden, designer, metal, etc. The dimensions depend on how many bottles you need to place and whether the area of \u200b\u200bthe room allows.
