Although the classification of wine is a very complicated matter employing different bases, they can be very broadly classified into red, white, and sparkling wines. Each of these has its own unique taste and aroma as well as recommended serving temperature. Wine experts recommend 55 to 65°F for reds, 48 to 52°F for whites, and 43 to 47°F for sweet and sparkling wines. If you and your family and friends enjoy all three types, you will need a wine cooler that can store all three types at their proper temperatures, like the U-Line Origins Wine Captain Model 1075WC.
The wine cooler has a default setting of 50°F in all zones but this is easily adjusted to your desired temperature level using the numbered dial mounted on the grille. Once set, temperature remains constant. This, along with the maintenance of a 50% relative humidity, provides an excellent condition for the preservation of your wine collection.
The Wine Captain 1075WC has a capacity of 48 750mL bottles stored in six wine racks. These are sliding racks that can be pulled out up to ¾ of their lengths providing easy access to the wine bottles. Stainable maple trims add class and style to the racks although these can be replaced with other trim.
With a cabinet that is textured in black vinyl and a door frame in stainless steel, the cooler exudes elegance and style. The door frame encloses a thermal-tempered glass door that is tinted to prevent the entry of UV rays that could adversely affect your wine. It also holds a full-height door handle made of stainless steel.
Your wine collection can be showcased through the glass door with a little help from an indoor lighting system that can be set to stay on continually, lighting up your bottles. It can also be programmed to light up only when the door is opened providing you with light to read wine labels.
With the vents in front, the cooler can be installed either within a counter or freestanding. It measures about 34″ H x 24″ W x 23″ D.
