Wine dispensers allow wine lovers to open a variety of wines without worrying about wasted wine. Wine drinkers can sip and taste to their heart’s content while the wine is perfectly chilled and preserved. Read on to learn more about the benefits of owning a wine dispenser.

A wine dispenser is a self-contained system that both dispenses and stores wine. Wine dispensers feature a refrigerated chamber where wine is cooled. To preserve the wine, the dispenser uses argon or nitrogen gas to replace the oxygen inside the open bottle, keeping the wine fresh for several weeks. A dispensing system is operated using a digital controller. The user may select from one ounce, a full glass, or a free pouring option. Wine is dispensed from a nozzle directly into a wine glass, similar to how a soda machine pours pop.

Horizontal wine racks by Vinotemp

Did you know that the position in which wine is stored long-term can affect the way it tastes once it is uncorked? By storing your wine in the optimal orientation, you will ensure your wine has the flavors and aromas designed by the winemaker. There are three positions in which to store your wine; horizontal, tilted, and vertical. There are advantages and disadvantages to each orientation.

The ideal way to store wine is on a horizontal wine rack. When wine is stored on its side, the liquid inside the bottle is wetting the cork. When the cork is consistently moist, it maintains its seal and prevents any unwanted seepage. If the cork dries out, oxidization may occur, causing the wine to spoil. Storing wine on a horizontal wine rack also allows the sediment to settle and fall to the side of the bottle, which prevents spoilage. In addition to helping wine age gracefully, a horizontal wine rack looks beautiful. Many horizontal wine racks position the bottle so that its label faces out, showing off various vineyards’ different colors and designs. Horizontal wine racks are an attractive addition to any space and are available for a variety of installation methods including wall-mounted, tabletop, countertop, or floor installation.
