| The best way to store wine
 If you're a budding wine aficionado, you've probably (definitely) found yourself lusting after wine fridges. But are they worth the investment?
It's certainly true that the main function of a wine fridge, storing your wine at a consistent, regulated temperature (generally somewhere between 45°F and 50°F for whites and between 55°F and 65°F for reds), is important. Over time, temperature variations cause the wine cork to expand and contract, which in turn sucks unwanted oxygen into the bottle and kills your wine.
Fitted with horizontal bottle racks, standalone wine coolers can store your wines at a fixed temperature to prevent oxidation and change in flavor—and, of course, they'll ensure that wines are held at the optimal temperature for serving, too. Plus, given the wide range of varietals and styles of wines you might be storing, many wine fridges offer multiple temperature zones.
But, even so, is it really worth shelling out hundreds (or sometimes thousands!) of dollars for a dedicated wine fridge if you're only keeping a few bottles around that you'll drink over the course of a week? We tapped a few wine pros to answer these burning questions. Read more here, or find a few of our favorite wine fridges below.
