1. What temperature should wine be stored at?

Most wines should be stored between 10–14°C, with minimal fluctuation.

2. Can I use a regular fridge for wine?

No. Standard fridges are too cold and dry, which can damage wine over time.

3. What is the difference between built-in and fully integrated wine coolers?

Built-in models require ventilation planning, while fully integrated models are plug & play with no cabinet ventilation required.

4. Do wine coolers need ventilation?

Yes. Built-in units require airflow, while fully integrated systems handle ventilation internally.
