What the AI looks for in Wine Cabinets

Horizontal bottle storage
Bottles held on their side in individual slots or cradles This keeps corks moist and the bottles stable.
Slot diameter
About 3.5 in or more if you want room for Champagne and Burgundy bottles Many racks are sized for slim Bordeaux bottles, and wider bottles will not fit.
Placement
Away from sunlight, ovens and heating vents Heat and UV light degrade wine in an unrefrigerated cabinet.
Storage horizon
Cabinets suit bottles you will drink within months; use a wine cooler for aging Only a refrigerated unit keeps the steady cool temperature that aging needs.

What to avoid

  • Tight slots that scrape bottle labels
  • Decorative racks that store bottles upright
