"Wine storage is all about control, control, control. Allowing a bottle to age gracefully requires stabilizing the temperature, the humidity, and the light that can get at the wine inside, sometimes for years on end. High temps can cook the wine, low humidity can dry out the cork and let oxygen sneak in the bottle. Goguette wine fridges, a new spin-off of the elite wine storage brand Eurocave, are control freaks built to stop all that."
""Eurocave is aimed at experts, collectors, lovers of fine things, and professionals," he wrote me. The wide range of Eurocave fridges available make it possible for wine connoisseurs to get exactly what they need from an appliance-some have a single temperature setting for long term storage, some have up to 10 different zones. But what's great for a hardcore collector can feel overwhelming for the more casual vinophile."
A couple returned to the Paso Robles winery where they married and bought 2019 and 2021 vintages to cellar until their children reach legal drinking age. The buyer lacked proper long-term storage experience and previously stored bottles inconsistently. Proper wine aging requires stabilizing temperature, humidity, and light to prevent heat damage, cork drying, and oxygen ingress. Goguette wine fridges, a Eurocave spin-off, deliver simplified plug-and-play climate control aimed at casual collectors. Eurocave's broader product line provides multi-zone precision and configurable options suited to experts, professionals, and serious collectors.
