Power consumption is in my opinion not too high, because a good wine needs just its temperature. For me it was about 75 euros a year (gross). No money, when I think about what the wine cost.
For me, this detached unit is optimal and have been prepared in the kitchen on a unneeded workspace. Thus, I do not have to bend down and can take the bottles optimally in stand or filling.
The operation is really easy to set plug into the outlet, temperature of both compartments and ready. But one thing is still to say, the putative A / End is only for switching between C and F. Unfortunately, a switch for deaktieren the refrigerator is completely missing. I personally did not miss that, because the machine is always running.
The blue LEDs illuminate at night refrigerate something, but details inside can not be seen. No matter, still looks elegant and beautiful. ;)
The processing of Korpuses and doors, along with hinges in my opinion are optimal.
The noise of the fan is m. E. have not been described as high as some other customers, this. This part is indeed normally not in the bedroom.
I want to give a few tips regarding the temperatures, which of course does not have to apply to everyone here.
Temperature ranges and recommended serving temperature red wines:
10 ° C and below:
This temperature range is not recommended because the nuances and the species-specific expression of the wine disappear.
12 ° C - 13 ° C:
A young, fruity wine can develop its best aroma in these drinking temperatures.
15 ° C - 18 ° C:
The robust, characterful red wine develops its aromatic substances here.
From 16 ° C the wine bouquet comes into its own.
over 20 ° C:
The evaporation rate is too high, the smell is too intense, characteristics reinforce and are perceived unpleasant part.

Temperature ranges and recommended serving temperature White wines:
6 ° C - 10 ° C:
This area of the serving temperature applies to sweet wines and liqueur wines.
8 ° C - 10 ° C:
Light and young wines can be enjoyed at a temperature below 10 ° C drinking temperature.
9 ° C - 11 ° C:
Dry and fresh white wine is drunk typical at 10 ° C.
11 ° C - 13 ° C:
Spicy and ripe white wines require a drinking temperature of average 12 ° C.
12 ° C - 14 ° C:
That would be the recommended serving temperature for the semi-dry and full-bodied white wine.

Bring wine to drinking temperature:
It is in the nature of things that temperatures will compensate. It's always just a matter of time before this state is approximately equal occurred. How fast this process is going on, is highly dependent on the thermal conductivity of the vessel and of the heat capacity of the environment. In general, wine is kept in glass bottles and drinking from glasses, hence both heat engineering parameters of the material are permanently set.
In cold wine, which is paid into the glass, therefore it must be expected that a rise in temperature by drinking this exchange by about 2 ° C. How is the remedy, is obvious: cool glass or serving the wine cooler.
The heat conduction is also the reason why a glass is to be long-stalked, so you take the glass by the stem, not the cup, so that the hand heat does not affect the wine temperature.
How fast the drinking temperature can be achieved by cooling or heating, depending on the cooling medium and course of the temperature difference to the cooling object (wine bottle).
The efficiency of air as cooling or Anwärmmittel is low, and it requires some waiting time. A lucky really, because this allows us to enjoy the already properly tempered wine slowly and do not rush into a breeze in us him.
A rapid change in temperature of the wine is achieved if the bottle, as needed, in cold or heated water is (the Cham brate = bring to room temperature) is provided. If you want to bring a wine from 10 ° C to 15 ° C and use water at 20 ° C for so you need about 8 to 10 minutes. Put the other hand, from the 10 ° C cold wine of air with 20 ° C, the wine reached after about 2 hours, 15 ° C.
For effective cool down to drinking temperature cooling collars are commercially available. These are kept in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator, removed when needed and pushed over the bottle of wine. This invention know wine connoisseurs especially appreciated on hot summer days.
