If you are like most wine collectors – or just those who like to have a glass of wine with their meals – the purchase of a wine refrigerator is a good investment! Those folks who drink wine regularly know that wine tastes best when chilled to its appropriate temperature. Unfortunately, storing and chilling your wine collection in a home refrigerator is not a good idea because traditional refrigerators do not maintain proper temperature and humidity necessary for wine storage. Other options such as storage in a kitchen pantry or cabinet is not feasible since storage conditions can fluctuate which will cause the quality of the wine to deteriorate and cause spoilage. Another point to consider is that fine wine needs to be stored horizontally to keep the cork moist, and this is only possible with a special wine bottle refrigerator that allows this type of storage.
In case you’re a novice with wines and are looking to buy your first refrigerator, let’s review the ideal wine storage temperatures. The ideal temperature for storing and cooling wines is 55 to 58 degrees Fahrenheit. The best serving temperatures vary somewhat based upon the specific wine: champagne and sparkling wines 53-57 degrees F; light red wines 54-57 degrees F; rich red wine and full-bodied vintages 59-68 degrees F; light red 54-57 degrees F. When you are considering which refrigerator to purchase, make sure to take into account these temperatures and what type of wine you prefer in order to be able to select the best refrigerator for your needs.
Humidity is another important factor in deciding to buy a wine fridge. In order for a wine to maintain its fine taste, humidity levels of around 70% RH need to be maintained. At this level, the cork will not dry out and won’t allow oxygen to penetrate the bottle which would cause spoilage. Wine refrigerators control humidity by maintaining constant optimal conditions which will protect your fine wines.
The last thing to consider, perhaps the most important when choosing a wine refrigerator is your budget. With a limited budget, you can certainly purchase a compact wine cooler (such as a small 12-bottle refrigerator) which is adequate for you to start your wine collection if you plan to store only a few bottles. In this size, there are various refrigerators to pick from which will offer top quality and satisfaction. Conversely, if you are more serious about collecting wine and have a larger budget, you can easily find a refrigerator that will store a large quantity of bottles.
Purchasing a wine refrigerator to store all your wines of different types is a must for anyone who drinks or serves wine. A beginning hobbyist as well as more serious wine collector will see multiple benefits from optimal wine storage.

Who doesn’t love BBQ Chicken? Apart from vegetarians of course. It is just one of the most loved dishes around the globe and for good reasons. Chicken is a meat available to all, it is not overly expensive, a great source of protein, fills you up and makes you feel good! BBQ chicken does not have to be grilled or smoked it can be cooked in the oven too. The trick is knowing what items go into a good recipe so that you and your family enjoy the result.
Mustard, ketchup, garlic, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, cumin, cinnamon and sometimes beer are all ingredients to look out for if it is a traditional BBQ chicken you are after. If you want a more asian flavor to it look for ingredients like Hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, and ginger. BBQ chicken is about personal taste and there are a lot of recipes for it because it is a flexible dish. A good and easy recipe that you may want to try out is from Paula Deen and her show ‘Paula’s Home Cooking’. It is one that can be grilled or put in the oven and is called Deen’s Brothers BBQ Chicken. It is as follows:
Ingredients:1/4 cup dark brown sugar packed, 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder, tablespoons orange juice, teaspoon cayenne pepper, teaspoon liquid smoke, teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, chicken (3 1/2 pounds) cut into eight. Preparation: preheat the oven to 375F or if cooking on the grill brush it with olive oil. In a large bowl mix in all the ingredients apart from the chicken. Put aside a third of the sauce for later and then add the chicken in the bowl and move it around so that BBQ sauce coats it. If cooking in the oven place the chicken in a roasting pan and cook for 40-45 minutes or until properly cooked. If cooking on the grill cover it. Remember to use the BBQ sauce you set aside to baste the chicken after twenty minutes of cooking.
The chicken tastes great and it is a recipe anyone can follow, grilled or not. For those of you not used to cooking with liquid smoke this gives meat a smoked flavor and smell without having to actually smoke it. If you do not like smoked meat then just leave it out!
If you are not used to cutting up pieces of meat and are unsure how to cut a whole chicken into eight pieces ask your butcher to do it, or just buy chicken pieces! Either buy a selection of legs, thighs and breasts or go for just the thighs as these tend to be a lot cheaper than the breast and still taste good. Plus they will cook quicker so you can get to the eating quicker! Try it out and I am sure you will be happy with it.
