1. With the surge in popularity regarding everything related to wine, the great news is that more and more options are available when buying a wine cooler. Buy something a bit larger that will accommodate your growing interests and collection of bottles.

2. Consider dual temperature zones within your wine storage cooler. This way you can easily serve red and white wines simultaneously.

3. Many models of wine coolers include more insulation and specially treated glass to help maintain exact temperatures. This is especially important if the temperature of your home fluctuates.

4. Look for a humidity control component when shopping for a wine cooler. This will help keep air circulating and reduce mold and mildew.

5. Wine cooler cabinets that have adjustable shelves are also worth considering. Bottles vary in size - such as Champagne bottles or magnums - and having shelves of varying sizes is a bonus.
