Wine fridges vs. mini fridges?

Are there any vital differences between mini fridges and wine fridges? I have a mini fridge that I’m not using, and I’m interested in using it to store some wine. If I turn the temperature down will that work, or do I need to fork out the big bucks for a wine fridge?

Actually you need to turn the mini fridge temperature UP. About 55F should do the trick. Better than leaving them out on the counter or in a cabinet, that’s for sure.

Refrigerators are designed to stay at 38F, because bacteria spreads at 40F. The rule with food is under 40 or over 140 to be safe. Wine fits right in this “danger” zone but doesn’t spoil because of the alcohol. That’s why they have wine fridges, they have different temperature controls.

So, set your mini fridge to the warmest setting, and see how cold it is. Anything under 50F is too cold for wine, you’ll end up damaging it. 55-60F is best. Think French cellar temperature not american room temperature.
