A few wine lovers discussed a serious wine shipping issue in the Wine Cellar Insider forum. One talked about his countless instances when he received wines either cooked in the summer time or frozen in the winter time, even with overnight shipping option. Another agreed that this is a serious concern and because of this the actual taste of wine could be lost.
Phase Change Materials (PCM) oscillate between solid and liquid phase within a certain temperature range (Mansfield). When the environment’s temperature is higher than that of the PCM, heat transfers from the surroundings to the material, which creates a cooling effect and changes PCM’s state from solid to liquid. When the environment’s temperature is lower than that of the PCM, heat transfers from the PCM to the surroundings, generating a warming effect and PCM changes back to its solid state.
