Features and Reviews of Caple Wine Refrigerators
Caple wine coolers are well-constructed, sturdy appliances, made with quality materials and care.
The cabinets and the base of the units are stainless steel ensuring durability for many years.
The see-through, stainless steel-framed glass doors are tinted to filter out UV rays but provide a fine view of your wine collection.
To enhance the display you can illuminate the bottles by turning on the white interior light.
Most models display temperature on a blue digital screen that matches nicely with the sleek stainless steel look.
Besides being attractive, Caple wine cabinets are offered at affordable prices so you don’t have to spend a large chunk of money yet you will have a very sleek and modern wine storage cooler.
