Browse Wine Coolers by Type and Style

 
Wine coolers are available in various types and style:

  • cooling technology used to keep the bottles inside the cabinet at the required temerature
  • compact countertop, full size freestanding, built-in under the counter,
  • the number of temperature zones – single zone, dual zone or multiple zone
  • the look and style of the wine storage unit: sleek stainless steel or furniture style

Based on Cooling Technology

Thermoeelctric Wine Coolers – they cool the interior of the cabinet without a compressor using the Peltier effect.

Usually smaller capacity units apply thermoelectric cooling. Silent operation, less noise and vibration, eco-friendliness (no cooling agent), less electricity consumption are considered  to be the main advantages of such wine storage appliances.

Most popular brands that make thermoelectric wine refrigerators are: Wine Enthusiast, Vinotemp, Avanti, EdgeStar, New Air.

Dual Zone

Selection of good-quality wine coolers with two independent temperature zones.

If you are a serious wine aficionado then you want to keep your favorite wines at their recommended temperature.

Dual zone wine refrigerators have two separate zones. Each with its own temp. controls and display.

So you place your

whites, sparkling wines in one of the zones, and
reds in the other zone.

Then set the temperature for the whites (41 – 50°F is ideal for most whites) and the reds (50 – 64°F is recommended for reds).

When you invite friends or family over for dinner you just pick the bottles you want to open and they are ready to drink.
