Wine coolers and wine cabinets

Choosing a wine cabinet

When choosing a wine cabinet, distinguish serving wine from longer-term storage. Compare the model’s temperature range, number of zones and bottle capacity. A dual-zone model lets you choose different serving temperatures for different wines; check each zone’s adjustment range.

Check the manufacturer’s data for cooling type, noise level, bottle and shelf compatibility, and installation requirements. Humidity control, UV protection, vibration reduction and suitability for built-in installation depend on the model; do not assume every wine cabinet has them.

What to check

• When comparing bottle capacities, check the bottle shape and size used by the manufacturer; wider bottles may reduce the number that fits.
• Temperatures and zones: check each zone’s adjustment range and the model’s suitability for your intended serving or storage conditions.
• Noise and vibration: compare the manufacturer’s data and consider whether the cabinet will stand in a dining room, hotel or separate room.
• Glazing and lighting: check the manufacturer’s specifications for UV protection and interior lighting.
• Installation: check whether the model is built-in or freestanding and what ventilation and clearances the manufacturer requires.

Where to use it

For a restaurant, shop, hotel or home, choose a model by bottle count, required temperatures and available space. To cool an entire wine cellar, browse wine cellar air conditioners; wine racks are also available for arranging bottles.
