How big of a wine cooler do I need?
Smaller units are great for small spaces, the most popular being 18-inches wide which holds 40-50 bottles of wine. The smaller units are also great for open shelving or a kitchen island.
What should I look for when buying a wine fridge?
The most important thing you can look for when buying a wine fridge is the temperature range. If you are serving wine at higher temperatures (like 75 degrees) you will need a fridge that is capable of cooling the bottles down to your ideal serving temperature. If you are serving wine at lower temperatures (like 45 degrees) you may need to get a fridge with a single temperature zone. If you are serving wine at a range of temperatures, you will want a fridge with two temperature zones. Remember, the ideal serving temperature for most wines is 50 to 55 degrees.
How long do wine fridges last?
The newest wine coolers are built to last for many years and are robust and dependable. We recommend purchasing a new wine cooler if your current model is more than 5 years old.
