The 16 Best Built-in Wine Coolers

If you’ve just started getting interested in wine, you’ll need to store your wine so it stays at its best.

Popping a bottle of wine in the fridge outside of an emergency is really not wise. Kitchen fridges don’t have the right temperature range or humidity levels for storing wine properly. Beyond this, it’s not good to store wine bottles upright either. This will cause the cork to dry out as the liquid won’t be in contact with it.

Instead, you should consider buying a dedicated wine fridge so you can keep your investment properly stored for both short-term and long-term consumption.

There are 3 main types of wine cooler commonly available:

• Built-in cooler: These coolers slot under the counter and you can built them into existing kitchen cabinetry. They typically feature vents so the unit won’t overheat
• Freestanding cooler: These wine coolers can be installed just about anywhere
• Countertop cooler: Countertop coolers are usually very small and not ideal for more than a few bottles of vino

Today, we’ll be focusing purely on finding the best built-in wine coolers. We’re working on a separate guide for freestanding fridges so come back soon if that seems more suitable.

If you’ve never considered investing in a built-in wine cooler before, you may have no idea what you should look out for. Before our reviews, then, we’ll outline what to look for on the buying trail.

• Number of cooling zones: If you drink exclusively red or white wines, you can get away with a single-zone cooler. If you collect mixed wines, you’ll know red and white wines should be stored at different temperatures. A dual-zone cooler gives you independently-controlled zones so you can keep both types of wine stored the way it should be. With some upscale coolers, you get a third zone intended for sparkling wines and champagnes
• Compressor or thermoelectric cooling: For a quiet and efficient wine cooler, look for one with compressor-based cooling. You can thank us later
• Capacity: Think about how many bottles of wine you need to store right now. You should also think about how you see your collection developing over time. When manufacturers state capacities for wine coolers, they tend to be ambitious. If you’re in any doubt when you’re comparing capacities, choose the larger one, assuming you have the space in the kitchen
• Temperature memory function: If you frequently experience power outages, look for wine coolers that reset to the current temperature settings
• Lockable door: Keep kids and teens out and your wine safe on coolers with a lockable door
• Tempered glass: This keeps the UV rays that can damage your wine out

OK, with those basics in place – you can also watch out for extras like LED lights and smart controls – you should now be ready to explore the best built-in wine coolers on the market. We’ll get right down to business now with our reviews, so dig in!

In the upper zone of this unit, chill white wines between 40F and 50F. Down below, you have space for bottles of your favorite red wine. You can keep this cooled to slightly warmer temperatures of between 50F and 66F. If you’re only planning to drink one type of wine, this is not such a crucial aspect to consider. For all lovers of red and white, a dual-zone unit is a must.

You get plenty of flexibility when it comes to installation. This unit is designed to be left freestanding or built into your existing kitchen cabinets.

Inside, you’ll have space for 45 bottles of your favorite vino. This is based on standard-sized 750ml bottles of Bordeaux. If you’re looking to accommodate bulkier bottles – champagne bottles or magnums, for instance – you’ll need to adjust your expectations in terms of capacity.

The compressor-based cooling means this wine fridge runs quietly and without much vibration. Vibration can agitate the sediment in your wine bottles and impair the overall taste. A pair of interior fans take care of cooling without kicking up a racket.

Inside, blue interior LEDs keep harsh light away from your wine. You’ll be able to check out your collection without opening the door and breaching the storage environment, too.

In return for this bulky footprint, you’ll get the capacity to store up to 46 bottles of wine.

This manufacturer appreciates the needs of wine collectors with different bottles to store. This is a dual-zone cooler, making it the perfect appliance if you want to chill red and white wines at the different temperatures they need. Temperature bands are wide.

3. 3rd ranked: Kalamera 12” Wine Cooler 18 Bottle Built-in or Freestanding

Features

• 18 bottles
• Single-zone
• 12-inch

Next up comes another cooler from the inimitable Kalamera. You’ll get the same build quality and attention to detail as with all their products, and you’ll get the same competitive pricing, too.

This is a smaller cooler ideal for up to 18 bottles of your favorite wine. As with all wine refrigerators, this capacity should be considered an absolute maximum rather than comfortable working level. There’s some confusion with the listing for this product. It states that this is a 31-bottle fridge, but there’s only space for 18 bottles.

The slim body measures just 12 inches across, so if you can take a hit on capacity, you’ll get a space-saving wine cooler tailor-made for confined spaces.

When it comes to installation, this unit works as a freestanding or built-in cooler. With a reversible door further widening your options for placement, this is one of the most flexible solutions to wine storage.

6 beech shelves are designed not to scuff up the labels on your wine while offering sufficient support for the bottles. You can slide up to 3 bottles of Bordeaux on each shelf.

Tweak the temperature from 40F to 66F using the smart controls. Rest secure knowing that temperature memory will reset the temperature to its operating level in the event of a power outage.

Blue LEDs inside let you scope out your collection without opening the door and exposing the wine to oxygen. You’ll also protect your wine from the harsher fluorescent lights found in some cheap wine coolers.

For a small but effective built-in wine refrigerator that runs quietly and without anything much by the way of vibration, Kalamera hits another home run.

• 15-inch

This rock-solid Phiestina wine cooler might not be cheap but you’ll get outstanding overall value. Even better, if you act quickly, you’ll capitalize on a decent discount. What do you get for your money, then?

Choose first whether to build this cooler into a kitchen cabinet or leave it freestanding. If you choose to build this unit in, there’s a vent at the front meaning it won’t overheat and you won’t need to take special precautions either. This kick plate is designed to neatly align with the kick plates of your kitchen cabinets for a seamless look.

The reversible door allows you to install the cooler so it best fits the layout of your kitchen.

Compressor-based cooling returns excellent energy-efficiency with the very minimum of noise and vibration. The same cannot be said for thermoelectric wine coolers.

A few disgruntled consumers complain about temperature maintenance degrading over time. Our assessment is that this tends to afflict many wine coolers at the lower end of the market. Unless you’re digging deep, these things don’t tend to stay accurate indefinitely. That said, we found overall user feedback concerning this wine cooler was largely positive.

Antarctic Star makes some highly effective wine coolers. These fridges are not cheap, but we feel you’ll get great value for money if you have a small to medium-sized collection of mixed wine you’d like stored for short-term consumption or over the long haul.

The twin-zone cooler lets you keep either type of wine at the optimum temperature so it’s ready to serve on demand. If you store mixed wine in a single-zone cooler, you’ll need to compromise on the temperature with one of them.

9. NewAir AWR-290DB Wine Cooler, 29 Bottle, Stainless Steel

• Dual-zone
• 15-inch

NewAir manufactures a line of hard-hitting wine coolers ideal for commercial or residential purposes. This striking fridge would look great in the man cave, home kitchen, or den. How does it shape up, then?

The compressor-based cooling here means there’s precious little noise or vibration.

You’ll also enjoy excellent energy-efficiency with this model so you can save on your power bills, too.

Adjustable wooden shelving is designed to house up to 29 bottles of vino without causing any damage to the labels.

10. EdgeStar 53 Bottle Built-In Wine Cooler

Features

• 53 bottles
• Single-zone
• 24-inch

EdgeStar serves up another excellent built-in wine cooler, so how does this stand out in a crowded field?

Firstly, you’ll get a very generous capacity without needing to much interior real estate. The squat and compact design belies the interior which has space for up to 53 bottles of your favorite reds and whites.

You place your bottles on the 6 sliding shelves which are removable for your convenience. Wooden and trimmed with wire, the labels on your bottles are safe from being scratched up, and there’s ample support for bottles.

You only get a single cooling zone in this fridge. The temperature band is wide, allowing you to adjust the cooling from 40F to 65F. If you want to store wine long-term, this won’t be an issue. It won’t cause a problem either if you drink only reds or whites. For anyone looking to consume both types of wine on a regular basis, though, it makes sense to avoid this model and to seek out a dual-zone cooler. Most of the fridges we review today are dual-zone, so you have plenty of choice.

The compressor-based cooling system is efficient, energy-efficient, and doesn’t kick out too much noise or vibration either.

Blue LEDs inside illuminate your wine collection without creating too much light or exposing them to any exterior light.

As with all compressor-based cooling systems, noise and vibration are minimized, so you won’t end up with the sediment in your wine bottle disturbed.

While most users seem satisfied with the wine cooler, we found a number of complaints about customer care being less than helpful.

11. BODEGA 15 Inch Wine Cooler, Upgrade Wine Refrigerator

Features

• 31 bottles
• Single-zone
• 15-inch

Bodega boasts a supremely quiet wine cooler ideal for anyone reluctant to invest in one of these units for fear of any annoying background noise. You’ll get none of that and almost no vibration here either, getting things off to a strong start.

This is a single-zone cooler, so it makes a neat fit if you drink red or white wine exclusively. The other use case for this type of cooler is for long-term storage. You can easily lay up mixed bottles of wine for the long haul then bring them up to temperature when they’re ready to drink. For anyone looking to drink red and white wine on the regular, though, it’s worth exploring dual-zone coolers. These will provide a much more seamless experience.

6 wooden shelves house up to 31 bottles of wine. A special oversized shelf is dedicated to larger bottles so you can accommodate a diverse smaller collection of wine without damaging any of the bottles and without needing to rearrange any of the shelving either.

This unit is designed to work either freestanding or as a built-in unit.

Measuring just 15 inches across in spite of such generous capacity, this cooler is a great investment for apartment dwellers or anyone faced with limited space in the kitchen, but the need for reliable wine storage.

Although the majority of user reviews are positive, we found a common theme centered on the spacing of the shelving. There are a number of complaints about the racks being too close together and making too snug a fit for the bottles inside.

12. NewAir Wine Cooler with 46 Bottle Capacity Built-In Compressor Mini Bar Fridge

Features

• 46 bottles
• Dual-zone
• 24-inch

NewAir has a deep bench of reliable, efficient, and cost-effective wine coolers, many offering built-in installation. This 24-inch model continues that winning tradition.

The kickplate is recessed and the stainless steel if accented with black panels. Inside, there’s a muted blue LED light. This not only looks great, but also provides your wine bottles with the subdued lighting they need rather than harsh fluorescent strip lighting.

It’s not just this type of light that wine doesn’t like, though. UV rays can damage the tannins and flavor of wine, so the triple-tempered glass on the doors will stop that from making its way through.

Measuring 24 inches across, you can build this cooler into your kitchen cabinets or leave it freestanding. The front venting ensures there’s no overheating if you choose the built-in option.

With dual zones, you can store both red and white wine at its best. Both zones have a very wide temperature band from 40F to 66F. Manipulating the temperature is straightforward using the digital controls.

The compressor-based cooling system helps to mitigate much of the noise and vibration that blight inexpensive and inefficient wine coolers. The radiant cooling also means you’ll get a consistent cooling environment throughout.

If you have a mixed collection of wine you’d like to store for short-term consumption, this is one of the best built-in wine coolers for the purpose.

14. EdgeStar 30 Bottle Built-In Wine Cooler

Features

• 30 bottles
• Dual-zone
• 15-inch

Since it’s reversible, you’ll get even more latitude when it comes to placement. This is further enhanced as you can choose to build this cooler into your kitchen cabinets or to leave it freestanding. Integrated venting removes the risk of overheating, even if you install this built-in wine cooler under your kitchen counter.

While this is a compressor-based cooling system, it’s certainly not among the quietest fridges out there. If you’re planning to position this somewhere near the living room, you may want to explore some of the quieter coolers on our shortlist.

This is a single-zone unit, but if you need the flexibility of a dual-zone cooler, you can find an alternative version with twin zones.

15. Lanbo 44 Bottle Built-in Dual Zone Compressor Wine Cooler

Features

• 44 bottles
• Dual-zone
• 24-inch

As we edge to the end of our curated collection of the best built-in wine coolers across all budgets, here’s a commanding but pocket-friendly model from Lanbo that’s well worth popping on your shortlist.

This is a small and squat unit measuring 24 inches across that works well in smaller spaces. The option of building this cooler into your kitchen cabinets or installing it under the counter is another way to make the most of the space at your disposal. If you prefer, you could leave the cooler freestanding.

The compressor-based cooling system is one of the quieter models on our list today. This makes a wise bet if your wine fridge is close to a living area or bedroom.

The dual-zone cooler is perfect for anyone with a collection of red and white wine. Chill whites aggressively in the upper zone from 41F to 54F. Red wines, as you probably know, should be stored at warmer temperatures, so pop them in the lower zone of this cooler. Here, you can adjust the temperature between 54F and 64F.

You’ll be safeguarded if you unexpectedly lose power in an outage. The temperature memory function ensures the cooler will power back on to its previous temperature settings.

The classic tempered glass door keeps those UV rays out while still permitting you to scope out your collection.

Most of the customer feedback concerning this model is positive. We found a few isolated complaints about delivery issues, though.

Features

• 36 bottles
• Dual-zone
• 24-inch

Last but by no means least in our hunt for the best built-in wine coolers comes a great model from the ever-reliable EdgeStar.

If you’re looking for a cheap wine cooler, this is not for you. Also – and despite that stiff price tag – this is not a great fit either if you’re shopping based primarily for durability. A number of customers have complained that the lifespan of this fridge was disappointing.

How about the good, though?

Well, there’s plenty of it with this cooler. The stainless steel finish is sleek and looks great in any minimalist kitchen. This expanse of silver is offset by the black interior and the black tempered glass door.

They slide out to make your life easier. 2 further shelves are partial-depth. These also slide out and come trimmed with stainless steel. The wooden shelves mean there’s no scratching and scuffing of the labels on your bottles either.

There are twin zones on this cooler, each with a temperature range of 40F to 65F. This is perfect if you want to keep both red and white wines at the optimum drinking temperature.

LED lighting softly showcases your collection without exposing the wine to harsh fluorescent lights. The tinted glass keeps those UV rays out, too.
