Energy Efficient Wine Coolers

Why Buy an Energy-Efficient Wine Fridge?

Are you a wine connoisseur looking to keep your electricity bills down while taking excellent care of your wine collection?

We've curated a collection of our best, energy-saving wine fridges from brands such as Swisscave and Dunavox to help lower your energy costs.

1. Sustainable, Eco-Conscious Wine Storage

Our cost-effective wine storage devices are energy-efficient with climate ratings of F or G.

• Energy-smart, smaller devices like the reasonably priced, freestanding, La Sommeliere LS36BLACK can consume between 100kWh and 130kWh per year.
• Medium and larger professional models consume between 150kWh and 250kWh per year, reducing your energy requirements compared to your current appliance solution.

As we all become more environmentally conscious, align your home with eco-friendly, sustainable wine storage.

Reduce your energy consumption and lower your daily energy bills, all while storing your wine collection in ideal conditions.

2. How Much Electricity Does a Wine Fridge Use?

To help you understand the cost implications of purchasing a more efficient cooling appliance versus one that is less eco-friendly, take a look at our top-level cost calculations below:

A. Efficient Wine Cooling Device:

• Appliance power consumption: 100 kWh per year
• Cost per kWh: £0.34 (UK average in 2024)
• Annual cost: 100 kWh x £0.34 = £34 per year

B. Less Efficient Wine Cooling Device:

• Appliance power consumption: 200 kWh per year
• Cost per kWh: £0.34
• Annual cost: 200 kWh x £0.34 = £68 per year

C. Total Cost Savings Analysis:

By choosing a more efficient, climate-friendly cooler, you could save:

• Annual savings: £68 - £34 = £34
• Over a typical lifespan of 10 years, the savings would be: £34 x 10 = £340

3. What To Look For To Reduce Wine Storage Energy Costs

Along with looking at the energy rating of the device, here are a few features to look for in a power-saving model:

• LED Lighting:  LED lighting, as seen in the illuminating, built-in, Swisscave WLB460DF, consumes less power than traditional, power-hungry lighting components.
• Compressor-Based Cooling: Cutting-edge compressor technology with insulation creates a greener cooling system compared to older, less developed parts.
• Smart Sensors and Controls:  Compared to basic thermostats, smart components respond more quickly and efficiently to changes such as temperature fluctuations.

Understanding Home Appliance Energy Ratings

In the new system, an A+++ will likely be a C or perhaps a B. Any appliance rated A under the new system will be far more energy efficient than those now rated A+++.

• A wine fridge's energy label indicates its energy efficiency.
• The most energy-efficient wine refrigerators we stock have an F rating, with most coolers rated G.
• Quick Tip: There isn't an exact pairing for each energy label in the old and new scales, but wine fridges rated F in the new system were rated approximately A or A+ under the old system.

If you want to be more eco-friendly and save money on your utility costs, search for highly-rated appliances when you purchase.
