    Freestanding Wine Fridges & Coolers

    A freestanding wine fridge is designed for stand-alone installation, with ventilation around all sides. Browse our freestanding wine coolers for stylish, convenient wine storage. Available from leading brands in various sizes, styles, and with a range of functions.

    Freestanding Wine Fridges & Coolers

    A freestanding wine fridge stores wine for the short and long term. All freestanding wine fridges protect your wine from premature aging, which can be caused by UV light, heat, aromas, vibration, and humidity when stored in inappropriate conditions. We offer freestanding wine coolers from a range of leading brands like, CELLA, Dunavox, Swisscave, and Vin Garde wine coolers.

    Choose a freestanding wine fridge in black or stainless steel doors, and storage capacities from 12 to 300+ Bordeaux bottles for your home or business.

    Freestanding wine coolers are made for positions with full ventilation, with 20-30mm of space left free on the sides and 300mm at the top of the unit to allow for heat to escape.

    In comparison to built-in wine fridges and integrated wine coolers, freestanding wine refrigerators are not designed for installation into a modern kitchen space and are better positioned in rooms like dining rooms, living spaces, or utility rooms.

     

    Freestanding Wine Fridge Temperature Zones

    Available with single or dual temperature zones to cater to any wine selection for service or long-term ageing.

    Freestanding wine fridges offer digitally programmed temperature zones, usually ranging from 5-18°C, in one or two independently controlled temperature compartments. Models available as dual zone wine coolers also often include features like humidity control and carbon filters, too. 

     

    Single Zone Temperature

    Store one style of wine in a freestanding wine cooler at a consistent temperature, like white wines chilled at 5-9°C.

    Dual Zone Temperature

    Store white wines like Chardonnay at 7-10°C and red wines like Burgundy at 13-19°C in the same device. Freestanding wine fridges with dual temperature zones are perfect for serving and storing wines.

    Multi Zone Temperature

    Freestanding wine chillers with polyvalent technology cools several types of wine (red, white, rose) with optimal climate conditions, offering 6 different temperatures simultaneously.

    Humidity Control

    A freestanding wine cooler with active humidity control manages humidity between 55-85%, ensuring corks don't dry and mold is not an issue. Explore our full range of humidity controlled wine coolers.

     

    Freestanding Wine Fridge Bottle Capacity

    Floor-standing wine coolers are available in sizes catering to the space available and the number of bottles in the collection. 

    Freestanding wine fridges are perfect for wine enthusiasts with large, valuable wine collections who would prefer to store their collections safely in a purpose-built unit rather than in the kitchen fridge or a smaller under counter wine fridge.

     

    • Smaller device: for home use, space-saving freestanding wine fridges with 45-60cm widths and up to 82cm height, offer bottle capacities from 30-50. 
    • Medium-sized: freestanding wine fridges like the Swisscave WLB360DF have 90-120 bottle capacities and can store larger bottles like Champagne.
    • Larger models: offer 120-300 capacities, ideal for fine wine collections stored at home rather than in bond - shop for a large capacity wine fridge.

    Find extras like multiple lighting modes and display shelves in our premium freestanding wine cooler models. Other features to look for in a freestanding wine fridge include:

    Freestanding Wine Fridge FAQ's

    Can I Use a Freestanding Wine Cooler Under a Counter?

    +

    -

    No. As previously mentioned, freestanding wine coolers are engineered to dissipate heat from the back of the unit, so if they were to be enclosed under countertops or in close proximity to a wall, they run the risk of overheating and essentially, breaking. Also, if you were to install a freestanding cooler under your counter, you would invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty which puts you at risk of substantial repair fees.

    Can I Put a Freestanding Wine Fridge in a Garage or Cold Room?

    +

    -

    Yes, providing the model you purchase has winter function or a heating element fitted. This will allow the unit to maintain the desired wine storage temperature internally even if the ambient temperature drops down to 0 degrees. Please ask us or read the product specification to see if the product has winter function.

    What's The Difference Between a Freestanding Wine Cooler and Built-In?

    +

    -

    Built-in wine coolers are designed to be installed within cabinets or under counters whilst freestanding wine coolers are designed to stand independently. Built in models pull in cool air from a vent at the front of the unit while freestanding wine coolers dissipate from the external body via conduction. This means that when placing your freestanding wine cooler it has sufficient ventilation.

    Can I Reverse the Door on a Freestanding Wine Fridge?

    +

    -

    Some larger freestanding wine fridges have reversible doors, but most smaller models do not have reversible doors. Use the filters to select ‘reversible door’ and models that have reversible doors will be shown.

    How Many Bottles Can a Freestanding Wine Fridge Hold?

    +

    -

    Freestanding wine fridges aren’t limited to cabinet space, so bottle capacity can vary. We have a 20 bottle up to 300+ bottle wine fridges for sale.

    Most wine fridges are designed to store standard Bordeaux bottles; if you plan on storing larger bottles like Champagne, the bottle capacity will decrease.

    How to Install a Freestanding Wine Cooler?

    +

    -

    It's important to remember that a freestanding wine cooler needs to vent hot air. Freestanding wine fridges need 10-15cm of space around the back and sides and at least 30cm above. The top of the freestanding unit should never be obstructed, and objects shouldn't be placed on top. If you buy a freestanding model and build it into cabinets, the unit will eventually overheat and break; this will also void the manufacturer warranty.
