Freestanding Wine Coolers

Why Invest in a Freestanding Wine Fridge?

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

1. Optimal Temperature

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

• Single-zone: store one style of wine at a consistent temperature, like white wines chilled at 5-9°C.
• Dual-zone: store white wines like Chardonnay at 7-10°C and red wines like Burgundy at 13-19°C in the same device.
• Multi-zone: polyvalent technology cools several types of wine (red, white, rose) with optimal climate conditions, offering 6 different temperatures simultaneously.
• Humidity: managed between 55-85% ensuring corks don't dry and mold is no issue.

We recommend the Swisscave WL455DF RRP £2,369, if you're looking for a tall wine fridge for your wines. 

2. A Visual Statement

Stand alone wine coolers enhance entertaining or commercial spaces, showcasing your collection in its finest light, creating a warm ambience.

• LED lighting: upright models feature illuminating white lights, while premium models feature white, warm white, or blue lighting - changed with a button press.
• Display shelves: the 200-bottle, Swisscave WLB460DFLD, features 7 elegant display shelves positioned at tilted angles - ideal to highlight labels.

3. Effective Organisation

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

• Smaller device: for home use, space-saving designs with 45-60cm widths and up to 82cm height, offer bottle capacities from 30-50. 
• Medium-sized: models 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.

Freestanding Vs Built In

Although packed with utility, a freestanding wine cooler doesn't offer a flush finish like built-in designs.

Built-in models draw air into a front grill ventilation system, keeping the device cool when boxed in. In contrast, free-standing wine coolers dissipate heat from all surfaces.

Tip: standalone wine fridges don't have reversible doors; the hinge is fitted on the right as standard. Built-in models come with a reversible door hinge.

Simple Installation

Once positioned, let the compressor gas settle for 12-24 hours. Then switch the power ON to begin your first-class wine storage experience.

• Ventilation: don't fit a free standing wine refrigerator under a worktop as heat gets trapped, causing damage.
• Install standalone units where ventilation is available like a garage, utility room or living space.
• Note: leave 5-10cm around the sides and rear of the unit, along with 30-50cm gap above the product.

Transform a space in your home or business into effective wine storage with quick installation.

Other Features

Find extras like multiple lighting modes and display shelves in our premium models. Other features to look for:

• UV protection: protect wines from harmful UV, with double-glazed, UV glass or solid doors to prevent light damage.
• Sliding shelves: fitted with telescopic shelves so bottles can be easily accessed even with a sizeable collection.
• Door lock: Vin Garde wine coolers, feature secure doors keeping your collection safe from unwanted attention.
• Digital control: set the temperature to your exact requirements.
• Vibrationless: models are installed with dampened, vibration-free compressors.
