Under Counter Wine Coolers

Why Buy an Under Counter Wine Fridge?

The main benefit of choosing a below-countertop model vs other types is that it saves you space in the kitchen.

Models, like freestanding coolers, can take up a large floor space or stretch to the ceiling, while under-counter models can be built into the kitchen cabinetry or place under a worktop.

 

High Performance In Tight Spaces

Our perfectly sized coolers are equipped with various advanced technological features, designed to keep your precious wine bottles protected for maturation and enjoyment regardless of their footprint in your kitchen.

 

1. Precise Temperature Control

These coolers are available with one or two temperature zones controlled with discreet, LED digital displays, so the climate inside the compartment can be set precisely - ensuring your wines are stored at the ideal temperature.

• Single temperature zone models work to keep your wine at a stable, precise temperature between 5°C - 20°C. The single zone Dunavox DAUF-9.22B wine fridge is a slender profile, reasonably priced model that can neatly store an upright, open bottle of Bordeaux - so there is no risk of spilling a drop.
• Dual zone coolers use fan-assisted cooling systems to chill two types of wines at their ideal serving or storage temperatures, so you can store your favourite Burgundy and Pinot Grigios. A wine fridge with two-zone capability and 40cm width is the Dunavox DAUF-32.78DB wine cooler (RRP £1,379) - perfect for when you're hosting guests!

 

2. Ample Size & Storage For The Wine Connoisseur

 

Bottle Capacity

Our under worktop models range from 7 Bordeaux bottle capacity up to 50 Bordeaux bottle capacity (750ml bottles) - like the premium, built-in design, 50cm wide Dunavox DAUF-38.100DB in black. This product, featuring pine wood sliding shelves, strikes the perfect balance of space-efficient width, storage capacity and thoughtful design.

Larger bottles, like Champagne, can be accommodated in coolers with 400mm or 600mm width.

 

Specific Dimensions

These built-in under counter fridges are available from 150mm to 600mm in width. The depth of these models is generally 525mm to 595mm, and the height is 820mm to 880mm allowing them to fit snugly under standard counters in a kitchen, bar or living space.

 

A below-the-counter wine fridge elevates the aesthetic of your kitchen space, utilising spaces that might otherwise be left unused for wine preservation.

 

3. Ideal Wine Ageing Conditions

Our wine coolers from brands such as Dunavox, Swisscave, La Sommeliere and Avintage provide your wines with protection from UV and vibration - two factors that can damage your wines over the long term.

These units feature UV-shielding glass doors along with minimal vibration compressors.

 

Additional Features

Prices of these wine storage units range from budget-friendly £500 units up to £2,000 higher-end models will feature a more comprehensive range of add-ons like the Swisscave WLB160DF. Check the specific product you're interested in for the features it includes:

• Sliding Wooden Shelves: Installed to allow for easy access to your wines. Many under the counter models feature 5-8 elegant shelves.
• Lockable Doors: Secure lockable doors so you can keep your collection safe from unwanted attention.
• Precise Temperature Control: With clear LED lit, touch screen, digital displays so you can set the temperature exactly to the level needed.
• Humidity Control: Managed by the internal system and kept constant between 55-85% ensuring corks don't dry out and mould is not an issue within the unit.
• Energy Efficient: Rated F or G, underbench models consume fewer kWh compared to larger units. Depending on the size these models consume between 100kWh and 140kWh
• LED Lighting modes: There are options for white overhead and side lighting in most models, plus the function to switch the lights off. Premium models are available with blue, white and orange lighting.
• Quiet Sound Output: Some models are whisper-silent at 37 dB, others are less quiet at 40 dB. Installed in cabinetry, noise from the vibration-free, compressor will be dampened by carpentry.
• Fully integrated: Integrated wine fridges that can have a cabinet door fitted over the glass door if required, purchase a handleless, push to open door model here.

 

Remember, your wine collection deserves the best conditions to thrive and a wine cooler is the key to capturing the full potential of each bottle.
