100 Bottle Wine Fridges – Buying Guide

Do 100 Bottle Wine Cabinets cost a lot to run?

Wine fridges in general do cost more to run than standard electrical appliances as they are battling the ambient temperature to allow your wines to be served or stored at a set temperature. A 100 bottle wine fridge would be considered mid range and depending on whether the unit was a brand new model and using the latest technology and whether it was a dual or single zone, would use anything from 100-200 kWh per year. In terms of monetary costs, that's anything between £50-£100 a year to run.

Do 100 Bottle Wine Cabinets go in the garage?

Most freestanding 100 bottle wine fridges would safely live in the garage due to the nature of the size of wine fridge and its likely use of wine storage, however, this isn't guaranteed.

If the wine fridge states that it has a "winter system" and its climate classification is wide ranging (and within the limits of the heat/cold temperatures of your garage) then the wine fridge should be capable of maturing your wine in your garage. 

Garages are home to some peculiar odours, so we would also recommend ensuring the unit has a carbon filter if it is to stay in the garage.

What's a good price for a 100 bottle wine cabinet?

On the premium, high quality end, wine 100 bottle wine fridges start from around £800 but can increase in price all the way to £6000+ plus if you buy the world's very best brands. 

Our advice is to filter down to the core technology you want from your 100 bottle wine cabinet. If you're a collector looking for an efficient, quiet, lockable wine fridge with a carbon filter then prices would start from around £1500.

Do 100 Bottle Wine Fridges have two temperature zones?

Some 100 bottle wine fridges are dual zone and some are single zone, some are even triple zone or polyvalent multi-zones so there is a lot of choice within this size of wine fridge.

100 bottle dual zone wine fridges tend to have their two storage capacities split roughly in half, half for cellaring Champagne and white wine and the rest for red wine maturation. There are many single zone wine cabinets on the market for this bottle capacity with the sole aim of long term wine maturation.

Are 100 Bottle Wine Fridges Noisy?

The noisiness of a wine fridge isn't really down to its size alone. The noisiness of a wine fridge is down to the quality of its build and parts and how often the fans and compressor are running. The fans and compressor are active most when the wine fridge has to work against the ambient temperature to ensure the bottles are at the set temperature. You can keep your noise fridge quieter by placing in a position that doesn't fluctuate between hot and cold often.

What security features are there for 100 Bottle Wine Fridges?

100 bottle wine fridges are moving into the territory of the serious collector and as such tend to come with lockable doors and audible alarms.
