Facts about Stainless Steel Wine Fridges
Stainless steel wine coolers come in a variety of bottle capacities from slimline, narrow wine coolers storing just 8 bottles to large, multi-zone wine cabinets storing over 300 bottles that can offer space for wine service and wine maturation too.
Most silver wine fridges are destined for the kitchen rather than long term wine maturation and so are fitted with telescopic shelving that pulls out effortlessly for being quickly able to find that perfect bottle. Many, as aesthetics is key in the kitchen, come with display shelves and modern, multi-coloured LED lighting to really offer a feature focal point in the kitchen.
Depending on the size of the unit, it’s also likely your stainless steel wine cooler will come with more than one temperature zone with many silver units offer dual zone storage so both red and white wine can be accessed at the ideal serving temperature.
Other typical features of a stainless steel wine cooler would include a lock, LED lighting, carbon filters and temperature alarms in case the set temperatures should dip or rise above the median.
Premium brands like Liebherr and Dunavox as well as mQuvee are great choices if you’re looking for a luxury stainless steel wine cabinet.
Depending on where in your home you’d like to place your silver wine cooler you may find you need to choose a unit that vents from the front if it is to be placed in your kitchen amongst your cabinets, these units are called built-in or under-counter wine coolers. If the unit will not be built in to your kitchen and would stand alone like a tall American style fridge than a freestanding wine fridge option will work well for you. If you want the wine cooler to blend seamlessly into your kitchen and be raised off the floor then an integrated wine cooler will work best.
Built In Stainless Steel Wine Fridges
Silver wine fridges are most often sought to be built-in to designer kitchens. Sometimes standing on the floor (under-counter) and sometimes raised off the ground (integrated). These wine fridges are just as good at protecting your fine wine and offering stable storage temperatures regardless of installation.
Silver wine coolers are available in all height, depth and width sizes including 150mm, 300mm, 400mm, 500mm, and 600mm with the most common width gaps being 15cm, 30cm and 60cm.
Built-in wine coolers can be installed flush to your kitchen cabinets but you should leave a 1.5cm gap to allow for the door to be fully opened. Look out for the decibel rating of the chosen wine fridge, if you spend lots of time in your kitchen we recommend a decibel rating of no more than 40dB.
