Built-in Wine Cooler

What is a built-in wine cooler?

Where an integrated wine cooler is inserted into an existing kitchen unit, a built-in wine cooler is typically 60 cm wide and therefore completely replaces the kitchen unit.

If you want a built-in wine cooler, it is important that you choose a wine cooler that is suitable for built-in use. In most cases, built-in wine coolers have ventilation through a grate at the front of the base. There is therefore no need for special ventilation at the rear or sides. All built-in models can also be free-standing in a room.

Fully built-in wine coolers

If you want to install your kitchen unit’s own door as a front on an integrated wine cooler to fit even better into the kitchen, then you should choose a fully built-in wine cooler. A fully integrated wine cooler allows you to create a more complete solution, where the wine cooler itself is either not visible or has a frame on the door that matches the rest of the kitchen design. For example, you can find fully built-in wine coolers in Pevino Majestic.

Choose a built-in wine cooler that suits you

For many wine enthusiasts, a wine cooler is an essential piece of equipment, whether it’s a long-term storage cabinet or a cupboard for serving wine. That’s why it’s important to buy the right cupboard. We recommend that you consider a few things before making your purchase. For example, you can think about:

• Size and capacity
• Number of cooling zones
• Sound power level
• Design

Of course, the optimal size of your wine cooler depends on how much space you have available and how many bottles you need to store. If the wine cooler is for long-term storage, it often needs a little more space than in a serving cabinet, where there is a greater exchange of bottles.

Do you need one or two cooling zones? If you like to have more than one type of wine ready to serve at all times, look for a built-in wine cooler with two cooling zones. This allows you to have both cool white wine and perfectly tempered red wine ready in case unexpected guests arrive.

What we perceive as a comfortable sound level is different. At Wineandbarrels, we categorise all wine coolers with a noise level below 40 dB as low-noise – but depending on the wine cooler’s location and your sensitivity to sound, you may prefer a quieter model – or perhaps allow the cabinet’s location to make a little more noise.

Finally, of course, you should consider which design appeals to you the most. This may apply especially if your built-in wine cooler is to be placed in a visible place in the kitchen, where it must fit cupboard doors and white goods.
