Best wine coolers & fridges

If you’re looking for a wine cooler that can help plenty of vino whilst only having a small footprint then this is a great option. Despite measuring only 25cm in width it can hold an impressive 18 standard wine bottles.

A wine fridge does need adequate ventilation and shouldn’t be installed under a countertop unless it’s designed for this use. Built-in wine fridges generally have front-facing ventilation but if they don’t have this feature then make sure it has adequate space for airflow around it.
