Wine-making is a long and complicated process beginning right from the selecting and picking of grapes, through crushing and fermentation, blending and fining, up to bottling. All of these processes, however, would have been wasted if the bottled wine is not stored and served at its recommended storage and serving temperature. For this, you need a good wine cooler like the Avanti WC1500DSS Wine Cooler.
The Avanti WC1500DSS is a wine cooler with measurements of 15″ W x 25″ D x 33.75″ H that can be installed as a freestanding unit or built into your kitchen or bar counter. It features five large shelves and one bottom small shelf that can accommodate as many as 30 bottles. These shelves are made of scalloped wires that keep the bottles from rolling and agitating the wine sediments. The fronts feature wood trims. For convenient access, the shelves can be pulled out.
The bottles are chilled by a compressor-based cooling system that can bring temperatures down to 40°F for your sweet and sparkling wines, or up to 65°F for your full-bodied red wines. Temperatures are adjusted with intuitive control buttons and an LED temperature display mounted above the door frame. If you are unsure of the recommended temperature for your wine, you can use the single-touch controls labeled “RED”, “WHITE”, or “SPARKL”. These will automatically choose the correct temperature.
To maintain an even cooling inside the refrigerator, an interior fan circulates cool air while removing hot air. And to keep your wine collection secure, a lock and key mechanism is included at the bottom door frame. Even when locked, you can still showcase your bottles through the glass door with an interior lamp providing illumination.
The cabinet has a sleek black finish with a stainless steel door frame. The frame encloses a dual pane tempered glass door panel that also helps keep the refrigerator cool by insulating it from hot air. A stainless steel handle completes the reversible door.
