Getting the best out of wine requires that it is stored and served at the proper temperature. It is for this reason that if you have just developed a taste for fine wine or if you are building your own collection, purchasing a wine cooler is advisable. A good specimen of the various wine coolers available is the Danby DWC350BLP Wine Cooler.
This Danby wine cooler has a capacity of 35 bottles stored in six shelves. Of these, five are slide-out types making the retrieval of wine bottles easy, while the sixth, located at the lower portion, is staggered. Because the interior of the cabinet is colored black, an interior light is provided to help you read the wine labels without pulling the bottles out. Also, it illuminates and showcases your collection through the glass door.
The glass door is tempered and shatter-resistant. Not only does it allow display of your wines, but it also insulates the cooler, preventing the passage of heat inside. It is enclosed by a platinum-trimmed door frame which contrasts with the black body of the cooler. A recessed handle opens the door, which can be set to open either on the left or right side of the cabinet.
The cooling mechanism consists of a compressor with an automatic defrost system. An adjustable thermostat allows you to set the desired temperature level as different types of wine need to be stored at different temperatures. You can set it to a minimum of 42.8°F for your Champagne, Cava, or Asti; and to a maximum of 57.2°F for your Pinot Noir, Chianti, or Beaujolais.
The Danby DWC350BLP Wine Cooler is a freestanding type that measures approximately 33 inches high, 17.5 inches wide, and 20 inches deep. Given its black color, it will complement your other appliances in the kitchen.
