It is not only the bouquet and taste of wine that is adversely affected when it is not stored at the proper temperature. The polyphenols and resveratrol that can potentially provide health benefits are also destroyed. Thus, whether you enjoy wine for its aroma and taste, or you want to be like the French who eat a diet rich in saturated fats washed down with red wine, you will need a refrigerator like the NewAir Thermoelectric Wine Cooler AW-280E.
Featuring six chrome-plated racks with furrows for keeping wine bottles from rolling, the AW-280E has enough space for 28 bottles. The furrows are important because they prevent the unsettling of the wine sediments that could result in a disruption of the wine’s aging process.
Precise temperature levels are achieved with a thermoelectric cooling system. As this system uses only a minimum of moving parts, cooling is quiet and free from vibration. Temperature can be adjusted by an intuitive set of digital temperature controls mounted at the top door frame. This consists of an LED display indicating the temperature inside the cooler, two arrows (one pointing up and the other down) for adjusting temperature level, and another button for changing the display from Celsius to Fahrenheit, or vice versa.
With the exception of the chrome-plated door handle and racks and the glass door, the AW-280E is colored black, including its interior. This makes it compatible with any kitchen or dining room décor or motif. An interior LED blue light that does not warm the air provides soft lighting to the wine bottles allowing you to read their labels without pulling them out.
This freestanding wine cooler is approximately 29 inches tall, 17 wide, and 20 deep. It will not occupy too much space and thus can be easily installed in the kitchen, dining room, or private den.
