At a quick first glance at the Tresanti DC10930107-1823 Meridian Wine Cooler and Curio, it is not the wine cooler that catches your attention. It is the premium oak cabinet that houses the refrigerator and incorporates a storage area for your stemware. It also has a drawer and a pull-out serving counter that is topped with a slab of shiny polished granite.

The cabinet itself has a simple design having mostly straight lines and right angles, with a minimum of embellishments. Easily, it can be classed as an American Craftsman design especially with its oak finish. The wine cooler is enclosed in the bottom section with the stemware storage above it. These two are separated from each other by the drawer and serving counter. The storage area has rods for hanging glasses by their stems as well as two shelves for your other wine accessories. One of the shelves is a made of glass while the other is of wood. At the back is a full mirror.

A dual zone type, the wine cooler can keep both your red and white wines at their appropriate drinking temperatures at the same time. The upper zone has a temperature range between 45° to 54°F and has a capacity of six bottles. This is where you can keep your Champagne, Sauvingnon blanc, or Madeiras. The lower zone has a bigger capacity, which is 12 bottles, with a temperature range of 54° to 65°F. Your Beaujolais, Burgundy, or Cabernet Sauvignon should be stored there.

The wines are stored on metal racks, two at the upper zone and four at the lower. They are not, however, removable.

The Tresanti DC10930107-1823 Meridian Wine Cooler and Curio relies on a thermoelectric cooling system. This means that it does not have ozone layer-harmful chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). It also means that it runs quietly without vibrations.

Overall dimensions of the wine cooler and curio are 23″ W x 24″ D x 70″ H.

Belonging to the Portofino Series, the Vinotemp Kendall Dual Zone Wine Bar features a cabinet with hardwood exterior in black finish, and with decorative glass panels framed in wood also finished with the same black.

Belonging to the Portofino Series, the Vinotemp Kendall Dual Zone Wine Bar features a cabinet with hardwood exterior in black finish, and with decorative glass panels framed in wood also finished with the same black. These, complemented with its simple no-frills lines, result in an elegant and graceful design.

The Kendall, apart from cooling your wines, has two racks for your stemware. These are set right in the middle of the wine bar in between the two cooling zones. Right above it is a drawer where wine accessories, such as a wine bottle opener, aerator, stoppers, and pourers can be stored. Thus, you have everything you need to enjoy your wine in the Kendall.

The two cooling zones that are separated by the wine glass racks have each a capacity of 21 wine bottles. These are cradled in scalloped wine racks to prevent them from rolling over and disturbing the wine sediments and adversely affecting its aroma and taste. These are finished in chrome to protect them from rust and to give them a nice shiny look. They can also be removed for ease of cleaning.

Utilizing a hybrid cooling system that has both a solid state thermoelectric cooler and a compressor-based mechanism, the Kendall guarantees that your wines are continually kept at their recommended storage temperatures. At the same time, it also keeps cooling costs down.

Temperature levels in the two cooling cabinets can be set independently of each other. Thus, you can store your Champagne or Chablis in one of the cabinets at lower temperatures while keeping your Bordeaux or Rhone wines in the other at higher levels. Temperature in both cooling zones starts at 50° up to a maximum of 65°F.

The Vinotemp Kendall Dual Zone Wine Bar has dimensions of 45″ W x 20″ D x 36″ H.

Credenzas became popular in the mid-19th Century as a sideboard in the dining rooms of important personages who needed food tasters to assure them that their food was not poisoned. Food for tasting and testing were left on the credenza before they were served on the dining table. Credenzas are still used as sideboards, but they are now used more for displaying food and storing utensils. The Vinotemp VT-Napa2 Wine Credenza performs this function for wine, and it does so beautifully.

The VT-Napa2 is crafted from wood finished in rich walnut. Vertically, it is divided into three sections. The outer two, which are actually the wine coolers, are equipped with wood-framed glass doors with a bronzed metal grid mounted before them. The grid is decorated with a grapevine detail, providing a none too subtle hint to what is kept behind the doors. The middle section is an open cabinet with two shelves and two sets of suspended stemware racks. Above the doors and cabinet are three drawers where you can store bottle openers, coasters, bottle stoppers, and other wine-related paraphernalia.

The wine coolers can each hold 20 bottles of wine. As their temperatures can be set independently starting at 50° – 65°F, you can adjust one for the storage of red wines and the other for whites. To maintain these temperatures, the VT-Napa2 is equipped with a hybrid cooling system consisting of a compressor using R134a refrigerant along with a thermoelectric cooling mechanism.

Helping to maintain the set temperature inside the coolers are the dual-paned glass doors. These insulate the coolers keeping cool air inside while at the same time preventing cool air from seeping out.

Inside the coolers are five shelves with scalloped racks. These keep the wine bottles from rolling on their sides and disturbing the wine sediments. They can also be pulled out for convenience in loading and retrieving your wine. Internal lights in the coolers illuminate the bottles enabling you to read the wine labels.

The Vinotemp VT-Napa2 Wine Credenza is approximately 60 inches long, 21 deep, and 39 high.

Designed to blend with elegant and classy living rooms or dens finished with wood panels and heavy drapes, the Le Cache European Country 2400 Wine Cellar is itself a tasteful and refined wine cabinet reminiscent of classical European furniture. It features a pair of hardwood French doors with hand-carved moldings securing the glass panels. Pewter handles and security locks are mounted on the doors keeping your wine collection safe. Both the crown and the base are decorated with moldings adding character to the wine cellar. It is topped with a veneer of premium cherry wood, which can be in any of three finishes –provincial cherry for a light hue, classic cherry, and chocolate cherry.

The wine cellar is equipped with a CellarPro wine-cooling unit. You can, however, choose the CellarPro model that suits your purposes and conditions. The temperature at which you plan on regularly running your wine cellar and the usual ambient temperature in your locality will affect your choice. Le Cache provides an online table to help you make your choice. The cooling unit is installed at the upper section inside the cellar. It features an electronic thermostat with a digital temperature display.

In order to keep the air inside the wine cellar cool, the cabinet is insulated with foil-backed polyisocyanurate, which is an improved version of polyurethane. Dual glass panes further helps with this. The glass panes are tinted to keep UV rays from adversely affecting your wines.

Inside the wine cellar is an Interlock racking system made totally of wood that can accommodate up to 286 wine bottles, including large format types. A low-heat light is fitted in the interior to illuminate your wine collection.

The Le Cache European Country 2400 Wine Cellar has measurements of 44″ W x 31″ D x 88″ H.

Medieval furniture and fixtures feature plenty of elaborate embellishments, curves and circles, and twists and twirls. It is this design concept that the Vinotemp Clavos 440-Model Wine Cooler Cabinet incorporates.

With this kind of design, it is rather inevitable that wood should be used at least for the external cabinet. Indeed, it is made of Southern California domestic wood handcrafted to look like wood planks. Although the standard exterior wood is oak, you can have the wine cooler in maple, mahogany, cherry, birch, or pine. You can even choose from among 20 options the finish of the wood that you prefer including natural, light walnut, golden oak, dark red mahogany, and rich brown, to name a few.

The double doors of the cooler are opened with two metal rings fastened to the door with x-shaped metal attachments. The doors pivot on hinges that are molded like arrows pointing towards the middle of the cabinet. Decorative metal buttons traverse the cabinet, dividing it into an upper and lower section.

Inside the Vinotemp Clavos 440-Model Wine Cooler Cabinet is a wine rack consisting of 280 cubicles sized at 3.75 inches. These are intended for standard size wine bottles. If you plan on storing larger bottles, you have the option of adding two more rows of 4- or 4.5-inch cubicles. The rack is made of redwood but is supported by aluminum braces for stability.

Using Vinotemp’s Wine Mate cooling system, the cooler maintains a temperature of 55°F, and humidity ranging from 50 – 70%. This simulates the conditions in the caves in France where local vintners store their produce. Most wine experts consider this temperature to be ideal for the long-term storage of wine. Depending on the type of wine, however, you may need either to chill or warm it before serving. Standard cooling system is rated at 1,500 BTUs but an upgrade to 2,500 BTUs is available.

The cooler stands almost seven feet. It is 38 inches wide and 29 inches deep. It will make a perfect decoration for your formal dining room, apart from making the wine readily accessible.

Looking more like a china cabinet for the display of dinnerware than a wine refrigerator, the Vinotemp VT-BLEEKER2 Wine Bar is better suited for the dining room or living room rather than the kitchen.

It is constructed from solid hardwood that is finished in a very dark burgundy. It has two main sections –a lower section enclosed with dual glass doors and an upper section sealed with two paneled doors. The lower area houses the wine refrigerator while the upper serves as storage for wine glasses, decanters, corkscrews, stoppers, and other wine serving and drinking accessories. All doors are opened with bronze ring knobs.

The wine refrigerator is divided vertically into two cooling zones, each having its own door. The temperature of these zones can be set individually allowing you to chill your Chardonnay and Chablis at 50°F in one zone, while keeping Bordeaux and Burgundy in the other at 65°F.

Seven sturdy wire racks finished with chrome plating cradle 21 wine bottles in each zone. They are scalloped to keep the bottles still and they feature a front wood trim that matches the finish of the wood cabinet. Slightly slanted with a lower outer end, the bottle’s labels can be easily read even behind the glass door, a perfect display position. Interior lights help turn the display into a more dramatic presentation.

The glass doors consist of two glass panes framed in hardwood, thus providing excellent insulation for the refrigerator preventing the flow of hot air from outside into the cooler, while at the same time keeping cold air inside.

The Vinotemp VT-BLEEKER2 Wine Bar features a hybrid cooling system. This is composed of a thermoelectric mechanism that is backed-up with a compressor utilizing the least harmful of refrigerants, the R134a. The use of this coolant assures the delivery of lower temperatures even when ambient temperature rises to higher levels.

The wine bar has dimensions of 31.5″ W x 20.25″ D x 50″ H.

Built from premium cherry wood that is stained either in provincial, classic, or chocolate finish, the Le Cache European Country Wine Credenza makes an elegant addition to your formal dining room, living room, den, or study.

It features an elaborate crown molding that is integrated with the wood credenza top. It also boasts of a base molding further adding character to the buffet. Having a width of 71 inches, it has three doors consisting of double panes of UV-resistant glass framed with solid cherry wood.

Inside each door of this graceful and refined wine credenza is an interlocking rack of cherry wood that allows individual bottle racking. Together they have a capacity of 150 racked bottles. This means that each bottle is cradled by the wood racks. If you do not mind storing bottles over bottles, the credenza’s holding capacity can be increased to 180. This, however, is not recommended as there is the risk of breakage, and smudging, tearing, or scratching of the labels, not to mention the difficulty of retrieving bottles at the bottom of the pile.

The racks are not limited to standard 750 mL bottles. They can accommodate bigger Burgundy, Pinot Noir, or Champagne bottles, or those with different configurations. You can showcase these bottles through the glass door by turning on the low-heat fluorescent interior light. As an option, you can instead have an LED light at extra cost.

The Le Cache European Country Wine Credenza cools your wine collection with its CellarPro Cooling System. This is a compressor-based mechanism that is extremely quiet and vibration-free. It features an electronic thermostat and LED display. It also has an auto defrost capability and an adjustable humidity control.

The wine credenza is designed for the storage and aging of wine. It automatically shuts itself when inside temperature falls below the Minimum Set Point, while it comes alive if temperature rises beyond the Minimum Set Point plus the Temperature Differential, which is 4°F. The CellarPro, however, is not designed to cool your wine at temperatures 25°F lower than the ambient temperature.

The hybrid cooling system of the Vinotemp Bordeaux2C Credenza Wine Cabinet bridges the gap between wine coolers that solely use either a compressor with refrigerant or a thermoelectric system. It uses them both.

The hybrid cooling system of the Vinotemp Bordeaux2C Credenza Wine Cabinet bridges the gap between wine coolers that solely use either a compressor with refrigerant or a thermoelectric system. It uses them both.

While the former cooling system is able to bring temperatures down to lower levels for your desert wines, it has the potential to damage the ozone layer. On the other hand, thermoelectric cooling systems may be free of chlorofluorocarbons but often they are unable to properly chill desert, sparkling, and even light-bodied whites. This especially true when ambient temperature is high.

By combining the two, the Bordeaux2C activates its compressor only when the thermoelectric system is unable to lower temperatures to the desired level. To minimize the environmental impact of the compressor, the refrigerant 134a is used. Of all the available refrigerants, this is the least harmful.

The Bordeaux2C is a beautiful oak-finished credenza that is completely at home in formal dining rooms and living rooms. Its rich warm tone is a perfect complement to most furniture or room. It has two glass doors with arched tops framed in wood, with one hinged on the left of the credenza and the other on the right.

The doors open to two cooling zones whose temperatures can be set independently of each other. Each zone has seven wood shelves consisting of slats spaced apart to keep the bottles from rolling and a front trim that is visible through the glass door. These shelves can carry six bottles each. Thus, you can store 42 reds on one side and another 42 white or sparkling wines on the other.

The Vinotemp Bordeaux2C Credenza Wine Cabinet measures approximately 39 inches high, 50 inches wide, and 24 inches deep.

The elegant hardwood cabinet with its rich brown hue, the double-paned French doors with ornate metal knobs, and the metal scroll work superimposed on the outer glass pane make the Vinotemp VT-Rioja4 Rioja Wine Cellar look more like an armoire than a wine cellar.

The elegant hardwood cabinet with its rich brown hue, the double-paned French doors with ornate metal knobs, and the metal scroll work superimposed on the outer glass pane make the Vinotemp VT-Rioja4 Rioja Wine Cellar look more like an armoire than a wine cellar. Its dimensions of 67.5 inches for height, 34.8 for width, and 21.5 for depth do nothing to dispel this impression.

The “4″ in the name of the wine cellar denotes its four separate cooling zones whose temperatures can be set independently of each other. This means you can store dessert wines in one zone, sparkling wines in the second, whites in the third, and reds in the fourth and chill them at their own recommended storage temperatures. Each of these zones can hold 21 wine bottles in seven chrome-plated wire racks. These are scalloped to prevent the bottles from rolling over.

A hybrid cooling system chills your wine bottles. The Rioja4 uses both a thermoelectric and compressor cooling mechanism. Although thermoelectric systems are more energy-efficient, quiet, vibration-free, and environmentally friendly, they are sometimes unable to deliver low temperatures. This is especially true when ambient temperature and humidity is high. Compressors, on the other hand, are capable of generating lower temperatures. Along with R134a, the least ozone-depleting of the available refrigerants, the Rioja4 can chill your dessert and sparkling wines to their recommended temperatures of 40°F.

The double paned glass doors allow the showcasing of your wine bottles. An interior light illuminates them for an attractive display. Apart from this, the glass panes also insulate the cellar thus helping maintain a steady temperature in the four cooling zones.

The Vinotemp VT-Rioja4 Rioja Wine Cellar is not suitable for a built-in or recessed installation. At any rate, it would be a waste to conceal its elegant wood finish.

The mahogany finish wood exterior of the Avanti WCR534WDZD-M Wine Cooler gives it a credenza style that makes it perfect for installation not only in the kitchen or dining room but also in the living room or den.

The Avanti WCR534WDZD is a dual zone wine cooler that can accommodate up to 46 wine bottles. A horizontal divider splits the cooler’s interior into an upper zone with two shelves and a lower zone with four. The upper zone shelves carry 16 bottles while those in the lower zone handle 30. All shelves are made of wood with fronts finished in a natural tone perfectly complementing the wood exterior. They slide out up to 80% which makes storage and withdrawal of wine bottles convenient.

A digital control panel is mounted on the divider between the two zones. This consists of touch buttons and an LED display indicating the temperature levels. With the buttons temperature in the two zones can be adjusted independently of each other to a level appropriate to the wine in storage.

Your wine bottles are visible through the tinted glass door. They are illuminated with a soft blue LED light to provide an attractive display. Both zones have their own lights which could be turned on for continuous illumination.

The Avanti WCR534WDZD-M Wine Cooler utilizes a compressor and refrigerant for cooling. It also has a built-in fan that circulates cool air within the cooler thus maintaining even cooling. Its automatic defrost system prevents the build up of frost or ice.

The cooler has a height of 35 inches, width of 27.25, and depth of 23.25.
