Product Information

The reason why this is important is that wine needs to be stored at a certain temperature range to maintain its flavour and avoid it going bad. On the other hand, if you are someone whose collection consists of a range of reds and whites, you will need to consider purchasing a dual zone unit. How Do I Install My 15cm / 150mm Integrated Wine Cooler? If you are someone who simply likes to keep 5-8 of your favourite bottles to hand, or you are just starting out in the world of wine collecting, a small bottle capacity 150mm wine fridge may be a great choice for you. As a general rule these wine fridges come with doors which open from left to right (right hand side hinge).

A dry full-bodied red wine will require a different temperature zone than a complex and sweet white wine. And using the electronic temperature control will help you adjust this.

The reversible door makes it easy to fit into any room layout, whether it's placed against a wall or in a corner.

Getting your wine to the ideal serving or storage temperature is serious business. It's one of the key reasons wine enthusiasts buy a cooler. But with horror stories of bottles freezing and exploding in woefully bad appliances, simply assuming all wine coolers stay at the set temperature could prove to be a costly mistake. Wine fridges are typically offered with single or dual-zone temperature control. As the name suggests, single-zone refers to one temperature setting for the entire unit; dual-zone has separate controls for either side-by-side or top and bottom sections of the fridge. Single-zone options are fine for those who want to keep all their wine at the same temperature, a typical choice for collectors who are aging their wines. Dual-zone gives you the option to keep whites and sparkling very cold while keeping reds just under room temperature (that is, their ideal serving temperatures), allowing you to have bottles ready to drink at any time. This leaves approximately 2.5mm of space on each side of the unit to allow for sufficient ventilation and room for the door to open without obstruction. 150mm, 15cm Wine Fridges, Coolers & Chillers More About 150mm Built In Wine Coolers
