Choosing a bar or wine fridge
Bar fridges for drinks, and wine fridges for storing and serving wine. Brands include Vintec, Fisher & Paykel, Smeg, Westinghouse and Hisense.
Bar fridges keep drinks cold. Wine fridges hold wine at cellaring or serving temperatures, which are warmer than a food fridge and not suitable for perishable food. Dual zone models keep two temperature ranges. Bottle capacities are usually quoted for standard Bordeaux bottles, so allow for larger bottles. If you're building one under a bench, choose a model designed for underbench installation.
Frequently asked questions
Can red and white wine share a wine fridge?
For long-term cellaring, yes. Around 12°C suits both. A dual zone model helps if you want each at its serving temperature.
Need more frozen storage too? See freezers.
