This is my first time to see the cooler features a built-in alarm system. It’s a good design. Do you remember how many times the door of your fridge is not close properly? I think the total value of the wines is much more expensive than food.

The door is smaller and easier to open. It looks beautiful than a single door. Each door has an independent lock. You can just lock one side and share the other side with your wife, son, or anyone you want. Two doors are much more flexible.

Each of the doors comes with a towel bar handle that is sturdy and looks nice.

When the door is not closed properly, the cooler will comes with a beep sound to alert you. Only seldom of coolers in the market has this feature. If it is summer, I think your wines will have a big problem if the door is not closed for a long time.

When you turn on the light, the LED light of the upper zone and the lower zone will light up together. LED will not generate any heat so it’s suitable to use inside the wine cooler. It’s not like the traditional light bulb that will generate heat.

When it has heat, the temperature will become unstable. It’s not good for the wine. Then the compressor needs to keep running to lower the temperature. At the end of the month, you may find the bill is higher than last month.

The cooler doesn’t have a security lock so you cannot lock the door. If you have kids, your wines may get trouble because the temperature of the cooler will become unstable if the door is opened frequently. I think most of the kids like to play with the door.

It has 5 removable shelves. You can hold up to 29 standard 750mL wine bottles at one time. You can remove the shelf to store a larger bottle. All the shelf comes with 2 stoppers on each side that can prevent the wine from falling down when the shelf is moving.

You will see 2 blue digital displays on the control panel. The one uses to display the inside temperature all day. The other one displays the set temperature during adjustment.

The big door is reversible. You can adjust the hinge at any time to fit a different environment and different hand users. But I suggest do it with 2 people because the door is very heavy. 2 people work together is safer.

The glass door comes with black dot tinting that can block the sunlight and UV rays. It can keep the inside temperature more stable and keep the wine in the best condition.

The door features a flat bar handle. If you are already bored with a towel bar handle, you can consider other kinds of the handle.

It’s reversible. You can adjust the hinge to fit the layout of your space to become a part of the nice decoration.

How To Choose The Best Built-In Wine Cellars

I believe going through the different specifications of the wine cooler will make you more easily understand the differences of the cooler.

Capacity

You have to know all the stated capacity is based on the size of the 750mL standard wine bottle. If you want to store a larger bottle, you can simply remove the shelf but the total capacity will also decrease.

Size

The smaller cooler I see can hold 18 bottles. The biggest can hold 172.

Before you make a decision, you have to know how many wines you have to store in the cooler. Otherwise, what you buy will be either too small or too big.

Type Of Handle

As I see in the market, there are 4 kinds of handle.

  1. Recessed handle
  2. Towel bar handle
  3. Curved handle
  4. Flat bar handle

You can choose it according to your personal preference to blend with your surrounding decoration.

Reversible Door

Most of the door is reversible. You can change the orientation at any time. But, if your cooler is very big, I suggest do it with 2 people because the door will be very heavy. It’s hard to change by only 1 person. I suggest do it as safely as possible.

Digital Display

It will show you the temperature all the time. You can observe the temperature to know the cooler is functions properly or not.

If you see the temperature is fluctuation frequently, the reasons may be the door is not closed properly or the compressor cannot function properly.

Door Lock

Frequently open the door will affect the stability of the temperature. Then it will affect the wines. If you have kids, they may always play with the door, open and close.

Therefore, always lock the door is a good idea. It can also prevent anyone accesses your wines without permission.

Control Panel Lock

If the panel can lock, it can prevent the temperature adjusted accidentally.

Ball-bearing Track

You can slide the shelf in and out smoothly to access your wines easily.

Dual Zone

There are two kinds of dual-zone

  1. Upper zone and lower zone
  2. Left zone and right zone

The second one will use the French door design. It looks nice and elegant so I like this style more.

Type Of Shelves

It’s either a wire shelf or a wooden shelf.

Stopper On The Shelf

If the shelf has a stopper on two sides, it can prevent the wines from falling down when the shelf is moving

Conclusion

In the end, I think most of you already know how to choose the most suitable wine cooler for you or for your family.

If you are new or don’t want to spend too much, I suggest buying a small one first. if it can fulfill your requirements, you can buy a high-end wine cooler.

In my opinion, you have to know what kind of wine you always enjoy. If your wine has some specific requirements for the temperature, then I think it’s better to buy a dual-zone. Otherwise, it can fulfill you.

Actually, the price of a built-in wine cooler is expensive than a freestanding wine cooler, if you want to know more about that, please read the following post

Other than the wine cooler, I have created some post about a different kind of fridge, please read the following post to know more.

I hope my post is helpful for everyone to make the best decision. If you have any questions, opinions, or opinions, please leave them below. I’d love to hear that.

Thank you for this very thorough post about built in wine cellars. It is a dream of mine to have one in my home.

    CT · November 30, 2019 at 7:08 pm

    Nice to meet you Geri. If you are a wine lover, the wine cellar can keep your wine in the best condition. Many people don’t understand why it needs to buy a piece of equipment for the wine because you just need to store your wines inside and the machine will do all the rest for you. Then you can enjoy it at any time you want.

    If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to ask me at any time.

Amazing, a debt of gratitude is in order for getting my “work done” for me! I have been searching for a wedding blessing and I know literally nothing about wine or wine coolers. I truly like the Kalamera Wine Cooler with 30″ 66 Bottles limit however I will invest somewhat more energy checking on your diagram before I settle on my ultimate choice. I can see you put a ton of work into your examination and I welcome the work it spares me.

    Hi arzu. Nice to meet you. You are right. There are so many models on the market. Most of them are expensive. It’s not easy to make a decision in a short time. You have to choose it carefully according to the size, price, or other features such as the digital display, lock, dual-zone, and more.

    If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to ask me at any time.

Hi, I’m looking to get a house warming gift for my brother and his first house. Since he is a bit of a wine connoisseur I wanted to get him something wine related. After skimming over your review of the best built-in wine cellars I am pretty much sold on the idea of getting him one. My main question is if you know which wine cellar would be the most budget-friendly and convenient to move around? Do any of the wine cellars you reviewed have wheels so they can be moved without too much trouble? I have no idea what his new house is like so I am hoping for a wine cellar that is versatile in it’s placement. Thx xoxo

    Hello julzdk. Nice to meet you. I’m sorry to tell you about that. As I know, it has no built in wine cellars come with the wheels because it’s very heavy especially full of wine inside. It can’t be move easily without empty it. If it comes with wheels, I think it will be broken easily.

    Instead of wheels, it’s the adjustable feet that let you adjust it to fit the uneven floor so you can store your wine in the even environment.

    According to my research, the higher the price, the bigger the wine cellar. Therefore, if you want the most budget-friendly model, it will be small. In my post, Kalamera 12” Wine Cooler is the BUDGET PRODUCT but it can only hold 18 bottles at one time. If your brother loves wine, I think it should be too small for him.

    I suggest you ask him how many bottles will he store at home normally so you can know how to choose the best one for him.

    If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to ask me at any time.

Thank you very much for this article. My father is very passionate about wines. We have a very large grape field and every year he makes wine.
The problem of storage is a big one because we have different types of wine and the temperature is the most important. I would like to buy Kalamera KR-12A2E Silent 12 Bottles, which we can keep in the apartment and show to his friends his wine collection. The price of $109 is acceptable considering the performance of this fridge. I would like to make a Christmas gift for him. 
Thanks a lot and I hope to see more articles like this one.

    Hello Nimrodngy. It’s good to hear your father has a very large grape field. I think you do enjoy running around there when you were young. It’s nice and fun.

    I’m glad to hear you choose Kalamera KR-12A2E Silent 12 Bottles for your father. It’s small, nice, and cheap. As a showcase, it’s perfect.

    If you have any questions about that, please feel free to ask me at any time.

I honestly got overwhelmed by so many choices as I was just looking for a wine cellar that’s good for a small home only. But then, I’d like to thank you for this elaborate review. I find this review of yours helpful as you have explained in detail and have compared the different wine cellars that are available today in Amazon. I think I’ll just go for the Allavino Flexcount VSWR56 that’s good only for 56 bottles for simplicity’s sake.

    CT · December 1, 2019 at 10:48 pm

    Hi Gomer. I’m happy you can choose the right wine cellar for yourself. Allavino Flexcount VSWR56 features 2 different zones with different temperatures. It’s really good to store 2 different wines on the same machine.

    The lock on the bottom allows you to protect your wine safely. As you know, children like to open the door. If the temperature always changes, it’s not good for the wines.

    I hope you can enjoy your wine at any moment. If you have any questions about that, please feel free to ask me at any time.

Hello,
I have always left my bottles of wine outside a wine cellar. The variance in temperature has spoiled some of my best bottles… I was considering to buy a wine cellar and thankfully I landed on your post that has detailed characteristics of selected cellars. This made my choice much easier.
Thanks

    CT · December 2, 2019 at 11:19 pm

    Hello Eleftherios, it’s so nice to hear my post is helpful for you to make the right decision. I think the most important factors are size, capacity, and single/dual-zone.

    I hope you can the new wine cellar in a short time. If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to ask me at any time.
