Why Choose an Under Counter Wine Fridge?

Choosing an under counter wine fridge is ideal if you want to keep your wine close to hand while maintaining a clean, built-in kitchen layout. 

These units are designed to slot beneath standard worktops and work well in a wide range of kitchen designs.

Available in a range of widths from around 150 mm up to 600 mm, these units can accommodate both compact and larger wine collections. 

While under counter models are typically chosen for their space-saving design, taller wine coolers are also available for those who need greater capacity in a freestanding format.

How Many Bottles Can An Under Counter Wine Fridge Hold?

Under counter wine coolers hold between 25 and 50 bottles, making them well-suited to medium-sized collections. Capacities vary by model, with options ranging from compact units to larger designs holding over 100 bottles.

At Elite Wine Refrigeration, our range of under counter wine units includes a variety of sizes, allowing you to choose a model that fits both your kitchen space and storage needs. 

Under Counter Wine Fridges vs Drinks Fridges

Integrated and built-in wine coolers can be installed alongside other kitchen appliances, but they should not be placed next to heat sources such as ovens, dishwashers, or washing machines.

Built-in models may sit slightly proud of cabinetry, while integrated wine fridges are designed to sit fully within kitchen units for a more seamless finish. 

Freestanding wine coolers, on the other hand, are designed to stand alone and require adequate space around them for proper airflow and cooling performance.

All three options provide effective wine storage, whether you’re keeping bottles ready to serve or storing them for longer periods. For more insight, see our guide on different types of wine storage.

Temperature Zones

When wine units were first introduced, they only maintained one temperature throughout the unit. These are called single-zone wine coolers.

However, as technology has progressed, manufacturers have developed different types of wine fridges that feature dual-temperature zones or multi-temperature zones.

You can benefit from a dual-zone wine cooler if you have a varied wine collection; red wines and white wines are best served at separate temperatures, and a dual-zone fridge allows you to store your different wines at their optimal serving temperatures.

Likewise, a dual-zone wine fridge enables you to store some of your wine bottles for long periods while having other bottles stored at the same time but at serving temperature.

For example, your wine may need to be stored at 5°C or even 8, so that's why we offer a range of coolers that can range from 5°C to 20°C, giving you all the requirements you need to store your collection optimally.

Multi-zone wine coolers offer polyvalent technology, allowing you to store your wine collection at three separate temperatures within the same unit.

In polyvalent wine coolers, the top of the cooler is the warmest, and the bottom is the most chilled. This means you can store your reds at the top and your whites at the bottom.

Humidity Regulation

High-quality under counter wine coolers will feature humidity regulation, which can make long-term wine storage a breeze. Your wine needs some humidity in the storage environment; this is to keep the cork moist.

Without enough humidity, the cork will dry out over time, ultimately exposing your wine to oxygen. This can ruin the quality of the wine in a matter of hours.

However, it’s important to avoid exposing your wine collection to too much humidity. Too much humidity can also be harmful to your wine; it can lead to moisture accumulating inside the wine fridge, encouraging mould growth.

Our selection of under counter drinks fridges feature humidity regulation from 55 to 85%, so you don’t have to worry about the humidity levels inside your wine fridge.

UV Protection

UV protection is extremely important when storing your wine, whether you’re only storing it for a couple of days or you’re storing it for years to come. UV rays can cause irreversible damage to your wine, causing what is known as a ‘light strike’.

Because of this, you may be reluctant to purchase a glass-door wine cooler; you may presume that they let sunlight through, which can damage the quality of your wine.

At Elite Wine Refrigeration, this isn’t the case. All glass-door wine coolers have UV protection, so you can rest easy knowing your wine is safe and protected from harmful UV rays.
