Why this upright wine fridge earns its place
This upright single-door drinks and wine cooler is set up for front-of-house wine display. Five wooden wine shelves cradle bottles behind a full-height hinged glass door, and the all-black exterior and interior give a clean, understated backdrop that keeps the focus on the labels.
It holds a +2 to +10 °C operating range, wide enough to cover both whites and reds from the same cabinet. A mechanical controller with automatic off-cycle defrost keeps it running without a manual defrost routine, it sits at climate class 4, and it is rated at 45 dB for a customer-facing spot. Energy class D and a measured 803 kWh a year come out at about £201 a year at 25p/kWh.
The cooler uses R600a refrigerant with an 80 g charge and draws 295 W through a standard 13 A plug, so no special electrics are required. Internally it measures 470 × 450 × 1555 mm (W×D×H) and has a gross weight of 80 kg, worth accounting for when moving it through doorways and into position.
