ABOUT WINE REFRIGERATORS

Wine refrigerators are specifically designed for the storage of wine and other beverages. The simplest wine refrigerators have a single refrigerator compartment, with a glass front door, and use normal refrigerator technology. They may be designed to hold wine alone, canned beverages alone, or a combination of both.

For those who wish to store both red and white wine, dual zone wine refrigerators are available. These have two compartments, with independent temperature control, for red and white wine.

Thermoelectric wine refrigerators have several advantages over conventional refrigerators with compressor cooling systems. They are more compact, are silent, do not impose any vibration on the wine, and don't release any ozone-depleting chemicals. This technology is most applicable to smaller wine refrigerators.
