How to Install an Undercounter Wine Cooler Fridge

Whether built-in into cabinets or freestanding, undercounter wine cooler fridges make a great addition to your bar area or entertainment space. There are additional features like a reversible door and shelves with wavy chrome, interior LED lighting, and much more, to keep your bottles at the ideal serving temperature and storage temperature.

Select a model that has one zone if you have a modest or small collection. They have the ability to keep reds at lower temperatures than whites, but they can reduce the overall bottle capacity.

Capacity

Wine coolers made by KitchenAid will keep your bottles cool for your guests. There are models that can be placed under counters or existing cabinets, and come with capacities ranging from a few to many bottles. Many wine refrigerators feature dual temperature-controlled zones so you can store red and white wines at their optimal serving temperatures. Some also have reversible doors to allow for flexible installation options and LED interior lighting that can help you easily find what you're looking for.

Other features to consider include the door lock as well as an optional stainless steel backsplash that can help you create a custom professional appearance. Our range of built-in wine refrigerators comes with a variety of finishes including black and panel-ready, which will fit any space. You'll also find beverage centers and wine cellars which provide additional storage space for drinks, snacks, and meal prep ingredients.

If you're a wine lover it's crucial to review your wine collection before you decide on the capacity of your new undercounter wine fridge. Consider how many bottles you own and how often you entertain, so that you can choose a fridge that is large enough to accommodate your needs. We offer a range of wine refrigerators with double and single zones that can store both red and white wine at the perfect serving temperature.

Our wine storage appliances that are ENERGY-STAR certified make use of energy-efficient technology to maintain precise temperatures and minimize vibration. They employ a dual-evaporator technology to ensure constant moderate humidity, and their dark glass doors have triple-paned windows for UV protection. Some models have carbon filters built-in to eliminate smells.

Our beverage centers under counter are designed to store various beverages, including beer and soda and some fresh food items. We have models that come with fully extended drawers that slide open to allow you to reach your favorite snacks. A majority of our wine and beverage centers as well as refrigerators have reversible doors that let you install them in any location and all come with adjustable shelves that give you maximum storage flexibility. There are also models that can be ADA-compliant to meet the needs of all people in your home.

Temperature

The temperature of the wine refrigerator is a crucial factor to consider as it affects the taste of the wines stored inside. Experts suggest that you store your wine at a cool 55 degrees. This is the temperature at which the earth stores its soil. It keeps your wine secure, without compromising taste or texture.

The ideal temperature to store and serve white or red wine is dependent on the type of refrigerated wine you're serving. Full-bodied red wine like Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon tastes best when stored at 63oF-64oF (17oC-18oC) while lighter styles of white wine such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are best kept at 52oF to 55oF (10oC-14oC).

It is essential to use a thermometer that is external regularly to check the temperature of your wine, regardless of the type. Avoid opening the wine fridge too often to prevent changes in temperature that could alter the flavor and smell of your bottles.

Wine coolers are available in dual and single-zone models and single zones are the most affordable and suitable for long-term storage of all wines. Dual-zone wine refrigerators permit you to store various types of wine in separate areas at optimal temperature, which is great when you have a selection of wines that are unique.

You should look for a wine or beverage fridge equipped with UV-protected doors. They will help to block harmful UV radiations that could harm your wine. You'll also find refrigerators with a variety of finishes, including stainless steel, which seamlessly blends into your kitchen and complement other appliances with its sleek, timeless look.

Design

A wine fridge can be freestanding or built-in. Built-in wine refrigerators can be placed under the counter or in cabinets already in place. They are available in black, stainless steel, and smoke black finishes. They come in different capacity bottles and have different temperature zones. This lets you keep red wine at an optimal temperature and serve white wines at lower temperatures.

Built-in wine fridges can be an elegant addition to any kitchen, or can be used as the home office, bar area, or in a den. The cabinets are usually large enough to hold larger bottles and let you keep your preferred wines in the fridge for entertaining or everyday enjoyment.

Sub-Zero wine storage refrigerators have been designed to protect wine from the most frequent threats to its quality, which include vibration fluctuation in temperature and humidity and temperature fluctuations. Dark opaque glass reduces the exposure to UV radiation, while dampening the engineering reduces vibration and dual evaporators keep a moderate amount of humidity. The refrigeration system is energy efficient and offers two temperature-controlled zones, ensuring your wines are precisely preserved.

Beverage coolers and centers are also great options for storing alcohol and wine. They can be a convenient method of storing beverages like beer, water, or other drinks while keeping them chilled and ready to serve. They are typically available in single or double drawers that can be built-in or recessed under your counter.

Choose a wine or beverage center cellar with a door that can be reversible to allow for a more flexible installation. It also comes with an LED display for control that lets you easily adjust the temperature. Some units come with memory features that can restore the temperature set following an outage in power, helping to prevent wine spoilage. Many wine refrigerator undercounter cellars and refrigerators that are under counters have removable shelves to make it easy to access your favorite bottles. They also feature stoppers that prevent bottles from falling out when taken away. A stainless steel frame that has two layers of glass on the door will enhance any room design. It can also add a luxurious feel to your home.

Installation

Installing your new wine refrigerator is a breeze once you've found a suitable location and determined its power requirements. Before you begin, take out any objects from the cabinet that could block the refrigerator or affect its performance. This will help you measure the space precisely and ensure that the wine cooler is positioned correctly. This process requires a few basic tools, including a screwdriver and measuring tape. Also, you'll need shanks, a drill or a jigsaw for drilling holes if needed.

Make sure the location where you're placing your fridge has enough ventilation. This will allow cool air to circulate and ensure that the temperature remains constant throughout your cabinet. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to heat sources, such as radiators, as they could increase the temperature inside and cause damage to your wines. Keep your wine cooler out of humid areas as this can cause mildew or mold to grow and impact the quality of your wine.

Built-in wine coolers have their vents on the front, which makes them a popular option to fit into cabinets. If you're using a freestanding cooler, it is crucial to keep in mind that the vent will be located in the back. It requires space to work effectively. If the vent is not open, it will require twice the energy required to regulate its internal temperature and will use more than it needs to.

To prevent this from happening, make sure that the skirting boards around your unit don't block the grille on the front. Also, be aware of any gaps on the sides and bottom, because warm air could escape through these tiny gaps. If you are planning to install a skirting around the front of your wine cooler, be sure it has a grille so that the fridge is able to draw cool air in.
