12 Bottle Wine Cellar Reviews
DO I NEED A 12 BOTTLE WINE CELLAR?
There is a reason why the most serious wine collectors and enthusiasts don’t just leave their wine bottles in cupboards. This is because a wine’s integrity and flavor can be greatly affected by ambient temperature. A traditional wine cellar is what is normally used, but for people who have neither the space nor the budget for one, the solution is getting a thermoelectric wine cooler!
If you love having a variety of wines ready, a 12 bottle wine cellar that is thermoelectric is a good choice to have. A thermoelectric cooler, as the name implies, uses electricity to keep the temperature of the wine as constant as possible, in order to preserve and age them properly. These units usually keep the temperature between 46 to 66 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the ideal temperature range for most wines.
A good unit to have is a 12 bottle wine cooler, especially if you have a taste for a wide variety of wines. Many of these 12 bottle wine fridge options will have different layouts and designs that will be suited for the space you will allocate for them.
12 BOTTLE WINE COOLER BRANDS
The Ivation IV-FWCT121B Thermoelectric Wine Cooler and the Nutrichef PKTEWC120 Thermoelectric Wine Cooler for example, are vertical wine fridge 12 bottle units, which is ideal for a countertop with a limited surface area or to place in between other appliances.
For a countertop space that’s just below a cupboard, the KLARSTEIN Reserva 12 Duo Stainless Steel Dual Zone Wine Cooler and the NutriChef PKTEWC122 – Thermoelectric Wine Cooler are good choices. They are not as vertical as the first two, but still save on footprint space by featuring a 3 bottle per row, 4 row layout.
There are even more compact options, such as the Wine Enthusiast 272 03 12W Silent 12 Bottle Wine Cooler and Magic Chef MCWC12B 12-Bottle Single-Zone Wine Cooler. They feature the same 3×4 layout, but have smaller spaces in between rows and bottles.
