The Samsung RW51TS338SR/AA is a 24 inch, 51 bottle dual zone wine cooler that is built to slide into a standard base cabinet. It is no longer sold on Amazon, but Samsung still makes it and it is still sold through appliance retailers. It suits a kitchen remodel that needs two zones and a clean built-in look, at an upper mid-range price. The trade-off is a narrower temperature range than some rivals, with both zones set between 41 and 64 degrees F.
Samsung RW51TS338SR/AA 51 Bottle Dual Zone Wine Cooler Review
Earlier this fall I listed this Samsung as discontinued because it disappeared from Amazon. It did not go away. Samsung still makes it, appliance retailers still sell it, and it is a solid built-in pick for a two-zone collection.
How I reviewed this: I have not had this model in my home. This review is built from Samsung’s specification sheet and installation guide, weighed against the coolers I have tested myself.
Is the Samsung RW51TS338SR/AA Worth It for You?
Recommended for: Kitchens with a 24 inch base cabinet opening that need red and white wine at two temperatures, and buyers who want a long compressor warranty from a large appliance maker.
Look elsewhere if: You want to store wine colder than 41 degrees F or warmer than 64 degrees F, you plan to tuck it into a corner or tight against a wall, or you are shopping on Amazon only.
What Works
- 51 bottles in a standard 24 inch under-counter width
- Two temperature zones for reds, whites and sparkling
- Triple-pane, UV-resistant glass door
- Five full-extension shelves
- Samsung lists ten years parts and five years labor on the digital inverter compressor
- Fingerprint-resistant stainless finish
What Doesn’t
- Both zones run 41 to 64 degrees F, a narrower range than some competitors
- Samsung advises against installing it in a corner or right beside a wall
- Heavy, at 143.3 lb per Samsung’s sheet
- No longer on Amazon, so you buy it through an appliance retailer

Who Should Buy the Samsung RW51TS338SR/AA?
Kitchen remodels with a 24 inch opening
Good fit
- Samsung’s installation spec calls for only 1 1/16 inches at the rear and 1/8 inch at the sides and top, which is what lets it sit inside a cabinet run. See my notes on built-in wine coolers for what that kind of install involves.
- The door opens to 115 degrees, so the full-extension shelves can slide all the way out.
Mixed red and white collections
Worth knowing
- Two zones let you keep whites cooler than reds. Both zones share the same 41 to 64 degrees F range, so check that range covers how you serve. The temperature zone matcher shows what each style needs.
- For more on two-zone units, read my dual zone wine cooler guide.
Where it struggles
Think twice
- Corners and end runs. Samsung says not to install it in a corner or right beside a wall, and to leave at least 3 3/4 inches for the door if you must.
- Tight budgets. This is an upper mid-range cooler. My best under counter wine cooler guide has lower-priced options.

Questions Readers Ask
Is the Samsung RW51TS338SR/AA discontinued?
No. It is no longer sold on Amazon, but Samsung still makes it and appliance retailers still sell it.
Can the Samsung wine cooler be built in under a counter?
Yes. Samsung’s installation guide is written for a cabinet opening, with 1 1/16 inches of clearance at the rear and 1/8 inch at the sides and top. The under-counter guide covers what to measure first.
Will it really hold 51 bottles?
That figure assumes standard 750 ml bottles. Wider Burgundy and Champagne bottles take more room. The space calculator gives a more realistic figure for what you actually buy.
What warranty does the Samsung wine cooler have?
Samsung lists one year parts and labor, five years on the sealed refrigeration system, and ten years parts with five years labor on the digital inverter compressor.
Final Verdict
Samsung RW51TS338SR/AA is a smart buy for a kitchen with a 24 inch opening that needs two zones, because it pairs 51 bottles with triple-pane UV glass and a long compressor warranty. Check that 41 to 64 degrees F covers how you store and serve.
- Best for: Built-in kitchen installs with mixed red and white collections
