Limited space at home should not prevent you from indulging in your passion to collect and store a few bottles of precious wine. You may not have a basement or extra room in your house that can be dedicated to wine storage, but you may have some storage space beneath one of your counters or benchtops. You can then have an under-counter wine cooler to keep a few wine bottles. There are several styles and sizes of small portable wine storage units that will fit the space that you have. You just have to learn what to look for when choosing one.

An under-counter wine cooler is a portable wine storage unit available in different sizes, shapes and designs to complement your kitchen, den or dining area. It is fitted with a glass door so you can easily see what is inside. Look for one installed with LED lights to provide enough lighting to survey your wine collection without opening the door and without generating heat that can harm the wine. All under-counter wine coolers and refrigerators have front ventings in order to release any of the hot air generated whilst cooling your wine.

Size and Capacity of Under-Counter Wine Coolers

Under-counter wine coolers can store between 10 and 50 bottles of wine. Selecting the right size of course depends on the space available under your counter or benchtop. Under-counter wine coolers can be bought as tall, thin units, or shorter, wider units.

Best Under-Counter Wine Coolers

There are simple and straight-forward under-counter wine coolers, and there are some that are fitted with advanced features like different cooling zones, LED lights, wire shelves, LED displays, door locks, stainless steel bodies and doors with stainless steel frames. All these contribute greatly to how the units perform in storing and safeguarding your personal wine collection.
Look for an under counter wine storage unit that will be able to store the types of wines you collect. White wines, rose wines and red wines require different temperatures to properly age so you should look for a unit that has different cooling zones. And see to it that the storage unit will be able to hold bottles of different sizes.

One of the best-selling, and best value, under-counter wine coolers is the Haier HVCE15BBH Built-In or Freestanding 26-Bottle Wine Cellar. This wine cooler fits neatly under a 15″ counter and is an attractive way to store your wines at a constant temperature.
