Hello, I am Gary and many thanks for visiting this Top Wine Refrigerators site. Feel free to use the navigation pages here to find all information you need about the best wine coolers, the best place to store them, and the different noise levels associated with them.

First and foremost, I have been a wine lover for over 30 years now. During that period, I have been able to collect all kinds of information and extensive research on this subject. Today, I am thankful to be able to share all this useful information with you.

This website does not practice hard selling. On the contrary, I strive to provide good and useful information that will enable you to make the best choice on the coolers/refrigerators you are looking for.

Looking for reviews on certain types of wine cooler brands? I got you covered as well. I have compiled a list of the top brands, so it is only a few clicks away.

Do not be surprised to find some of the reviewed products here having more negatives than positives. Like I said, I call a spade a spade. Absolutely no sugar-coating here.

Now then….

Picking the Best Wine Coolers

For starters, you should have at least a rough idea about the characteristics of the best wine coolers you are searching for. I have segregated them into 3 types here:

Single-Zone Cooling

As the name implies, type of wine refrigerators come equipped with only a single cooling area with temperature control. They are ideal for newbies or light drinkers who only have 1 type of wine to store (white or red).

As the name implies, type of wine refrigerators come equipped with only a single cooling area with temperature control. They are ideal for newbies or light drinkers who only have 1 type of wine to store (white or red). Dual-Zone Cooling

For those that collect more than 1 type of wine (white and red). They are generally more costly than their single-zone counterpart, but not by much.

For those that collect more than 1 type of wine (white and red). They are generally more costly than their single-zone counterpart, but not by much. Built-In Wine Coolers

They are great for integrating with kitchen or bar cabinets. For those that care more about aesthetics, this will be the one to go for as it adds a premium touch to their bar or kitchen area.

If you are just starting out and not much of a wine drinker, then I’d recommend the single-zone option. They are affordable and great to get your feet wet before deciding if you want to take wine cooling to the next level.

You can find more information about single and double-zone cooling along with the types of wine chillers/coolers by visiting the navigational panes on the sidebar. These pages are helpful especially if you are new to wine-keeping.

Once you’ve made up your mind on the cooler you’re interested in, head over to my top wine chiller/cooler reviews section to get a drill down on all the types.

Top 5 Wine Chillers/Coolers

It is a tough task to single out what are the best wine coolers, but the ones below are my best 5:

Haier Dual-zone 12 Bottle Model

At #1 spot, the Haier dual-zone budget wine chiller/cooler has the best overall rating due to its price and value. Newair 28 Bottle Model

Recommended for entry level wine cooling due to its high rating among customers, coupled with fair pricing. EdgeStar Built-In Wine chiller (18 Bottles)

If it wasn’t a built-in unit this Edgestar wine cooler would have gotten a higher spot. Tons of positive customer reviews. AKDY Dual-zone Freestanding (21 Bottles)

Recognized as one of the best bang for your buck dual-zone coolers, not surprizing it’s in the top 5.
