Thermoelectric Cooler fits in many places that most other wine coolers will not. This compact wine cooler measures just over 11 inches wide, but he still manages to hold up to 12 bottles of wine in perfect conditions. In addition, it uses a thermoelectric cooling unit, so there is no vibration to disturb the sediment in your wine. To cool the wine compact, this wine cooler is perfect.

Welcome to the website. The 12 bottle wine cooler is the latest trend in storing wine as it should be. And with the compact sizes, it is easy to find a place in the house. Even if you don’t do a lot of entertaining, this is a good item to have or to give as a gift because it does a bottle good. It keeps the wine at the proper temperature and allows for the perfect serving temperature. Most wine cellars have adjustable thermostats and shelves to make them versatile. And they come in so many colors they will fit almost anywhere in your home and look wonderful.

Vinotemp Wine Cooler
You know good wine storage is essential for both drinking everyday and for the long-term aging of the vintage. And the people at Vinotemp, I believe, have put great effort into caressing those bottles at the perfect temperature in a 12 bottle wine cooler that is tough to beat. In fact, wine drinkers who know their vintage rave about the Vinotemp, not because of the great price and durability, but because the unit actually does what it supposed to do, with no worrying. Time and again users know they will be serving wine at the temperature that they enjoy, and that it will be keeping their wine the way it should be kept. Perfect.

Cuisinart Wine Cellar
This is a masterpiece in wine storage. Cuisinart studied how you keep your wine and how that affects how it develops in the bottle. So with that in mind their 12 bottle wine cooler has preset temperature settings and something I loved when I saw it because I know how the vibration of the chiller on a lot of these refrigerators can affect the wine; they have a dampening mechanism to keep the vibration to a minimum. Of course you should never freeze wine and this wine cellar has a feature that prevents that from happening, too.

12 Bottle Wine Cellar
You probably already know that if you’re going to store your wine for any length of time that the wine should come in contact with the cork. With a 12 bottle wine cellar, they do. Bottles lay flat keeping the cork moist and preventing oxidation that can make what would be awesome wine taste bitter. I often wondered why wine at Costco is stored upright for the most part, but I suppose that it doesn’t stay on the shelf very long, so it’s not an issue. Most portable wine cellars such as this one have room for a couple of bottles to stand upright so you can chill and use them. All of the racks are removable to clean and adjust to the height you need them.

Wine Refrigeration
Wine stores best in a wine cellar around 55 degrees and so what wine refrigeration does, like the 12 bottle wine cooler, is to imitate that environment as closely as possible. A kitchen refrigerator isn’t good for this because the temperatures fluctuate wildly every time someone opens the door. Wine wants a constant temperature and when things aren’t just right, it can spoil. Ever have that bitter taste with a wine you swore was awesome? So investing in wine refrigeration is not only smart, but protecting your investment.

If you’ve been shopping for a 12 bottle wine cellar you already know that no ordinary cooler will do. The reason why they are given the name cellar is because the market wanted to distinguish these coolers from the one you drink. You know wine storage is critical, and that’s why you’re here to check out recommendations on the popular units. These are great devices when they are working, but they are plagued with problems because of a single issue.

In order to chill wine to the proper temperature, and to have it sit at the proper humidity, like a wine cellar, so it tastes like we’re used to – come to think of it – the moment wine leaves the wine cellar for consumption, i.e. from the darkness of some cellar in California, France or Italy, it takes quite a journey. The big deal with wine, or so they tell us, is that it stores better when it is totally still, not shaken. I am not sure what the pros would say about when wine is transported to various countries. Surely it must take a toll on the vintage. But that is just the reason 12 bottle wine cellar manufacturers claim they must put in a thermoelectric (no moving parts) chiller rather than the normal compressor and gas unit. You see, the thermoelectric does not vibrate, so the wine does not get moved.

It’s easy to make a small cabinet for a refrigerator for these 12 bottle wine cellars. Small refrigerator manufacturers have been doing this for quite some time. A little modification and they are ready to be fitted with the chiller unit. The major problem in all of these units has been that the thermoelectric unit does not hold up under continuous use. It breaks down around the 8 month mark and you either have to replace it with another one or junk the cellar. If you find this to be untrue, drop me a line here using the contact us link above right.

Searching, but I’ve yet to find a wine cellar that uses any other technology for the 12 bottle size. However, some of the larger wine cellars have a better track record and would be my recommendation. There is no best of the best, but there are many 12 bottle wine cellars on the market. What I would do if you must have one of these is to find an online retailer that will honor a 12 month warranty, has an 800 number, and has been selling these for a while. Try to get free shipping if you can and just know that you may have to be sending the unit back or replacing the chiller parts in about eight months.
