4 Benefits of Adding a Wine Fridge to Your Home
Is there anything better than enjoying steamed mussels with a bottle of pinot grigio? Do you find it impossible to enjoy your Moroccan-style lamb or homemade butternut squash ravioli without your favorite bottle of cabernet sauvignon? If you love elevating your dishes with classic pairings and challenging your pallet on occasion, then you might benefit from keeping a wine cooler fridge in your home.
Wine fridges allow you to store several bottles at once, so you always have an ideal pairing at hand. Some models even have different temperature settings, so your reds aren’t chilled as harshly as your whites and sparkling wines. If you are interested in updating your home decor to accommodate your wine palette, get to your current options on the market. Here are four wine fridges you will love.

4 Benefits of Adding a Wine Fridge to Your Home
If you enjoy drinking wine and exploring different flavor profiles, you might benefit from adding a wine cooler to your home. Here are a few reasons why people seek out these appliances – and why they love them.
- Save space in your main refrigerator. You don’t have to worry about bulky bottles taking up space in your refrigerator. In some models, you can chill more than 50 wine bottles at once, along with cans and other beverages.
- Chill wine at the perfect temperature. The ideal temperature stores food at 40°F or below. This is usually way too cold for certain wines, which need to be stored in the 50-60°F range. You can set the ideal temperature (to a degree) for wine with one of these coolers.
- Build an entertaining space in your home. You don’t need to store your wine fridge in the kitchen. You can place it in your living room or den where you entertain guests. This gives you easy access to your favorite bottles whenever friends and family visit.
- Increase your resale value. When it comes time to move, your wine fridge (and other luxury appliances) can be an asset to your home. Your house can appeal to other wine fans or potential buyers who appreciate the space to store drinks.
Some people invest in wine fridges for the storage they provide while other people want to take their wine-tasting to the next level. Whatever your reason, choose a fridge that has the features you need and the design you love.
FAQ
How deep are wine fridges?
The depth of wine fridges varies depending on the model and brand that produces them. On average, wine coolers can fall between 20 inches deep and 30 inches deep. If you have a specific space where you can fit a wine fridge in your home, measure it carefully and then filter your results based on the width, depth, and height you need. This will save you from buying a model that is too big.
What is the price range for wine coolers?
You can find wine coolers in a variety of price ranges. You might be able to find some models for less than $200 or luxury models for more than $2,000. The more advanced models will have more features and are meant for wine aficionados. Set your budget before you start shopping for wine fridges.
Can you store a wine cooler outside?
Some homeowners are tempted to store their wine coolers on the patio or porch. However, this can significantly reduce the life of your appliance. The sun, humidity, and other elements can wear out the electronics and thermometer, making the fridge unreliable. Talk to an appliance specialist to find models made for the outdoors.
