Shane Gannaway on August 14, 2015 3 Comments If you’re looking to remodel your kitchen in the near future, there are probably a lot of ideas bouncing around in your head on how to make your new cooking space the best it can be. Along with a kitchen redesign usually comes quite a bit of shopping for new appliances and accessories. Of course, what you choose to outfit your kitchen with depends on a lot of different variables. The space you have to work with, your budget, the time you spend working in your kitchen–these are all key factors to mull over before diving into your remodel. Even your hobbies and interests come into play when deciding on what to put in your new kitchen. For example, if you’re a wine collector you’ll probably be in the market for a wine cooler. Whether you’re looking for a newer model to replace an old, outdated unit or you’re picking up your very first wine cooling appliance in order to help you store your growing collection, there is such a large variety of coolers out there on the online market today, you’re likely to find exactly what you’re looking for. Take a look below at a list of stellar wine cooling units to get you started in your search. And if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for in a wine cooler, let this article provide you with some much needed inspiration! 1. The All-Around and Versatile While remodeling your kitchen and picking out a wine cooler it is important to decide where you want to place the unit. After all, whether you’re looking for a freestanding unit or something that is specifically meant to be built-in probably has a lot to do with details of your remodel. However, if you only know you want a wine cooler and not necessarily where it’s going to be placed, this EdgeStar unit could be exactly what you’re looking for. This wine cooler has a bottle capacity of 30 standard sized bottles, and can comfortably function as a freestanding or built-in unit. At a mere 15 inches wide, this cooler can easily fit into a lot of spaces that may have recently appeared due to your remodel. An outdated trash compactor, for instance, leaves behind a niche that this unit can effortlessly be built into. In addition, this model has a reversible door, allowing you to fit it in nearly any corner and against any wall. The unit also has an impressive temperature range of 40-65° F, and a digital LED control panel. Complete with tinted glass to protect your collection against UV rays and other harsh lights, and a sleek, stainless steel exterior, this unit can fit into your kitchen remodel with style and function.

If a 15-inch wide cooler is not going to fit snugly in as a built-in, undercounter unit, than this slightly wider and taller unit might do the trick. This EdgeStar wine fridge is still relatively slim, at 23 ½-inches wide and just over 34-inches tall. Being a little bit bigger, this model can store more wine–up to 36 standard sized bottles. This unit is also dual zoned, with each zone having a generous temperature range of 40 to 65° F. The French doors add a touch of style to an already sleek looking unit. In a combination of flair and functionality, it also comes with matching stainless-steel-trimmed wooden shelving which can slide out, making the management of your wine collections simpler than ever.

It has roughly the same dimensions as the dual-zone French door model (see above), but due to it being a single zone unit, can store a lot more of your wine collection. This EdgeStar wine fridge can fit up to 53 standard sized wine bottles, which is perfect for an avid collector or a budding enthusiast. The front ventilation allows you to use this unit as a built-in or freestanding model, and the cool, steel trim makes it an easy addition to nearly any modern kitchen. The soft, blue interior LED lighting and tinted glass door help complete the sleek look this unit sports. But this model is more than a pretty face; its cooling is powerful and compressor based, it has an auto-defrost feature, and internal fan to help evenly circulate air. It also comes with a security lock to help keep unwanted, prying fingers from messing with your collection. Click here to read the reviews for this wine cooler. 4. The Tower of Wine If you’re a serious wine collector or aficionado, this EdgeStar unit might just be your dream wine cooler. While the width is still slim, just under 23-and-a-half inches, this unit is quite a bit taller than the others. At almost 6 feet tall, this wine cooler will tower over most appliances in your kitchen. But despite the height, it shouldn’t be too hard to place this cooler, since it does come with a reversible door, allowing you to pick whether you want it or swing left or right. Although this model is a single-zone unit, it still has an impressive temperature range of 40-65° F. And of course, with all that height comes a lot of room. This wine cooler can hold as many as 166 standard sized wine bottles using fashionably designed wood-trimmed wire racks. Whether you want to merely show off your impressive wine cache in your kitchen by displaying your 150 favorite bottles or simply store the entirety of your collection in a space where you friends and family can readily stand awestruck, this wine cooler is possibly the ultimate in home storage.

Class and Wine While there’s no law out there that prohibits you from storing miscellaneous beverages in your wine cooler, you’re certainly not going to impress your wine-loving guests by showing off your massive collection of soft drinks in your refrigeration unit that is specifically built to hold and cool wine. Well, lucky for those who truly believe variety to be the spice of life, there is this EdgeStar wine and beverage cooler that can do it all. Sporting a beautiful French door design with tempered glass and a stainless steel trim, this beverage cooler can easily accommodate nearly any type of bottle and can. This is in large part due to the shelving offered. The right side of the unit can hold as many as 60 standard sized cans and features five wooden shelves ideal for storing them, while the left contains three metal shelves with wooden trimmed fronts that can store up to 17 standard size wine bottles. Of course all the shelving can slide out allowing for ease of storage and organization. Click here to read the reviews for this wine cooler. Just Do It Whatever route your kitchen remodel takes, you can be sure that a new wine cooler will be a welcome addition. Due to the plethora of options on the market today it’s almost impossible not to find something that appeals to you.
