In contrast to a freestanding wine cooler, built In wine coolers are designed to be fitted into a cupboard or cabinet. This being said a built in unit can also be used as a freestanding wine cooler.
Built in wine coolers are designed to create the most ideal conditions for the storage of wine. With either a thermoelectric or compressor technology, they work to keep the wine at a constant, cool temperature ensuring your wine is preserved to it's fullest.
To ensure that the wine is stored as adequately as possible, wine coolers are often equipped with features such as humidity controls, special UV resistant glass doors, and charcoal filters. This helps to recreate the conditions of a traditional wine cellar, to keep your wine collections at the perfect temperature for storage, or for serving guests drinks as the host at a party.
You will also find built in wine coolers that are equipped with multiple temperature zones to allow for sufficient storage of many different wine types. We stock single zone, dual zone, and multiple zone wine coolers - ideal for storing red wine, rose wine, champagne, and white wine in one chiller.
For those concerned about energy ratings, we list the energy efficiency of each fridge on the product page.

A built in wine cooler has a ventilation grill at the front which allows cool air to flow into the unit which maintains its cooling function. Built in wine fridges are engineered to be ‘built’ into any counter, cabinet or space within your kitchen. They are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes to accommodate all sorts of cabinetry setups and can also be positioned independently if preferred. As built in wine cooler fans emit warm air from the front of the unit rather than the back, they can be installed into virtually any kitchen space.
+
-
Yes, as built in coolers are designed to dissipate heat from the front of the unit, they are therefore able to be used as a freestanding unit. Using a built in wine cooler as freestanding, you will have more freedom in terms of how compactly it can be placed. However, you can't use a freestanding wine fridge as a built-in one. Freestanding wine coolers are engineered to dissipate heat from the back and sides of the unit, so if they were to be enclosed under countertops or in close proximity to a wall, they run the risk of overheating and breaking.
+
-
We offer a wide selection of built in wine coolers that are designed to suit a range of different spaces, rooms, and bottle capacities. You will find wine coolers available from anything between 15cm wide to 60cm wide and capacities between 6 to 200+ bottles of wine. The most popular sized for built-in wine fridges are 300mm/30cm wide and 600mm/60cm wide.

-
Ensure there is enough room for the door to open properly and that no vents will be blocked. Then position the wine cooler in the prepared space. Plug it into the power source without switching it on. Then use a screwdriver to fasten your wine cooler’s mounting place to the back surface (if your unit has them). Next ensure that the cooler is level before letting the unit settle for 12-24 hours. Then you can turn on the unit for full enjoyment! Before installing any wine cooler, you should always consult with your model’s instruction manual.

Built in wine coolers are designed to blend seamlessly within the design and aesthetic of your kitchen. Providing you have adequate space, you could install your wine cooler underneath a kitchen counter in existing cabinetry unlike integrated wine coolers, built in wine coolers should be placed directly on the floor or can be built on platform. Additionally, you could opt for a slimline model to install alongside your cupboards and other appliances. With this being said, you will want to ensure that the cooler isn’t positioned in direct proximity to a washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher, as this will make the wine susceptible to vibrations which can harm the wine. They are also popular in a commercial setting, with the fridges built in underneath the bar area, perfect for large entertaining spaces.

-
Built-in and integrated wine coolers are very similar, in that they are all designed to be installed into cabinetry or a countertop, unlike freestanding units. Built-in wine coolers are designed to be installed into a pre-existing space in cabinetry or under a countertop. They are designed to blend in with the surrounding cabinetry. An integrated wine cooler is similar to built-in wine coolers, but they are designed to be even more seamlessly integrated into the surrounding cabinetry. They may have a slightly shallower depth too.
+
-
No. It is extremely important that the grill is left completely free of obstruction. This is because the grille is where cool air is drawn in and heat is dissipated. If blocked, the cabinet will not be able to adequately cool down and will, therefore, become susceptible to overheating.
+
-
Not every built in wine cooler will feature a reversible door, but the majority will. Reversible doors can be hinged from either side of the wine cooler, meaning they are guaranteed to seamlessly fit the design and layout of your kitchen.
+
-
Yes, built in wine coolers are designed with removable shelves, allowing you to fit different-sized bottles in them. This will enable you to store particularly large bottles of wine such as champagne or port. However, we recommend you check the individual model specifications to make sure they will definitely fit your bottles before making your purchase.
+
-
Unlike freestanding wine coolers, which require 10-20cm of space around each side, built in wine coolers only require 0.25cm of space on either side. This is to ensure that their door can be opened properly without obstruction.
Great wine storage solution- neat enough to be on show in our dining room- not noisey- fits plenty for our needs
Great communication with team when deciding/purchasing - and delivery team were professional
Great product at a competitive price. Delivery efficient and professional.
Very pleased with this very attractive wine cooler the only problem with it is that the bottles disappear out of it rather quickly.
Excellent service being kept in the picture from order to delivery. Thank you so much.
Love my wine cooler... So good to find a bottle of wine easily and clearly without having to hunt around the house. Philip was fabulous and really helped me with my purchase and the delivery drivers were really the best so the overall experience is a very positive one
The pre-purchase information provide by Philip via the help line was most helpful, as was the ability to see one fridge installed at a wine merchant. The delivery service was excellent: the crew sorted out the various installation challenges and did so with reassuring care. The fridge as such is the right choice for my needs (to let my wines age) and I am happy with look and quality. The only improvement would be the level of noise, which whilst not a big problem still exceeds a normal fridge and "has a presence".
I’m happy w the service level. Compared to an over 10k£ fire magic grill delivered last week, this is exceptional service. I wonder I can also buy wine from them 😆
I purchased this to replace a smaller old unit. I took advice from Phil at Expert Wine Storage asking lots of questions; he was helpful and friendly throughout and was never pushy. The size of this unit is very convenient and the design of the unit makes it suitable for placement in a garage or similar. The plain design makes good use of height and helps to keep cost down. The delivery team placed it just where I wanted it. It turned out that the delivery vehicle had a breakdown shortly after leaving the depot. Despite this the delivery guys were patient and took time to give me a great service with a smile. Delighted with the product and service.
My existing two zone wine fridge gave up the ghost. It was built into a cabinet in a very small wine store room - made for the previous fridge. So the requirements on size were very specific. Expert Wine Storage (Phillip) could not have been more helpful - looking up the size of my original fridge and recommending a model that would fit the space provided. A Dunavox dual zone. At no time did I feel I was being sold too - rather Phillip was trying to help and solve my problem.
We knew fitting and removal would be difficult so Phillip arranged a specialist installer who he briefed on the job. It was not the easiest install but it I now in place and I could not be more delighted. Throughout the help and communication was exemplary.
I can now comment on the Dunavox which is light years better than my previous fridge. The product quality is exceptional.
I could not recommend Expert Wine Storage more highly.
Excellent wine store
I am very pleased with the service and advice I received on my initial enquiry for the wine storage unit. Expert guidance helped me decide on the "La Sommeliere CTV249". Delivery was to time (to the minute!) and the unpacking placement and inspection went to plan. Please find the attached picture taken after the 'settling in' period and the initial stocking. Thank you to all involved.
Great design, looks perfect in the cellar and fantastic service
With temperatures reachng record highs I am so delighted that I have this temperature controlled storage for my wine - I dread to think how much damage would have been done otherwise. It is stylish, quiet and fits in perfectly. Excellent delivery and custmer service throughout. Really delighted.
First Class service and advice from Expert Wine Storage in helping me choose the right wine storage cabinets for my needs and a remarkably fine and competent delivery service. I purchased two La Sommeliere 121 bottle storage units to use in my small cellar as the old air conditioning unit had stopped working and replacements are no longer available. Following a call to EWS this was a great solution with rapid delivery and top class delivery and installation. The units are soooooo quiet, I should have done this years ago!!
Bought the cooler to be installed in an existing island unit in my kitchen. Great comms and delivery from the team at Expert Wine Storage. Cooler fitted a treat and works perfectly - absolutely silent. Looks fab too!
Fantastic service for our restaurant. The Expert Wine Storage provided us with the Swiss Cave wine fridge. Competitive prices, good customer service and professional delivery. Thank you.
