Wine Coolers

RDO’s selection of wine coolers makes for a perfect pairing for anyone who considers themselves a fan of wine. You can choose between freestanding or built-in and in a finish that will match the rest of your kitchen to keep the same stylish look. You also have the choice of picking a model with a handleless design.

If you are looking for a cooler that can take care of both red and white wines, then why not take a look at the models that have a dual temperature zone, so both can be stored at their ideal temperature.

If convenience is something you want to factor in, then it is worth considering models that have pull out shelves to make it easy to pick out a bottle. Or, if you are concerned about keeping your wine at its best, then keep in mind the models that feature a UV protected glass door.

Wine Cooler FAQ's

What is the ideal temperature for storing wine in a wine cooler?

The ideal temperature for storing red wine is between 12-18°C, while white wine is best stored between 8-12°C.

Can I store both red and white wines in the same wine cooler?

Yes, dual-zone wine coolers are designed to accommodate both red and white wines by providing separate temperature-controlled sections.

How does a thermoelectric wine cooler differ from a compressor-based cooler?

Thermoelectric wine coolers are quieter and more energy-efficient but are less effective at cooling in warmer ambient temperatures. Compressor-based coolers are more powerful but can be noisier.

How often should I clean my wine cooler?

It is advisable to clean the interior of your wine cooler at least once a month to prevent mould and odours.

Is it necessary to let the wine cooler stand after delivery?

Yes, it's recommended to let the wine cooler stand upright for at least 24 hours after delivery to ensure the cooling system stabilises.

Can I build a freestanding wine cooler into cabinetry?

Freestanding wine coolers are generally not designed for built-in use as they require adequate space for ventilation. Choose a built-in model if you wish to integrate it into cabinetry.

What is the significance of UV-resistant glass doors?

UV-resistant glass helps to protect your wine from harmful ultraviolet rays, which can affect the taste and longevity of the wine.

How much energy does a wine cooler use?

Energy usage varies by model and size, but wine coolers are generally more energy-efficient than standard refrigerators.

What's the best way to organise wines in a wine cooler?

It's generally best to organise wines by type, vintage, or frequency of use. Most importantly, make sure the labels are easily visible to minimise movement, which can disturb sediment.

Can I store opened bottles in my wine cooler?

Yes, you can store opened bottles, but it's best to consume them within 3–5 days. Some wine coolers come with special compartments for opened bottles.
