About this deal

The condenser fan is designed to cool the condenser and condenser coil within the Baumatic wine cooler Close the door and the LED is all but invisible. However, being beside the control panel it shines right at you, making it difficult to see the thermostat knob. Thankfully, the LED can be switched off as it does nothing for showing off your wine through the smoked glass. The delivery team will only deliver. They unfortunately aren’t able to remove doors, doorframes or windows. It’s your responsibility to make sure there is a safe access passage for the appliance to be delivered.

Thermoelectric heat pumps are virtually silent since there are no moving parts. Heat is simply transferred from the inside of the cabinet to the outside of the thermoelectric plate. That, in turn, becomes hot so needs to be cooled with a fan, which makes a noise. There’s also an internal fan to circulate air, which makes noise too.White wines also have higher volumes of organic compounds, such as aldehydes and terpenes, which at lower temperatures can fill the head of the glass with the fruity aromas that can improve your wine drinking experience.

The delivery team will make every effort to protect your appliance and home from damage. It is your responsibility to move any ornaments etc. If you are also concerned about any damage to your floors, then it’s also your responsibility to put down a protective layer. White wines are best served at a temperature somewhere between 7-11°C, depending on the grape variety (or varieties) that the wine has been made from. The lower temperature helps accentuate the acidity, enhancing the freshness and crispness associated with a really good white. Wine fridges or wine coolers are specially designed refrigeration appliances used to keep wine stored at the ideal temperature prior to serving. But do you really need one? Keep the door shut as much as possible - especially when loading the fridge with a large amount of bottles or when first switching on the product. This is when the wine cooler will work hard to regulate the temperature inside the unit and therefore opening the door repeatedly will inevitably unsettle the cooling cycle.

Where is your wine cooler going to be located? This will help you choose between a freestanding, built-in or integrated wine cooler. You can read more about wine cooler types in the next section. Leaving budget aside for the moment, there are three key questions you need to answer to help decide which wine cooler will best suit your needs: The humidity in a fridge is also too low, which overtime can result in a dried out cork. Add to that the potential risk of strong odours from leftover food affecting your wine, and it becomes clear why it's really not an ideal solution for wine storage. On the other hand, if you serve reds too warm the alcohol in the wine will begin to dominate and overpower the wine's subtle fruit flavours. Contrary to popular belief and practice, room temperature is usually a little too warm for serving reds. It's actually better to serve them a little cooler, because as they warm in the glass they begin to release those excellent aromas.

And neither does it get very cold. The lowest temperature setting is a warm 12ºC, essentially limiting its wine-chilling abilities to reds. Okay, medium-bodied whites could be just about passable at this temperature, but 12ºC isn’t making the grade for white wine of any sort at Chez Stevenson. Red wine it is. If you are just using your wine cooler for storage – assuming it has the additional features required to safely enable this – then again a single-zone model will be fine. Dual-temperature zone

But only the most expensive wine coolers will have the full spread of features that control these elements. We test wine coolers on their temperature accuracy and stability, cooling power, humidity control, energy efficiency, ease of use and cleaning, and noise. The following models are some of the very best we've tested. The thermostat itself is a tiny rotary knob with markings for high and low. If you want a precise temperature you’ll need a fridge thermostat and some trial and error. However, we did find that on the high setting the BW28BL hit around 11-12ºC and 18-19ºC on the low. It was a fairly linear progression in between, so you could have a good guess. Wine coolers or wine fridges can be freestanding, built-in or integrated. Knowing where you want to put your wine fridge, and how much room you have, will help you choose between them.

Over a week-long period on this setting, it used 1.3kWh – or just shy of 20p at an average electricity cost of 15p/kWh. Over the year that would amount to just over a tenner. Good, but not much less than an A+ rated under-counter fridge with twice the capacity and much lower temperature. Of all the refrigeration appliances, costs of wine coolers varies the most, so there really is something to suit every budget. When deciding how much to pay, you should be guided by how expensive your wine collection is. UV-resistant glass doors: protective glass on the cooler doors will help to limit the damaging effects of UV rays on your wine. Ideally, you'll be able to install your wine cooler in a place that is out of the path of direct sunlight, but if that's not possible you definitely need to buy a cooler with this feature. It's possible to buy a wine cooler with a solid door, but they're not as widely available as windowed models.If you tend to just wash your steak down with a couple of glasses of any old plonk now and then, a wine cooler probably isn't for you. You will often find wine coolers with dual, and even triple-temperature zones, which allow you to store reds, whites and champagnes all at their unique serving temperatures.
