The Best Small Wine Coolers List for 2022

Small Wine Coolers, or Wine Fridges are required everywhere. Whether you have a large wine room cellar or a wine display, small wine coolers carry between six to twenty five bottles perfect to fit on a table top, inside a console, with the minibar in your bed room or just in the living room maybe next to a bar.

The benefits of small wine coolers is for keeping wine bottles handy you want to consume during the week or month. If you have weekend get togethers, how nice! to have ready bottles in a stylish cooler and avoiding to get wine from grocery store. You may be faced with non-availability of your preferred brands and its too much of a lotto of it.

Lets clear some important facts of compact wine coolers, really small wine coolers here,

1. Thermoelectric – needs 30*C ambient no more. Most coolers from six to twenty bottles even thirty depend on thermo-electric system and do not have a compressor. They are meant for where you live, like your pet dog. Will you keep your pet in warm room? Well similarly the small wine cooler needs 25*C to 30*C at most to be able to maintain a temperature between 11*C to 18*C. Lesser your ambient temperature, lower the wine cabinet temperature.
2. Free Standing – do not enclose. Small wine coolers are meant as table top units or in well ventilated spaces. You cannot place them in a closed cabin where heat increases over 30*C. Give it air to breathe.
3. Single Temperature. 12 to 20 bottles cannot have a two zone, they are way too small in size for that. If you want a double zone, then you need over 30 bottles to 50 bottles.
4. Small doesn’t mean cheap. Good wine coolers are built on good technology. The basic cost of wine cooler is based out of its technology, and built. Adding two or three more levels (such as 12 bottles adding 6 more will add bottle racks, but the technology of cooling price remains same), doesnt mean the basic unit will be really cheap by bottles capacity. If a 24 bottle unit is Rs. 75,000 then 12 bottle is not Rs. 37500. It’s not by the bottle. Its by technology. Thus if you have space, always go for more bottle capacity. Use less bottles, but own the space.
5. Why are some wine coolers cheaper and some more expensive even with same bottle size? As we advised wine coolers are adjudged by many functions than only bottle capacity. This includes (+) advanced cooling technology (+) Anti Vibration and UV Filtration system (+) Quality of material and finishing, display and visuals (+) Design of the wine cooler (+) Style of Wine Racks inside – wooden, steel, plastic (+) Sliding or static racks (+) Sound reduction system, and ofcourse brand name that stands for guarantee that your product wont be obsolete as the company was not profitable and shut the model or doesnt offer spares anymore. Hey! without spares, your wine cooler life will end in just few years.

We always recommend to go with a well known brand of international wine coolers that is time and function tested in multi climate, and avoid becoming a guinea piggy.

Isn’t there wine coolers made locally at lower cost? This is a question sometimes asked by few. There are, and you can find them. But we offer established international brand, where products are engineered by internal designers after thorough R&D, where cooling technology is designed and patented. Each company has a unique technology and USP, that is protects. It would be some world where you could just copy and make it cheaper. Someone could make a cosmetic copy but its not the real thing, Just because celebrity doubles look like the celeb, they cant really become the original. That’s it.
