Thermoelectric Wine Coolers work differently to other wine coolers because they don't have a compressor. This means they are quieter and vibration free although they are not quite as cold. This model can be set to between 12°C and 18°C which is ideal for storing both red and white wine to preserve flavour and prevent premature ageing. When you are ready to drink your wine you should observe the recommended serving temperature, which might mean transferring to a colder fridge. If you are after a wine cooler that stores wine at a colder serving temperature, please look at our non-thermoelectric Cookology wine and beverage coolers. Cookology has designed this Thermoelectric wine cooler to be efficient, attractive and quiet and is guaranteed for 1 year. The CW18BK holds 18 standard bottles of wine and will store them at a temperature between 12°C-18°C. The cabinet itself has touch controls that operate the temperature settings and the light, so when you have guests coming you can turn the lights in your kitchen down and set the mood by bathing your bottles in LED lighting to give your kitchen a touch of class. The compact design makes this model ideal for compact kitchens where space comes at a premium.
