Overview
This 18-bottle Wine Enthusiast cooler runs two independent zones, a top section for 8 bottles from 54-66 F and a bottom section for 10 bottles from 46-66 F, inside a slim 20.5-inch-wide freestanding cabinet with a touchscreen.
Solid-state cooling is pitched by the listing as 65% more efficient than the brand's prior models. The door glass is UV-protective, and an upright rack keeps opened bottles secure separately from the wavy chrome shelving used for the rest.
