More from this brandAll NutriChef freestanding wine cellarsOverview
NutriChef's PKCWCDS278.5 is a taller, 27-bottle sibling to the brand's 24-bottle wine fridge, with the same dual-zone 41F to 64F range but a deeper 43 x 11 x 26 inch cabinet.
The extra depth, close to two feet, lets bottles load head-to-toe efficiently in a narrow floor footprint, and the upper zone runs smaller than the lower one, useful since most households drink more of one wine type than the other.
- 27 bottle dual-zone capacity
- 41F to 64F independent zone range
- 43 x 11 x 26 inch cabinet, nearly 2 ft deep
- Digital touch control with lock
Who it's for
Wine collectors with floor space for a tall, slim freestanding unit who want more capacity than the 24-bottle model. It is a weaker fit for anyone who wants trouble-free doors and locks straight out of the box.
Pros and cons
- Dual zones work well for storing reds and whites separately
- Deep cabinet loads bottles head-to-toe efficiently
- Slim, tall footprint suits a bar area
Performance notes
The cabinet holds bottles horizontally across two independently sealed zones, with the upper zone sized smaller than the lower one.
