NutriChef PKCWC280.6 Wine Fridge 28 Bottle

Overview

The NutriChef 28-bottle wine fridge is a freestanding, single-zone cooler that holds one temperature setting between 41 and 64 degrees Fahrenheit across its whole cabinet, sized at 33 x 16 x 17 inches for a floor, counter or table placement.

Because it is single zone, every bottle inside sits at the same temperature, so it suits someone storing one type of wine, all reds or all whites, rather than a mixed collection meant to be served at different temperatures. The glass door has an airtight seal and chrome racks, and controls run through a digital touch panel rather than a dial.

• Holds 28 standard bottles (up to 79.29 liters)
• Single zone, 41F to 64F range
• 33 x 16 x 17 inch freestanding cabinet
• Digital touch control panel with interior light

Who it's for

Works for a home or office that wants a dedicated wine fridge in a compact freestanding footprint and does not need to hold reds and whites at separate temperatures at once. A household serving both wine types chilled differently would want a dual-zone model instead.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Temperature is set and held across the full 41 to 64 degree range through the digital touch panel, with NutriChef noting the design is meant to resist outside heat affecting the cabinet. Since it is single zone, the whole unit runs at one setting rather than splitting into separate compartments.
