Wine Accessories - Wine Coolers

Not to be confused with wine cooler, the alcoholic beverage of the same name.

Wine coolers (any type of equipment used in the chilling or cooling of wine) may include:

  • Small table-top units that rapidly chill a single bottle. These can usefully achieve the desired wine-serving temperature, particularly in warmer climates. This style of wine cooler operates most appropriately for white, rosé or sparkling wines which are usually served chilled.
  • Larger refrigerator-style units that store dozens of bottles at selected temperatures. These are useful for those who do not have access to a wine cellar, as temperature and humidity conditions can be replicated. Most units allow the user to select the ideal temperature for wine, and some even have options to control two separate areas for different wines. Some units are controlled by a thermostat.
  • A simple, double-walled or otherwise insulated container that keeps a chilled bottle of wine cold is called a glacette.
