“The wine fridge, ice maker, and adjustable fridge or freezer are outstanding. They fit perfectly in our dining room and look very elegant with the wood-like doors. They work great and are very quiet. They hold more wine than was expected. I would highly recommend this appliance!”

One of the main issues with storing wine in a refrigerator is that users can’t control temperature settings for more than one variety of wine.

This built-in wine fridge will spoil your collection with storage for up to 46 bottles on carefully crafted wine racks that cradle each bottle, while a temperature alarm and Wi-Fi compatibility keep you on the pulse of your collection’s climate settings to ensure a perfectly chill pour every time.

⭐Featured Cafe CCP06DP2PS1 Review:

“The wine fridge holds large and smaller bottles of wine. The top rack is perfect for champagne/prosecco, while my other wines fit nicely on the next level. The bottom shelf is shallow but works perfectly for liqueurs. The racks are very sturdy and slide in/out easily.”

“This is my third Electrolux wine fridge; the first two are in my old home. Before purchasing my old units, I conducted extensive research and settled on Electrolux; the first one was so good I bought another. I love the look, the quality, the silent operation, and the walnut shelving. It's a classic touch. I am a fan of the Electrolux wind fridge, as it is 100% belt-fed, which is fantastic.”
