Top 10 Built in Wines
for December 2022

Kalamera's 24-inch wine cooler fridge is a nice option if you want an all-wooden fridge with some modern touches, but it's a bit expensive for what you get. The fridge is attractive and easy to install, and it held our room temperature wines just fine. The doors are nice and sturdy, and the glass is extra-thick, so it feels secure. The fridge has dual zones, and it's thermostatically controlled, so the temperature stays about 3 degrees above room temperature. The LED lights are a nice touch, and you can select different color themes, like blue, green, yellow, red, and white. The fridge has three shelves, and removable wooden shelves on either end. On the bottom, there's a half-width shelf perfect for a cutting board. The shelves have rubber stoppers to keep them from slipping. If you're looking for a cheap, all wood fridge with LED lights, you could do a lot worse. But if you're looking for a durable, modern, all-glass fridge that will hold up to 46 bottles, the Kalamera is your only choice.

The BODEGA 24-inch dual zone wine cooler is a classy-looking unit that cools both red and white wine. The shelves are sturdy, the LED lights are bright and the interior is quiet. The wine refrigerator's interior temperature adjustment is precise, and its digital temperature display is easy to read. The downside to its sleek design is that the door extends about 6 inches past the edge of the unit, which prevents you from placing large bottles on their sides (which is the only way to put them in this fridge). The fridge's ventilation design is good for keeping your bottles at the right temperature, but it's less than ideal for keeping your wine from drying out. The fridge's doors are sturdy, but they're not made for constant opening, and they may dent from repeated use. The fridge is quiet, but its fan isn't as quiet as some of the units in our test group, which slightly annoys us. The fridge's built-in design makes it a good candidate for use in kitchen cabinets, and the freestanding version is a very attractive addition to your home bar. Overall, the BODEGA is a competent wine cooler, but it's pricey, and it doesn't have as many high-tech features as the Editors' Choice winner.
