Buying advice: What to look for when buying a wine cooler?
A wine fridge ensures that your favourite wines are stored perfectly - whether for short-term temperature control or long-term storage. But with so many models and functions, the choice can quickly become confusing. This Klarstein buying guide will help you find the ideal wine cooler for your needs.
Capacity - How many bottles do you want to store?
Firstly, think about how many bottles of wine you want to store or chill regularly. For occasional drinkers, a small wine cooler with space for 6-20 bottles is sufficient. If you like to have a larger selection at home or if you collect bottles, you should choose an appliance with a capacity of 50 bottles or more. Also make sure that the bottles can be stored without crushing or stacking.
Climate zones - Which wine cooler is suitable for red and white wine?
One particularly important aspect is the number of temperature zones. A single-zone wine fridge is suitable if you only drink one type of wine (e.g. only red wine). Two-zone wine fridges, on the other hand, make it possible to store white and red wines at their respective optimum drinking temperatures at the same time. This is ideal for households who enjoy a mixed range of wines.
What types of wine refrigerators are there? - The right model for your kitchen
There are various types of wine fridges, which differ in terms of function and installation method:
- Two-zone wine fridge: Perfect for mixed wine lovers. Two separately adjustable cooling zones, for example for red and white wines.
- Built-in wine fridge: Fully integrated into the kitchen unit - ideal for a uniform kitchen design.
- Under-counter wine fridge: Fits under the worktop, often with front ventilation. A popular solution in modern kitchens.
- Free-standing wine refrigerator: Flexible placement, often with a larger capacity. Also suitable as a visual highlight in the living area.

How do I control the temperature range of my wine refrigerator?
Most wine refrigerators operate in a range of approx. 5 °C to 20 °C. It is important that the temperature can be set precisely and constantly - ideally via a digital display. Every degree counts, especially with high-quality wine, so that the flavour and maturing process are optimally preserved.
Storage conditions - How important are light, humidity and vibration?
UV-protected glass doors prevent sunlight from damaging the wine. A constant humidity of between 50 % and 80 % ensures that corks do not dry out. Low-noise and vibration-free compressors are also important, as vibrations can have a negative impact on the maturing process.
What energy efficiency and noise level should your wine cooler have?
As wine fridges usually run continuously, care should be taken to ensure low power consumption - ideally with energy efficiency class A or better. The volume is also important, especially for appliances in the living area. Models with quiet operation (below 40 dB) are preferable here.
Which design and features should you choose for your wine refrigerator?
Modern wine fridges from Klarstein offer wooden shelves, LED interior lighting and stylish stainless steel frames. Make sure that the shelves are extendable and can be adapted for larger bottles such as champagne if necessary. A child safety lock, door alarm and touch control panel further increase convenience.
