WINE COOLERS

I have been doing research on wine coolers. We are adding a built in hutch and want to include a small one for storing about 24 bottles. Question… which is better a thermoregulated system or a condensor style? Does any one know anything about the U-line Euchslen series drawer style, 2 zone? How does that compare to the Vinotemp 36 bottle (a mid cost range version). I could use some help here. Thanks!

these are the best coolers!

Bump.

Are you looking to have it built into an existing piece of furniture, or are you wanting to have a cooler built into the hutch, which is custom made?

One thing to be careful about is exhaust - you will need a front exhaust if you are installing it like a built-in. I’ve never heard of Euchslen, but I know Vinotemp is quite reliable. I have a LeCache 2400, as I needed mine to be a piece of furniture as well as functional, and they had beautiful cabinetry build around it.

Do you have a specific space pre-determined that a cooler needs to fit in, or will you build the hutch around the cooler you end up identifying?

When I saw the subject line I was so excited to see tasting notes.
