Allavino VSWR172-2SSRN

Top Pro

Great for serious collectors

The unit can hold up to 172 bottles. This should be enough even for serious wine collectors. Of course, the capacity may vary because some of the shelves allow you to store bigger bottles like champagne or oddly shaped wine bottles. See More

Top Con

Not the quietest unit

The ventilation of this unit is located at the front, so it’s louder than units with ventilation at the back. Still, it shouldn’t be louder than a standard refrigerator. See More

Top Pro

Can hold bottles of different shapes and sizes

The sturdy metal shelves are thin enough to get the maximum available storage space, yet strong enough to support the weight of many wine bottles. The shelves are designed in such a way that they can comfortably hold different shapes and sizes of bottles. They glide in and out smoothly using the ball-bearing tracks and feature stainless steel fronts and wooden slats for a sleek presentation. See More

Top Pro

Customizable handle

It comes with both a curved and a towel bar handle, so you can customize the unit to best suit your preferences. See More

Top Pro

Easy to program

The two independent-controlled cooling zones can be manually controlled. Alternatively, you can simply input the type of wine stored in the cooler and it will automatically adjust the temperatures in each zone to the most ideal ones. See More
