Avanti EWC1201 vs Kalamera KRC-46DZB-TGD

This cooler can hold a total of 12 bottles of wine, certainly enough for casual wine drinkers or for those who are just starting their wine collection. Eight of the bottles are stored horizontally while 4 can be placed vertically. This allows unfinished bottles to be placed back in the fridge for storage - convenient if you don’t want to finish the bottle in one evening.

This wine chiller will easily fit in the under-counter space because it's so narrow, even despite being quite spacious (12-bottle capacity). It also looks great: the black finish with the tinted curved door not only protects the wine from UV rays but also gives it a stylish, modern look.

Instead of using a traditional compressor for cooling, this wine cooler uses a thermoelectric cooling system which vibrates less, runs more efficiently, and is quieter.

This wine chiller has digital controls, so you can set a specific temperature inside. This is very useful for storing delicate wines, such as rose wines that are advised to be stored in a narrow 51 – 53º F range.

Some wines have harmless, yet often unpleasant sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Vibration-less thermoelectric cooler like this one makes sure that the bottle stays still and the dreg doesn't surface and get into your glass.

Although the wine cooler uses a compressor which tends to be noisy, this isn’t the case with this wine cooler. It’s very quiet and can hardly be heard, especially when it’s built in.

Most large wine coolers are tall, which can be difficult to find space for. This unit is wider, not taller, which makes it easier to fit under countertops and bar tops where horizontal space is less of an issue.

This cooler's glass is a dual-pane tinted glass that doesn’t let UV light through.

The cabinet is made from stainless steel, while the shelving is made from beech wood. Wooden shelves don’t scratch the bottles as much as metal shelves and are more appealing to the eye.
