Avanti EWC1201 vs Allavino VSWR172-2SSRN

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
