Allavino FlexCount 30 Bottle Dual Zone Right Hinge Wine Fridge VSWR30-2SSRN

Despite it's compact size, this handy wine cooler can store up to 30 bottles for convenient access in your kitchen or dining room. Each zone of this dual-zone wine refrigerator can be set low enough for sparkling wine or high enough for red wine, but the two zones must be set at least 4 and not more than 10 degrees apart.

Allavino is at the leading edge of shelf design, incorporating revolutionary metal shelves that are strong enough to hold bottles without sagging, yet thin enough to maximize the available space in the cabinet for wine storage. Wood slats refine each shelf and gently cradle each bottle to prevent harmful vibration from affecting your wine. Each shelf is finished with a stylish stainless steel front to match the door frame. Each of the shelves glide out smoothly on ball bearing tracks, so every bottle is easily accessible.

This unit is front-venting, and can be built in to your cabinetry for a seamless look. It also has finished sides and top, allowing you to use it as a freestanding unit that will look great in any room of your home. A built-in security lock protects your collection, and two keys are included so that you can always have a backup on hand.

This wine cellar has 6 shelves that can hold up to 5 bottles each for a maximum bottle capacity of 30 bottles. The maximum capacity is based on the standard Bordeaux size bottle.

This is the standard 750 mL bottle, which most wine refrigerators are configured around as it is the most popular size on the market. It measures 11-1/2" tall with a 2-15/16" diameter and the shoulder tapers up from 7-3/4" to 8-1/2". This wine refrigerator can easily store 5 of these bottles on each shelf for a total of 30 bottles.

This bottle is wider and shorter than the standard 750 mL bottle. It measures 10-5/8" tall with a 3-1/4" diameter and the shoulder tapers up from 5-1/2" to 8". Bottles this wide don't usually fit in undercounter wine refrigerators and if they do, they have issues with rubbing on the shelf above and scuffing your labels. This wine refrigerator has no issues with this type of bottle so your maximum capacity will not be affected if you have them in your collection.

This bottle is taller than the standard 750 mL bottle. It measures 12-1/16" tall with a 2-15/16" diameter and the shoulder tapers up from 8" to 9". The taller shoulder makes the bottles touch and pushes the outer bottles over the edge of the shelf. This is not a problem on the top shelf in each zone or the bottom shelf, but it does create an issue on the remaining three shelves. On those shelves, you can alternate 3 of these bottles in front with 2 standard 750 mL bottles in the back, allowing you to store up to 24 of these wine bottles without having to reconfigure the shelves or affecting the overall bottle capacity.

This bottle has the same diameter at the base, but the shoulder is wider. It measures 11-7/8" tall with a 2-15/16" diameter at the base and the shoulder tapers up from 7-1/2" to 8-1/4" with a 3-1/16" diameter. The wider shoulder pushes the outer bottles over the edge of the shelf. This is not a problem on the top shelf in each zone or the bottom shelf, but it does create an issue on the remaining three shelves. On those shelves, you can alternate 2 of these bottles in front with 3 standard 750 mL bottles in the back, allowing you to store up to 21 of these wine bottles without having to reconfigure the shelves or affecting the overall bottle capacity. Other 15" undercounter wine refrigerators would not fit these bottles without removing shelves.

Until now, you wouldn't dream of fitting a Pinot bottle in an undercounter built-in wine refrigerator without drastically reducing the overall capacity. It measures 11-5/8" tall with a whopping 3-1/2" diameter and the shoulder tapers up from 5-1/2" to 8-1/4". On this model, you can fit 8 pinot bottles without reducing the overall capacity or reconfiguring shelves. Three bottles fit on the bottom shelf, three more fit on the front of the top shelf in the lower zone and two more fit in the outer front grooves of the top shelf in the upper zone (the light does not allow a bottle with this diameter to fit in the center front groove of the top shelf, but another bottle of any type can fit there).

Champagne bottles are too big to fit on the upper shelves, but you can still store 2 on the bottom shelf without having to remove a shelf. They measures 12-1/4" tall with a 3-3/4" diameter and the shoulder tapers up from 5-1/2" to 7-3/4". Most wine refrigerators this size would not be able to store any Champagne bottles without removing a shelf.

Perhaps there are people out there that only drink one type of wine, all the time. Most wine connoisseurs with a diverse palate are going to have varying bottle sizes in their collection, so having the ability to store all those varying bottle sizes without having to reconfigure and reduce your storage makes this the wine refrigerator of choice.
