Allavino FlexCount 349 Bottle Three-Zone Side by Side Wine Fridge 3Z-VSWR7772-SST Review
NEW MODEL AVAILABLE:
The FlexCount Series 3Z-VSWR7772-SST Multi-Zone Wine Cellar Refrigerator from Allavino combines a single zone 177 bottle unit with a dual zone 172 bottle unit to give you elegant built-in or freestanding storage of up to 349 bottles.
It is loaded with innovative features like Allavino's revolutionary new metal shelving, which is designed to be strong enough to provide stability and prevent sagging, yet thin enough to allow more space between shelves than you will find in similarly sized wine coolers.
This extra space allows you to store larger bottles without sacrificing bottle capacity, making it perfect for anyone looking to store a diverse wine collection.
Each shelf has wood slats that effectively cradle your bottles to help prevent harmful vibration, as well as stylish stainless steel fronts that match the stainless steel frame glass doors.
The 3Z-VSWR7772-SST 's three zones can be individually controlled using digital displays with push-button controls, and "red", "white", and "sparkling" indicator lights allow you to confirm at a glance that your wines are being kept at their ideal temperatures.
349 Bottle Capacity with 3 Cooling Zones
The 3Z-VSWR7772-SST features 22 shelves that can hold up to 11 bottles each, 4 shelves that can hold up to 20 bottles each, and 1 shelf that can hold up to 27 bottles for a maximum bottle capacity of 349 bottles. The maximum capacity can be reached with many different bottle sizes and is only affected when adding in larger Pinot or Champagne bottles. Store both red and white wines with this dual zone unit, which features a digital display with easy-to-use push-button controls that allow you to easily adjust each zone's temperature.
Digital Display with Blue LED Interior Lighting
Each zone has it's own digital display with easy to use push button controls so setting and reading the display is a snap! Cool blue LED lighting beautifully elegantly illuminates your bottles while remaining cooler than standard bulbs, and can be turned on or off with the push of a button.
Innovative New Shelf Design
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.
Store More Bottle Sizes
The intelligent design of the shelves creates more space between each shelf, allowing you to store bottles with varying diameters without having to remove racks which would reduce your overall capacity.

This wine cellar has 22 shelves that can hold up to 11 bottles each, 4 shelves that can hold 20 bottles each, and 1 shelf that can hold up to 27 bottles for a maximum bottle capacity of 349 bottles. The maximum capacity can be reached with many different bottle sizes and is only affected when adding in larger Pinot or Champagne bottles, making this the ideal unit for diverse wine collections.
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 cellar has 22 shelves that can each hold up to 11 of these bottles, 4 shelves that can each hold up to 20 bottles, and 1 shelf that can hold up to 27 bottles for a maximum bottle capacity of 349 bottles
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 and top would normally wreak havoc on your wine storage because the necks would touch, making the overall length of the bottles too tall for most shelves or pushing the outside bottles out, causing them to hit the sides of the wine refrigerator. Generally, you would have to remove a shelf to accommodate these bottles, but with the extra space available on these shelves, they fit just fine and do not affect the overall capacity.
This bottle has the same diameter at the base, but the shoulder is wider, which would generally push it out of the grooves and make it rub on the shelf above. 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. Due to the smart spacing on these shelves, these bottles fit with room to spare, preventing rubbing and allowing the maximum bottle capacity to stay the same.
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 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 once again, your maximum capacity will not be affected if you have them in your collection.
Until now, you wouldn't dream of fitting a Pinot bottle in a wine refrigerator without removing wine racks and 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 6 Pinot Bottles on the bottom shelves, 11 bottles on the lowest spaced shelves and 20 bottles each on the upper spaced shelf and the top shelves for a total of 94 Pinot bottles without having to remove a rack. Even with 94 Pinot bottles, you still have a capacity of 314 bottles.
You can even store Champagne bottles without having to remove a wine rack! 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". This wine refrigerator will store 6 Champagne bottles on the bottom shelves and 8 on both the spaced shelves and top shelves for a total of 52 Champagne bottles and an overall capacity of 272 wine bottles.
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.
