10 Top Rated Freestanding Wine Cellars | Give a Free Standing Wine Cellar for Christmas
Why a Freestanding Wine Cellar?
If you are spending the money to buy expensive wines then you should have a wine cellar to protect your investments. Wine cellars keep control of the wines aging process by regulating the temperature of the wine. The temperature and the humidity need to be kept stable to allow the wine to preserve and age itself correctly and naturally. The wine should be kept cool, but not too cold. The ideal temperature is 52 degrees F. The wine needs to be kept in darkness to prevent the ultraviolet light and bright artificial light from creating premature aging. The wines should also be stored flat. This keeps the cork moist and stabilizes the natural sediments in the wine.The ideal location for a wine cellar is in a cool basement, but since most of us do not have that luxury, the next best solution is to purchase a freestanding cabinet style wine cellar. Freestanding wine cellars can range from $100 on up to $5000 for fine furniture wine cellars. Below you will fine the 10 top rated affordable freestanding wine cellars to keep your small collection of fine wines in an ideal aging environment. These types of wine cellars are also called wine coolers.
How to Properly Store Wine with a Freestanding Wine Cooler
#1 Whynter WC-211DZ 21 Bottle Dual Temperature Zone Wine Cooler
Stainless Steel Trimmed Glass Door with Black Cabinet
This is a very nice wine cellar at an affordable price. The best features of this Whynter Dual Temperature Zone Wine Cooler are its 2 cooling zones; one on top and one on the bottom. It has a full wine storage capacity of 21 bottles; 6 bottles in the top zone and 15 bottles in the bottom zone with vibration-free, quiet thermoelectric cooling. The thermoelectric system keeps your wine at accurate temperature and humidity level settings without damaging vibrations. This cooling system has no moving parts and is eco-friendly.The one thing that I do not like about this wine cellar cabinet is the limit of the temperature settings, however, it is not something that most people will care about, especially at such an affordable sale price. The lowest setting possible is 44 ºF which really is very good for a small wine cooler, but I like to keep champagne, and other fruity dessert wines at 35 ºF. This is such a minor flaw, most wine enthusist won't care.

#2 New EdgeStar 46 Btl Built-In Dual Zone Wine Cooler
The EdgeStar 46 Bottle Premium Built-In Dual Zone Wine Cooler (CWR460DZ) freestanding wine cellar stores up to 46 standard 750 mL wine bottles. It comes with a stainless steel trimmed, dual paned glass door, shelving, towel bar handle, and blue LED light.I like that this premium undercounter wine cellar has 2 individual, digitally controlled areas that were specifically designed to accommodate 2 different temperatures for 2 different types of wine at the same time. The upper zone holds 14 bottles of white wine at a temperature range between 41ºF and 54ºF while the lower zone stores 30 bottles of red wine between 54 ºF and 64ºF.

#6 12-Bottle Silent Wine Refrigerator
This freestanding unit is exactly what it says it is....a wine refrigerator, not a wine cellar. It has the convenience of fitting on the counter for a small spaced living area, but is not designed to be put into an enclosed unit, or under a cabinet. This wine refrigerator is more for the wine enthusiast than the wine connoisseur. The adjustable temperature range is : 50-66°F from an exterior digital touchscreen, but can only have one setting for one type of wine. There is a Thermopane glass door with stainless steel trim and recessed handle that does make it an attractive counter appliance.Click Here for Details and Customer Reviews:

#7 NewAir AW-181E 18 Bottle Wine Cooler
With Digital Temperature Readout
Whether you're the casual wine drinker or a wine enthusiast, the NewAir AW-181E will allow you to store 18 bottles of wine. This thermoelectric wine cooler has a sleek black cabinet and stainless steel trim giving it a contemporary look. This freestanding wine cellar has an accurate digital temperature control and is eco-friendly.As of today this is one of the best sellers online, but the unfortunate thing that I do not like about this best selling wine cabinet is that the temperature can not be regulated to accommodate different types of wine that need to be kept at different temperatures. I like it for an extra wine refrigerator under the home bar or in the home kitchen, but not as a temperature controlled wine cellar
