Key Features

Stores up to 28 bottles of your favorite wine
  • Thermoelectric cooling system operates quietly with less vibration than a compressor unit
  • Double-paned glass door offers extra insulation and UV protection
  • Digital display makes it easy to monitor the interior temperature
  • Internal soft LED light illuminates your wine without adding extra heat
Store your wine at the perfect temperature with this NewAir wine cooler. This thermoelectric wine cooler can store up to 28 bottles of your favorite wine on its 6 chrome shelves that slide out for your convenience. This wine fridge features a thermoelectric cooling system, meaning it draws warm air out of your cooler instead of pumping cold refrigerant vapor in. It does not have a compressor and has fewer moving parts, which means quieter operation and less vibration, preventing sediment build up that could potentially affect the taste of your wine. The double-paned glass door provides insulation as well as UV protection to your bottles. This unit has a push button control panel with a digital thermostat, which allows you to quickly and easily set the wine cooler to an accurate temperature that you desire between 54 and 66 degrees Fahrenheit. The interior LED light softly illuminates your collection without adding the extra heat of incandescent bulbs.

Really Nice Cooler

When I redid my kitchen a few years ago, we bought this wine cooler to enhance the look. It looks great and we've received many compliments. Works well so far and is very quiet. We're happy with our purchase!

Excellent customer service

When you find a good company, the products are good, but the customer service is lacking. With Newair, you get both great products and excellent customer service. The Newair customer service team was very quick to respond to my questions and they offered helpful troubleshooting suggestions. I also appreciated the professional and polite tone in the way we conversed. Thank you Newair for standing behind your products.

Newair wine cooler

I have had this product for few years and it has kept our wine consistently cool at 55 degrees. The temperature does not fluctuate and it is quiet.

Newair Backs Up It's Products

After several years of owning my wine fridge the motor blew out. After several back and forth communications with Shanice in customer service I purchased a new electrical board for under $40 which I was able to replace myself. Now the fridge is working like new.

Extremely happy with my purchase

I bought the Newair AW-281E (28 bottle) fridge to replace a more expensive Vinotemp model that failed after several years. I was looking for a cooler to store both my red and white wines and I have been extremely happy with my purchase. One thing to note is this is a thermoelectric fridge - not a refrigerator - and so the temperature adjustments are limited from 54-66 degrees. This is great for storing and protecting your red and white wines, but white wines will still need to go into the refrigerator before serving. I did not want a dual-temperature wine refrigerator and so this Newair was perfect for my needs and is a great value. Some fridges can be noisy when running, but this unit is definitely quiet and fits my needs perfectly. I did have to contact customer support at one point and they were very responsive and extremely helpful. I definitely recommend this product.

Great when it's working

I've really liked my wine fridge. Unfortunately over the last year the set temperature of the cooler kept rising. Recently it died completely. After contacting new air a Customer Experience Expert helped me find the problem and is sending me a new part, with instructions to install. Fingers crossed that it works.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.

This item leaves our warehouse within 24 Hours

$49 Flat-Rate Shipping

Anything under $49 ships at one low price. If your order increases, your shipping stays the same!

30-Day Returns

Return all new, unused, and unassembled items in their original packaging, and we'll give you a full refund minus the cost of the original AND return shipping.

No Restocking Fee

Most companies charge a restocking fee. We just don't do business that way.
