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.

Blemished Wine Cooler? Nope, it's perfect.

Although the wine cooler was sold as blemished it arrived in great condition and works perfectly. I could not find a blemish on it. Very happy with this purchase.

Great wine fridge

I got this for Christmas and I love it! It compliments the apartment well with its sleek design, blue LED light, and modern display. I had sent on the door when it arrived and customer service was very helpful in sending me a replacement door and the instructions step by step on how to change it over. Now I gotta talk my fiancé into letting me buy a humidor version!

Great Wine Fridge

Purchased this 28 bottle wine Fridge at Best Buy. Upon opening the box I noticed that the top Hinge cover was broken I took pictures of it and notified the NewAir customer servicer. Elizabeth was really great with Prompt replies back to me. Within a day she had a new replacement cover shipped to me. I would highly recommendd buying from New Air.

New air wine cooler

Just what I was looking for! Holds a lot more bottles than my original one that went out on me and I really love the look of the new air and the interior is phenomenal. I will recommend to all my friends to purchase a new air wine cooler.

Impossible to fit 28 bottles

This product is marketed as fitting 28 bottles. When the fridge arrived at my apartment, I had 25+ bottles of wine on hand. Just 1 was the size needed in order to squeeze 28 bottles into this fridge. After I removed two of the shelves and flipped a third shelf, I was able to squeeze in 14 bottles, with room for 3 more of these "normal" size bottles. The fridge seems to be working well and the adjustable legs are great for uneven floors, hence the additional star provided on the review.

Best little cooler for the money!

This unit works like a champ! At least it did until yesterday, when it died. You may be wondering why I'd give it 5 stars if it just died. Well, we bought it July 2010! Yep 2010. Worked like a champ for over 9 years. Now with that said, although it was the same model, it was a previous version. This new version I am rating we also own, we bough it in May 2019. I would give it 4 1/2 stars really, if they gave that option. So far it also works like a champ, it has not varied from the set temp by more than 1 degree, even in the hot southern summer. The reason for the 4 1/2 stars is the shelving. NOT an improvement. It is so hard to get even normal sized bottles in and out, but Pinot, Chard, or Syrah bottles... forget it! Otherwise, the look of it is nice, the controls are an improvement, and it is very quiet. If you are looking for long term storage (mostly cab bottles) and not constantly putting bottles in and taking bottles out, I would definitely recommend it - the temperature is very consistent. If the shelves are improved and easier to use we will most definitely buy again.

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.
