Avanti 149 Bottle Dual Zone Wine Cooler

04/14/2018

We were out of storage and had cases of wine stacked in our basement. It was hard to tell what was what. So we got this cooler. It was easy to set up and it seems to be keeping the temperatures selected. I can hear it running occasionally but no more than any other refrigerator. My only complaint is that if the shelves were spaced just a little bit further apart it would fit every bottle made, I’m talking 1/2 inch more would be perfect. But, we are very pleased with this unit.

Overall I feel this wine cooler is very good value. I like the dual zone temperature but it is worth noting that they recommend you keep whites in the top and reds in the bottom. The warmest the top can be is 55 F while the coolest the bottom can be is 55 F. I have about 2/3 red and 1/3 white so I had planned to keep some reds in the top. I don't see this as a big deal at this point but something worth knowing as I didn't before I bought it. Great job by Beverage Factory. I received my product in 7 calendar days and in perfect condition. I would highly recommend purchasing from them.

It works very well for us. The temperature zones are split in the middle so it does half white and half red storage. Some of the bigger chardonney bottles are tight to fit in. It is in my kitchen and is not louder than my other appliances. For the price I think it is a good buy.

This has been a very good value for someone like me who is a casual drinker. Most bottles I purchase and plan on keeping are about $25 so I don't need anything too extravagant, and this Avanti seems to do the trick. I especially like the dual zone since my wife drinks whites exclusively and I am a red lover. We also keep a few champagne bottles on the bottom for entertaining. I only have one negative point which is the shelving doesn't adjust and some larger California Pinots don't fit in too well. If it weren't for that, I would have given it 5 stars.

I already have a cellar in my home but I wanted a place I could keep my nicer white wines in a cooler area. I don't quite have over 100 bottles of white so this dual zone fridge made sense for me because I could use half for the white wines I'm trying to hold on to for a long time and use the other half for keeping red wine closer to the kitchen so I don't have to go down to the cellar. It's attractive, looks good with other appliances I have, has an easy to use temperature display and the wood shelves don't scuff my labels. The unit doesn't make much noise which is good because it's in my dining room. I would recommend this unit to anyone trying to hold on to their white wines for longer than a few months.
