Why opt for a free-standing wine fridge?

Are you a wine lover looking for a wine fridge? Choose a free-standing wine fridge! Not only is it easy to use and highly adaptable, it also adds a decorative element to any living space. From ergonomics through to colors, installation, storage and maintenance, discover its many benefits.

Why opt for a free-standing wine fridge?

Free-standing, built-in or integrated wine fridges: what are the differences ?

A must-have for all wine lovers, the wine fridge makes it easy to store and age your bottles. Wine fridges come in a variety of formats: free-standing, built-in or integrated. Free-standing wine fridges are characterized by their ease of use and versatility. So, what are their benefits? What makes them stand out? Goguette offers some advice.

In the world of wine fridges, there are three different types :

  • Built-in wine fridges: these can be easily fitted under a countertop, or in a space between two kitchen units. They tend to be small wine fridges.

  • Integrated wine fridges: like ovens, integrated wine fridges can be inserted between two units, but have a greater storage capacity than a built-in wine fridge, as well as increased height. Also known as “insertable wine fridges”, they sit perfectly alongside a refrigerator, for example.

  • Free-standing wine fridges: these offer the greatest freedom, since they can be placed anywhere with a stable surface.

Fast and easy maintenance

As with its installation, maintenance of a free-standing wine fridge is quick and straightforward. Remember to clean the outside of your wine fridge once a week with a soft cloth or one slightly dampened with lukewarm water. Be careful not to use solvents or abrasive agents that could damage your wine fridge..

Clean your wine fridge thoroughly once a year, making sure to unplug it and to clean the ventilation grille.

Another advantage of the free-standing wine fridge is that its self-contained design means that, if necessary, it can be moved (with care), making maintenance even more convenient.
