12 Bottle Wine Coolers – Affordable Wine Storage for New Collectors
There are many serious wine enthusiasts, and wine collecting has become more and more popular. While it is common to automatically think of a wine enthusiast as a person with a huge wine cellar in his or her home, anyone who enjoys fine wine is an enthusiast, whether or not they have a cellar. If you are just starting to collect wine, it is very likely that you will not find it cost-effective or practical to build a wine room or wine cellar, but you will still need refrigerated wine storage for your fledgling collection.
The compact 12 bottle wine cooler is a great place to start in terms of storage. If you are just starting to build up a collection or want better temperature control than that provided by your kitchen refrigerator, the 12 bottle cooler is an affordable wine refrigeration solution for those who take wine drinking and collection seriously. It can be purchased at discount retailers for much less than the list price. Several companies manufacture this type of cooler.
