Would this work as a built in or is it a standalone wine chiller?

It can work as both. We have it built in and it looks great but would look equally as nice standalone.

This is a built in unit. It fits perfectly in a slot where there was a trash compacter, about 15 inches wide by countertop height.

We own this and it is built in...I would not reccomend it as a stand alone.

I did install and it works perfectly.....the bottom vent enables the in cabinet installation.

It could be installed as both. I built mine in for a more custom look. Works nice.

Dear Anjali,Yes this is a built in, I replaced a compactor with this cooler.

I have this and yes as long as you have the ability to do so externally of the unit. It only has one hook up so I have valves to balance the temp going into it.

That is certainly a great idea. You could also have chipped pieces of ice (from a blender) placed in the chiller to keep the wine chilled.

On this Classic Corkcicle, you cannot, but on the Air, you can. Corkcicle Air 4-in-1 Chiller, Aerator, Pourer, Stopper

I agree with the other respondents, the unit needs plenty of air circulation in order to keep the wine at the desired temp. An under the counter situation would be marginal.

this is a stand alone unit not meant for enclosure as it needs air circulation

It does work like a refrigerator with temperature to be set by the user. Normally wines are stored at around 50 - 60 degrees F. It should work in a 90 degree garage but you ought to check with the manufacturer or wine merchant about wine refrigerators in general just to make sure.

It doesn't chill the wine sufficiently by itself. It is meant to keep cold the already chilled wine after it is out of fridge to the table.

You don't have to keep the cooler cold. You chill the wine, then put it in the cooler and the cooler helps the bottle remain cold while you dine/party/etc.

I think thermo, but not sure. It is very quiet and stable. We keep white wine in it and it is chilled enough to drink. We have been very pleased. Takes about 24 hours to get to temperature when you turn it on.

also let me say the Mini Split compressor sit outside, the only other foreseeable problem I think you would have is that all refrig refrigeration / air conditioners havea drainage line.I'm sure that there is a simple solution to that problem. And being in the wine business for 25 years or more I know many people that use this system in the wine cellars.

I don't think so. It is a single zone. However, you can get a bit different temperature depending where you place the bottles inside. Place the reds on the upper and the whites at the lower trays where is a bit cooler. I love it. My wines are always at the desired temperature

It has a compressor. My 2 wine coolers are able to maintain a low of about 50 when the setting is on low. Cools fast. I have many of the expensive wines in these coolers and they have kept well. I also use one of them exclusively for the whites and they have kept cool. I keep both of mine at the low setting only because the medium gets the wines very cold. a half hour before opening transfer the whites to the regular refrigerator and serve. My oldest one is 7 or 8 years old and working good as new. Also consumes very little power at the low setting. Stacked creatively you can squeeze 18 bottles into it.

Yes. Although I purchased them as a self-contained wine rack, am currently using them as separates in a beverage frig. Makes a perfect side by side wine shelf adding flexibility to this small recreational frig.

There's 2 units in the wine cooler, and it sounds like one has stopped working. Make sure you have adequate ventilation for both sides. Each side generates lots of heat, and they need plenty of ventilation to work properly.

It can't be used as a built in. You need one that vents out the front for that.

I wouldn't recommend it, but you probably could if the unit was secured to a wall. This wine rack is meant as a stand alone piece, there are many others for sale that are built to be stackable
