When it comes to wine collection, you want a balance between convenience and quality when it comes to storing and displaying your bottles. Luckily for you, convenience and quality come together with the BWR-33SD, an under-counter built-in wine fridge from Whynter. This single-zone wine storage system works well, with a powerful compressor system and an activated carbon filter.

FAQs
What is the difference between single zone and dual zone wine refrigerators?
Single zone units keep one consistent temperature throughout the cabinet. They’re ideal for storing one type of wine. Dual zone units provide two separate temperature-controlled sections so you can store reds and whites at their preferred temperatures at the same time.
Can I use a built in wine refrigerator as a freestanding unit?
Yes. Built in models can be used freestanding because they vent from the front. Just be sure you have enough room for proper airflow around the back and sides.
Can I use a freestanding model as a built in?
No. Freestanding units vent heat from the rear and need space around them. Enclosing them will trap heat and shorten the life of the unit.
How is bottle capacity measured?
Capacity is based on standard 750 ml Bordeaux style bottles. If you store larger or wider bottles, the total capacity will be lower.
Will larger bottles fit?
Yes, but you may need to remove a shelf or adjust shelving to make room for oversized bottles like Champagne, Pinot Noir, or specialty blends.
How much space do I need for ventilation?
Built-in units only need clearance at the front for ventilation. Freestanding units require at least 4 to 6″ of space at the back and sides so the compressor can breathe properly. For full details, see the installation manual.
Do the shelves come out?
Yes. Shelves can be removed or repositioned depending on the model. This lets you store larger bottles when needed.
What temperature should I set my wine refrigerator to?
For single zone units, a middle range around the low to mid 50s works for most wines. For dual zone models, the upper zone is typically set for reds in the mid to upper 50s and the lower zone for whites in the mid 40s to low 50s.
Can I store other beverages in my wine refrigerator?
You can, though keep in mind the shelves are designed for wine bottles. Cans and other bottles may fit differently depending on size.
Are Whynter wine refrigerators noisy?
They run quietly. Like any refrigeration appliance, you’ll hear a low hum during compressor cycles, but it shouldn’t be disruptive.
How long does it take to cool after first plugging in?
Most units reach the set temperature within a few hours, though this can vary depending on ambient temperature, how often the door is opened, and how full the unit is.
Can the door be reversed?
Many models come with a reversible door, but not all. Check your specific model to confirm.
What should I do if I see condensation inside?
A small amount of moisture can be normal. If it becomes excessive, check that the door is sealing properly and that the room isn’t too humid.
