Slimline Wine Fridges
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a slimline wine fridge fit under my worktop?
Most slimline models are designed to fit under a standard 90cm worktop, but always check the exact cut-out dimensions before ordering cabinetry. The opening height required is typically 820–830mm, depth is usually 570–580mm, and width cut-outs for 30cm models are generally 300–310mm. These figures vary slightly between brands, so check the spec sheet for the specific model you're considering.
Single zone or dual zone in slimline?
The majority of slimline wine fridges are single zone — there simply isn't enough internal space to effectively partition two temperature areas at 30cm wide or narrower. A few 30cm dual zone models exist, but they're rarer and pricier. If dual zone is important to you, a 60cm model will give you more options. If you mainly drink one style, single zone at 30cm is perfectly sufficient.
What's the difference between a 150mm and a 300mm slimline wine fridge?
150mm (15cm) models are the narrowest option, holding around 7 bottles, and suit only the tightest gaps. 300mm (30cm) models are wider and hold 18–24 bottles, making them the more practical choice unless your space genuinely can't accommodate anything over 15cm.
Are slimline wine fridges available in stainless steel?
Yes. Most slimline ranges offer both black and stainless steel finishes, so you can match existing kitchen appliances either way.
Do slimline wine fridges need rear ventilation space?
No — both 150mm and 300mm slimline models use front ventilation, which is what allows them to be built flush into cabinetry without any clearance behind the unit.
How many bottles does a slimline wine fridge hold?
A 150mm model typically holds around 7 bottles, while a 300mm model holds 18–24 bottles depending on shelf configuration. Neither width comfortably supports dual zone cooling, so most slimline fridges are single zone.
