These fridges offer the best combination of storage, features, and price. We recommend the freestanding Wine Enthusiast Classic 80 Wine Cellar (which stores wine at one temperature) and the Wine Enthusiast Classic 70 Dual Zone Wine Cellar (which has two sections, for storing wine at different temperatures, and one less shelf). Proper storage will protect your bottles from the damaging effects of light, heat, temperature changes, and movement, so the wine will taste as deeply complex and aromatic as possible whenever you decide to pop open a bottle.

If you’re spending enough on wine that you want to protect your investment, you’re buying more bottles than you can drink in a month, or you want to age wines so their flavors evolve over time, a wine fridge is a worthy purchase.
