We also put in a wine fridge. Make sure that you get one that is intended to be built in (front vented), and that you have enough clearance in the back for the plug to be plugged in.

But when I saw the label, l wish I had done a panel. Also... Wine fridges typically do not hold as many bottles as the marketing indicates as bottles come in many sizes. Larger bottles take up more room, reducing capacity a bit.<br /><br />teaorwinehttp://teaorwine.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-16872706453507466602020-07-05T14:02:35.985-04:002020-07-05T14:02:35.985-04:00Sorry - the comment below was intended as a reply ...Sorry - the comment below was intended as a reply to you.Beth Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443450944645563476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-90778092148322851642020-07-05T14:01:46.916-04:002020-07-05T14:01:46.916-04:00I don't want a panel - there are some 30 inch ...I don't want a panel - there are some 30 inch wide that will fit perfectly - I was looking at Allavino earlier.

Look at a Uline, if you are not using a panel on it but leaving it stainless this is what I would purchase and probably will when my current one goes. Much trickier and expensive if you want to do a custom panel. Then I would recommend a Perlick.LMoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01158814293425586091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-2590475951784366892020-07-05T13:57:28.598-04:002020-07-05T13:57:28.598-04:00I think I can do a 30 inch wide which will fit per...I think I can do a 30 inch wide which will fit perfectly and hold 70 wine bottles or a side by side wine cooler and bevarage cooler.

Cutting into cabinetry would be easier if you were so that any oopsies or filler kind of material needed for the fridge to fit the space could be addressed. It might be easier, too, if you dedicated the whole cabinet run to be wine/special beverage storage for the same reason. As for brands, as above research will needed but the easiest might be to assess what you have now.Do you like it? Then why not replicate what you know?<br /><br />Thinking outside the original idea, I would take a serious look at reconfiguring the fridge/freezer. Do you like the ice/water in the door? (I hated mine and couldn't wait to get rid of it!) Could you move the freezer to the garage? If so, you could look at tall wine storage in that area and no cabinetry issues would have to be involved. What Ballard chandy is coming home to your kitchen?
