The Whynter BWR-1662SD 166-Bottle Wine Refrigerator is a large-capacity wine storage system designed for collections of up to 166 standard 750 ml wine bottles. With 15.1 cu. ft. of cabinet storage, the single-zone refrigerator provides dedicated temperature-controlled storage for larger wine collections and can be installed as either a built-in or freestanding unit.
The BWR-1662SD uses compressor cooling with internal fan-forced circulation to distribute air throughout the cabinet.

The refrigerator uses R600a refrigerant and has a stated noise level of <39 dBA.
The refrigerator features a tempered double-pane gray-smoked glass door with enhanced UV protection and a stainless steel trim. The reversible door provides installation flexibility, while the cylinder lock and two keys provide a way to secure the wine collection. An interior lighting strip with nine energy-efficient soft-white LED bulbs illuminates the cabinet.
Inside, the BWR-1662SD includes 16 removable wooden flat slide-out shelves along with a wire display shelf for showcasing bottles or storing opened bottles. The unit measures 23.5 inches wide, 69.75 inches high, and 26.5 inches deep, or 28.5 inches deep with the handle installed.
