Whynter BWR-281DZ 28-Bottle Dual Zone Wine Refrigerator
Whynter BWR-281DZ 28-Bottle Dual Zone Built-In Wine Refrigerator
The Whynter BWR-281DZ 28-Bottle Dual Zone Wine Refrigerator is a compact wine storage system designed to hold up to 28 standard 750 ml wine bottles. With 3.0 cu. ft. of cabinet storage, it provides two independently controlled temperature zones for storing different wine varietals in a compact 15-inch-wide cabinet.
The upper zone accommodates up to 10 bottles and adjusts from 40–55°F (5–13°C), while the lower zone accommodates up to 18 bottles and adjusts from 50–65°F (10–18°C). Each zone has its own adjustable thermostat, while fan-circulated compressor cooling distributes temperature throughout the cabinet.
Designed for built-in or freestanding installation, the BWR-281DZ features a black cabinet with a stainless steel-trimmed glass door and curved handlebar. The double-pane glass doors provide UV isolation and energy efficiency, while the reversible door swing and security lock provide additional installation flexibility and security.
The interior includes five removable slide-out wood-faced shelves, with each shelf accommodating up to five bottles and the bottom section accommodating three bottles. Soft white LED interior lighting offers Function and Showcase modes, while temperature memory, Sabbath mode, and open-door and malfunction warnings provide additional operating functions.
