# Best slim wine fridges for 30 and 40 cm gaps Source: https://corkandchill.co.uk/best/best-slim-wine-fridges Publisher: Cork and Chill. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://corkandchill.co.uk/how-we-pick Narrow wine fridges fill the awkward spaces that kitchen plans leave behind: a 30 cm gap beside the dishwasher, the end of a run, or a slot in a dining room alcove. The trade-off is capacity and sometimes cooling power, because a slim cabinet has less room for insulation and a compressor. Width is only the start. Height decides whether it goes under a worktop, and the venting decides whether it can be boxed in at all. Most slim freestanding units vent at the back and need a gap. This guide compares narrow coolers by stated width and height, bottle capacity, temperature range and cooling type, using only listing facts, and points out where a unit is too tall for a worktop or ships with a non-UK plug. ## Products ### 1. 12-Bottle Slimline Dual Zone Wine Cooler with Upright Bottle Storage-White & Red Chilled Wine Countertop Cooler Freestanding Compact Capacity: 12 bottles; Zones: 2; Temperature range: 5 to 18 °C; Cooling: Compressor; Shelves: Wavy chrome plus upright rack A slimline dual-zone cooler for 12 bottles with compressor cooling, removable racks that work in either zone and an upright rack for opened bottles. A tidy choice for a small kitchen. In its favour: - Compressor cooling reaches 5 °C, so the colder zone can hold sparkling wine. - Racks are removable and can be moved between the top and bottom zones. - Touch controls include a lock button so settings are not changed by accident. Good to know: - The listing does not state how the 12 bottles split between the two zones. - No dimensions, noise level or kWh figure are given. ### 2.
