# Best wine fridges with locks Source: https://corkandchill.co.uk/best/best-wine-fridges-with-locks 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 A lock on a wine or drinks fridge is about keeping the wrong hands off the contents: children at home, housemates in a shared kitchen, or colleagues in an office. Most locks are a simple key in the door, which slows people down rather than stopping a determined adult, but that is usually all that is needed. Beyond the lock, the usual questions apply. Do you need a wine cabinet that holds a steady storage temperature, or a drinks fridge that runs colder for beer and cans? Will it sit on the floor, under a worktop or on a table? This guide compares wine and drinks coolers whose listings state a lock, by type, capacity, temperature range and cooling method. ## Products ### 1.
