This generic 12-bottle mini bar cooler is for hosts who want a small, tidy wine store for a home bar, dining area or kitchen corner without giving up much floor space. It stands out in our small wine fridge comparison for giving full exterior and interior measurements and a stated B energy class, which makes planning straightforward. It works best for people who drink reds and medium whites.

In its favour
- At 26 cm wide it takes very little floor or worktop space.
- Five waved shelves hold 12 standard bottles, rated to 11 kg per shelf.
- The listing gives clear outer and inner dimensions.
Good to know
- The body is described as thick plastic, so it is less sturdy than metal cabinets.
- An 11 °C floor is too warm to chill sparkling wine well.
Our take
Footprint and interior
The cabinet measures 65 cm high, 26 cm wide and 49.5 cm deep. Inside, the usable space is 52 cm high, 18 cm wide and 32.5 cm deep. Five waved shelves cradle up to 12 standard bottles, and each one is rated for a maximum of 11 kg.
An 18 cm internal width is fine for Bordeaux and Burgundy bottles, but chunky Champagne bottles may sit tightly, so measure one of your favourites before buying.
Settings and power
Temperature can be set from 11 to 18 °C on an LED display with touch controls. That band works for reds and most whites. If you serve sparkling wine very cold, you will still need the main fridge or an ice bucket.
The listing quotes a 220 to 240 volt, 50 Hz supply with a 70 W rating, so it is designed for UK mains. The cooling type is not named.
Build and placement
The body is thick plastic with a black finish and a tempered glass front. Built-in LED lights let you see the bottles without opening the door, which helps keep the temperature steady. Base pads keep it stable on a floor or counter. Give it room to breathe around the sides and back, since the listing does not give a clearance figure.
Weighed against the YuAiStore and the 12-bottle compressor fridge
The YuAiStore 12-bottle dual zone holds the same number of bottles, adds a compressor and two zones and reaches 5 °C, but publishes no dimensions. The 12-bottle compressor wine fridge also takes twelve bottles and reaches 8 °C, but gives no size or energy figure. For a known footprint on UK power, this 26 cm cooler is the more predictable buy.
Verdict
Pick this 26 cm wide 12-bottle cooler if you want a compact, UK-voltage cooler with clear measurements for reds and everyday whites. If you need two zones or colder settings for fizz, the YuAiStore 12-bottle dual zone is the better choice, and the 12-bottle compressor wine fridge suits buyers who want compressor cooling in one zone.
