Rank #5 in Best Wine Fridge 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why Bottle Counts Lie
Klarstein Shiraz 18-Bottle Wine Cooler, White
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The KLARSTEIN Shiraz is a free-standing wine cooler in white, with a UV-tinted glass door, a stainless steel frame and LED lighting inside. Klarstein sells it as an 18-bottle, 50-litre cabinet with a single cooling zone, adjustable between 5 and 18 °C through a touch panel. It sits fifth in our guide to wine fridges, at £129.72, and it is the cheapest cabinet in that guide.
The number worth staring at here is not the bottle count but the price sitting next to it. The same Shiraz line also sells a black 14-bottle cabinet at £193.99, which makes the white 18-bottle model £64.27 cheaper while holding four more bottles. One figure on this page does not add up either: the star bars in the listing run 9, 4, 7, 15 and 65, which comes to 100 ratings, while the listing quotes 92 ratings. Everything below is taken from the Amazon listing for this product, not from testing we carried out.
