The Subcold Viva16 is a 16-bottle compressor wine cooler at £159.99, rated 4.4 out of 5 from 345 Amazon ratings, and it sits at number four in this guide. The reason it is not higher is not a bad number — it is that the headline number survives the check. The title says 16 bottles, the second bullet says "16 Bottle Capacity" and 42L, and the two agree.

In a guide where the Cookology 54-bottle cooler describes 16 bottles upstairs and 30 downstairs in its own bullets, and the Klarstein Shiraz asks £64.27 more for four fewer bottles, a fridge whose count holds up is worth noting. The Viva16 has loose ends of its own, just not in the bottle count: the name calls it a tabletop, the first bullet calls it an "Under-counter Wine Fridge Cooler" and the specs list the form factor as "Stand Alone" — three different pictures of where it goes. The final bullet also trails off mid-word at "Full 1-Year Warran". Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as written; we have not tested this fridge ourselves.

## Questions people ask

**Does the Subcold Viva16 really hold 16 bottles?**

By its own listing, yes. The title says 16 bottles and the second bullet says "16 Bottle Capacity" with a 42L interior. This is the one fridge in the guide where the headline count and the spec sheet agree.

**Is the Subcold Viva16 a tabletop fridge or an under-counter one?**

The listing says all three. The product name calls it a tabletop, the first bullet calls it an "Under-counter Wine Fridge Cooler", and the specs give the form factor as "Stand Alone". At 430 x 450 x 565 mm, measure the space you have before ordering.

**What temperature can the Subcold Viva16 be set to?**

Between 3 and 18°C, using the adjustable digital thermostat described in the first bullet.

**How much does the Subcold Viva16 cost to run?**

The listing quotes 133kWh per year. That is the only running-cost figure given, so treat it as the manufacturer's number rather than a measured one.

**How noisy is the Subcold Viva16?**

The listing states a noise output of 39dB and calls it super low. The specs list a rotary scroll compressor, which is the part that makes the noise.

**Does the Subcold Viva16 lock, and what is the warranty?**

The fourth bullet lists a security lock with 2 keys supplied, and the specs give the lock type as key. The warranty sentence in the fifth bullet is cut off mid-word at "Full 1-Year Warran", so the listing does not actually state the full term.
