Rank #7 in Best Wine Fridge 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why Bottle Counts Lie
12-Bottle Wine Cooler with Triple-Layer Glass Door
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The WIE 12 Bottle Wine Cooler Fridge takes seventh place in this guide. It is a black freestanding wine cabinet with a mirror-finish triple-layer glass door, five removable metal shelves, a digital touch panel and an LED display, listed at £149.99 with a 4.3 rating from 493 ratings. It measures 252W × 507D × 615H mm, weighs 11.7 kg and is quoted at under 26dB.
On this one the bottle number survives contact with the rest of the listing: the name and the first bullet both say up to 12 standard 750ml bottles, which is not something every cabinet in this category manages. The temperature does not hold up the same way. The name gives 5–18°C and the second bullet gives 8–18°C, so the cold end moves three degrees depending on which line you read. The same listing carries a 34-litre freezer capacity while "Has Convertible Freezer" is listed as No, and a moulded 2-pin BS 4573 shaver plug rather than a standard three-pin one. Every figure on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from testing of our own.

Questions people ask
How many bottles does the WIE 12 Bottle Wine Cooler hold?
The product name and the first bullet both say up to 12 standard 750ml bottles, and that is the one capacity claim in the listing where the two agree.
What temperature does the WIE wine cooler run at?
The name says 5–18°C and the second bullet says 8–18°C, so the listing gives two different starting points for the cold end.
Can the WIE 12 Bottle Wine Cooler be built in?
The fourth bullet says it suits freestanding and built-in installation, but the Installation Type field lists Freestanding only.
How loud is the WIE wine fridge?
The listing states under 26dB and says that makes it suitable for bedrooms, home offices and studies.
What plug does the WIE wine cooler come with?
A moulded 2-pin BS 4573 shaver plug, as listed — worth checking before ordering, since that is not the usual three-pin plug.
Does the WIE wine fridge have a freezer?
The listing carries a 34-litre freezer capacity figure, but "Has Convertible Freezer" is listed as No.
