Why You'll Love This
Two Zones, Two Temperatures
Independent cooling systems mean each side runs its own temperature, from 0°C to 18°C, not the shared compromise of a typical dual-zone unit. A heater on the wine side holds warmer temps through winter.
110 Cans and 34 Bottles
The beer zone holds 110 standard cans across chromed slide-out shelves, while the wine zone fits 34 bottles on slide-out racks with rubber saddle positioning.
Shelving That Interchanges
Every shelf slides out on a telescopic rail and swaps between flat beer racks and cradle-style wine racks, so the split between cans and bottles changes as your stock does.
Condensation Under Control
Triple-glazed LOW E glass with a switchable heated-glass function stops fogging in humid conditions, at the cost of a small bump in running power when it's switched on.
Features
Independent Twin-Zone Cooling
Two completely separate refrigeration systems run the beer and wine sides, each adjustable from 0°C to 18°C in ambient up to 38°C, with a dedicated heater on the wine side for cooler months.
Digital Zone Controller
A single digital controller sets and displays both zones, so each side can be dialled to its own target temperature without guesswork.
Chromed and Wine-Cradle Shelving
Chromed flat slide-out shelves handle cans, and slide-out wine shelves use rubber saddles to hold bottles of different sizes securely, all height-adjustable on telescopic rails.
Lockable Doors, Reversed Hinges
One door hinges left, one hinges right, and both lock, so the fridge fits an under-bench run and stays secured in a shared space.

How it compares

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I set different temperatures on each side?
A: Yes. The two zones are fully independent, each adjustable from 0°C to 18°C, so the beer side can run colder than the wine side or vice versa.
Does the heated glass cost much to run?
A: The heater is switchable on and off from the control panel. Running cost with it off is about $182.49 a year (1.95 kWh/24hr), rising to 3.44 kWh/24hr when switched on for humid conditions.
Can this fridge go outside?
A: It's rated for indoor use and enclosed alfresco areas, not open-air exposure to direct sun or rain.
Can the shelves be swapped between beer and wine?
A: Yes. Both the flat beer shelves and the cradle-style wine shelves are interchangeable and height-adjustable on telescopic slides, so the split between cans and bottles can change over time.
What's the warranty and who handles a claim?
A: 2 years parts and labour as standard, extendable to 3 years total for $189. My Acre manages any claim directly so buyers aren't left chasing an overseas supplier.
What size opening do I need if I'm building it into cabinetry?
A: The fridge itself is 895W x 590D x 800H mm. Build the cavity to at least 915W x 640D x 810H mm to allow clearance and airflow, or leave it freestanding with no surrounding cabinetry at all.
