Review: CDA FWC152SS 7 Bottle Capacity Wine Cooler

Guest blog by Oliver.

If you’re looking for a stylish and compact way to store your favourite wine in your home, or to fill that 15cm wide gap in your kitchen, look no further than this slimline CDA wine cooler. With a modern stainless steel aesthetic, this appliance is the perfect addition to any kitchen design. Its all-black interior provides 6 integral supports which allow for up to seven 75cl bottles of wine to be stored in their ideal conditions, within its single temperature zone at any given time.

Keeping your wine in this CDA slimline cooler not only opens up more space in your fridge for other items, but means the wine itself is not tainted by the contents of your fridge, for example, cheeses and meats. To get the most out of your wine, keeping it in ideal conditions can really improve and maintain the quality and flavouring of the bottle and that is what this CDA cooler does brilliantly.

This stylishly built under-counter cooler comes with an easy to operate electronic temperature control panel, featuring a red LED digital display. It allows a broad range of temperatures to choose from depending on the contents, starting at 5°c and running up to 22°c. With the ability to operate at different temperatures in the cooler’s zones, you can store red, white and rose wines at the correct temperatures.

For best results we recommend the optimum temperatures for your wines as follows:-

  • White wines should be kept at a range between 7°c to 10°c
  • Red wines should be kept at a range between 10°c to 18°c
  • Rosé wines should be kept at a range between 7°c to 13°c

The slim, space-saving design makes it a great addition, especially to smaller kitchens that may not have the space to support a larger unit. For added flexibility the front panel glass door is fully reversible, allowing it to be worked into most kitchen spaces – an ideal feature if the hinge placement is an issue. A soft white light is used to fill the interior of the appliance, providing a warm ambiance in the kitchen.

The front panel is made from UV protected smoke toughened glass, meaning that your wine will be unaffected by exterior light sources such as sunlight, which can cause the flavour of the wine to be altered and degraded. Thanks to its temperature memory function, the CDA wine cooler is also able to remember which temperatures you’ve entered, saving you the hassle of having to re-enter information should you experience a power outage. The compressors are mounted as to not disturb the wine with vibrations which can also cause the wine discomfort, thereby altering the flavour.

CDA have not only been kind enough to supply you with a 2 year labour cover on the unit but also with FIVE years guarantee on the parts. You can rest easy with complete peace of mind knowing that your new appliance will be safe in the event of an unexpected breakdown.

With all these features, you can be safe in the knowledge that your favourite vino will be stored in premium conditions to keep the full flavour and life of each bottle, whether it is white, red or rosé. A wine cooler that works for all wines – I’ll drink to that!
