Frequently Asked
Questions
Everything you need to know before choosing a wine cooler.
What is the difference between a wine cooler and a regular refrigerator?
+
A wine cooler maintains a stable temperature range of 6–18°C with controlled humidity, minimal vibration and UV-protected glass. Standard refrigerators run at 2–4°C, have high vibration levels and low humidity — all damaging to wine over time.
What temperature should I store red wine at?
+
Light reds (Pinot Noir, Beaujolais) store best at 12–14°C. Full-bodied reds (Cabernet Sauvignon, Barolo) at 16–18°C. For long-term ageing, a consistent 14°C suits most red varieties.
What is a dual-zone wine cooler?
+
A dual-zone wine cooler has two independently controlled temperature compartments. You can set the upper zone for whites (6–10°C) and the lower for reds (14–18°C), or use one zone for serving temperature and the other for long-term storage.
What does "fully integrated" mean?
+
A fully integrated wine cooler is designed to sit flush within cabinetry and accept a furniture door panel matching your kitchen. It uses front ventilation so no air clearance is needed on the sides or rear. The result is a seamless, built-in appearance.
How loud is a Dunavox wine cooler?
+
Dunavox models operate at 35–42 dB depending on the series — quieter than a typical conversation (60 dB) and comparable to a library. The inverter compressor and low-vibration engineering are specifically designed for open-plan living spaces.
Can I install a freestanding wine cooler under a counter?
+
No. Freestanding models require ventilation clearance on all sides and the rear. Installing one in an enclosed space restricts airflow and will damage the compressor. Only undercounter or fully integrated models are designed for enclosed installation.
How do I clean a wine cooler?
+
Empty the unit and turn it off. Wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent — never use abrasive cleaners or bleach. Remove wooden shelves and wash separately. The exterior stainless finish should be wiped with a dry microfibre cloth in the direction of the grain.
What is the warranty on Dunavox wine coolers?
+
All Dunavox wine coolers come with a minimum 2-year manufacturer warranty covering parts and labour. Extended warranty options are available — contact us for details.
Do Dunavox coolers work with a smartphone app?
+
WiFi-enabled models (Prime, Glance series and others) connect to the Dunavox smart app available on iOS and Android. You can monitor and adjust temperature, set alarms and receive service notifications remotely.
