Proper storage is an investment in the future enjoyment of your wines, and consistency is key. A steady temperature not only ensures wine is ready to serve, but protects your investment in your wine collection by maintaining quality and providing the right environment for proper aging.
This 48-Bottle capacity dual zone wine cellar is a built-in undercounter unit that blends in seamlessly with cabinetry. Separate temperature zones for red and white wine allow consumers to store a mixed collection all in one unit. A movable divider for Temperature Zone adjustment provides added flexibility. Because UV rays can harm wine, this unit features a see-through Anti-UV glass door to give wines the protection they need while also showing them off. The 5 glide-out racks provide organization and easy access to stores wines, and their stainable wood trim allows consumers to customize the look of this wine cellar.

Particularly in the summer months, or during family gatherings and holiday parties, a beverage center can provide much needed room to keep a steady supply of cold drinks. A designated space for soft drinks, juices, or mixers frees up space for groceries and essentials in the main refrigerator and reduces the need to open and close the refrigerator when only beverages are needed.
This 150-can beverage center is made to be installed underneath your kitchen counters, where the stainless steel frame blends in beautifully with your cabinetry. The Easy Touch Electronic Controls and white LED lighting offer simple operation, and the 3 glass shelves and 1 basket keep your cold drinks neatly compartmentalized and easily accessible. There is even room for upright storage of 12" tall bottles, so you can store a variety of beverage types.
These models add to Haier's family of undercounter products that currently includes a dual drawer undercounter refrigerator.
