The Whynter WC-212BD dual temperature wine cooler, which operates on a thermoelectric system, lets you store and serve your favorite wines from two separate temperature zones. It features two sleek black dotted smoked-glass doors, which when one zone is accessed, the temperature of the other zone is left undisturbed. The light obscuring tint and dotted pattern of the glass doors provides added protection from UV rays that may also affect the consistency of a wine.
Many wine coolers may use a compressor to provide the cooling function, which generates vibrations that can easily disrupt the delicate sediments in fine wine. With the thermoelectric system, your wine is kept at the appropriate temperature without detrimental vibrations. The Whynter WC-212BD dual temperature wine cooler’s cooling system has no moving parts and is CFC-free, which means that you get a quiet, vibration-free, long-lasting, and ecologically safer storage for your collection.

Single zone units keep one consistent temperature throughout the cabinet. They’re ideal for storing one type of wine. Dual zone units provide two separate temperature-controlled sections so you can store reds and whites at their preferred temperatures at the same time.
Yes. Built in models can be used freestanding because they vent from the front. Just be sure you have enough room for proper airflow around the back and sides.
No. Freestanding units vent heat from the rear and need space around them. Enclosing them will trap heat and shorten the life of the unit.
Capacity is based on standard 750 ml Bordeaux style bottles. If you store larger or wider bottles, the total capacity will be lower.
Yes, but you may need to remove a shelf or adjust shelving to make room for oversized bottles like Champagne, Pinot Noir, or specialty blends.
Built-in units only need clearance at the front for ventilation. Freestanding units require at least 4 to 6″ of space at the back and sides so the compressor can breathe properly. For full details, see the installation manual.
Yes. Shelves can be removed or repositioned depending on the model. This lets you store larger bottles when needed.
For single zone units, a middle range around the low to mid 50s works for most wines. For dual zone models, the upper zone is typically set for reds in the mid to upper 50s and the lower zone for whites in the mid 40s to low 50s.
You can, though keep in mind the shelves are designed for wine bottles. Cans and other bottles may fit differently depending on size.
They run quietly. Like any refrigeration appliance, you’ll hear a low hum during compressor cycles, but it shouldn’t be disruptive.
Most units reach the set temperature within a few hours, though this can vary depending on ambient temperature, how often the door is opened, and how full the unit is.
Many models come with a reversible door, but not all. Check your specific model to confirm.
A small amount of moisture can be normal. If it becomes excessive, check that the door is sealing properly and that the room isn’t too humid.
