Pros:
- Aesthetically, the Allavino AWR25-SRNC Wine Refrigerator looks remarkably elegant. The unit has a stainless steel, tinted glass door with a large curved handle to provide easy opening and closing of the door. The sides of the unit are finished in a sleek black color, so this wine refrigerator will look good even when used freestanding.
- The front venting design allows you to fit the unit into your kitchen for a truly seamless look. The unit has 4 levelling legs which help you attain exactly the right fit for your space. The dimensions of the unit are stated later in this review.
- The same high standard of design is still apparent when you open the door of the chiller as you see its black interior. Inside there are five hardwood slide-out shelves with elegant stainless steel fronts. The shelves use a quality ball-bearing mechanism to allow for smooth gliding and are able to slide fully out so you can access rear bottles.
- The five shelves can accommodate up to 27 standard Bordeaux bottles. However, the bottom shelf is deeper than the top four shelves so it can be used to store three larger diameter bottles or up to seven standard size bottles.
- Light up your wine collection with the Blue LED lighting. Each zone has its own light so you can illuminate each compartment individually per your preference.
- Control Panel – The refrigerators digital controls are located inside the chiller under the top two shelves. The user-friendly control panel allows you to set the temperature for both zones and control the LED lighting using the push-button controls.

Summary
The Allavino AWR25-SRNC Wine Refrigerator is a classy wine cooler which would suit those who are looking for a built-in unit which has modern style, good functionality and the versatility of dual zone cooling. With its width of just 15 inches, this unit can fit even in narrow kitchen cabinets.
The build quality of the appliance is high. The use of strong stainless steel and hardwood shelves make everything feel substantial and built to last. It is also very quiet for a compressor type wine chiller, which is an added plus.
