Igloo 8-Bottle Wine Cooler Curtis

If you enjoy wine, you've probably had the experience of juggling bottles--trying to find a place to keep all of your wine chilled, especially if you're having a few guests over. The Igloo Wine Cooler (holds eight bottles) may provide a solution to that problem. It's not so large that it can take over your kitchen when you aren't looking, but not so small that you can't keep a good number of wine bottles at just the right temperature.

The Igloo Wine Cooler is designed to sit on a counter-top, but it can also fit in a few other nooks and crannies. When you're planning where you'll put the wine cooler, however, keep in mind that the manufacturer recommends that you have at least six-inches clearance behind this unit, and four inches on each side.

The controls on this wine cooler are simple: you have a button to control the interior light and two buttons--up and down--to control the temperature. The Igloo Wine Cooler stays within a degree or two of its set temperature in most cases. Some owners have reported that in really hot weather, with the air conditioning off, the Igloo wine cooler might reach as high as five degrees over the setting.
