The Best Drinks Fridges, Bottle Coolers & Wine Cabinets — Summer 2026.

The summer rush is coming. Make sure your bar and back-of-house refrigeration is ready for it.

A busy bar in summer puts serious demands on refrigeration. More covers, more rounds, a beer garden running flat out and a wine list that needs to be served at the right temperature throughout service. The equipment that gets you through that without breaking a sweat is a drinks fridge, bottle cooler or wine cabinet positioned exactly where you need it — behind the bar, in the restaurant, or at the point of service.

Here’s our current pick for bars and restaurants heading into the summer rush.

Best for beer gardens and busy bars

Blizzard LOWBAR1 Single Door Low Height Bar Bottle Cooler

At 840mm high the LOWBAR1 sits neatly under a bar counter without eating into working space. Black laminated exterior, double glazed door, 120 litre capacity, 13amp plug — it keeps bottles cold and accessible without taking up space you don’t have. Comes with a 3 year warranty. A reliable workhorse for any bar running high volume through the summer months.

Best compact wine cooler

Vestfrost WFG32 Dual Zone Wine Cabinet

New & graded available

Dual zone temperature control means red and white at the right temperature simultaneously — no compromise. At 493mm wide it fits into tight spaces without sacrificing capacity. A clean, professional finish that works as well front-of-house as it does behind the bar.

Best mid-size wine cabinet

Vestfrost WFG155 Upright Wine Cabinet

298 litre capacity, single zone, upright format — the WFG155 is the straightforward choice for a restaurant that wants its wine list properly stored and presented without a large footprint. Holds a serious volume of bottles and keeps the list at consistent serving temperature throughout service.

Best high-capacity wine storage

Infrico EVV200MX Upright Double Door Wine Cellar

For a restaurant or hotel with a serious wine list, the Infrico EVV200MX delivers 700 litres of dedicated wine storage in a professional cabinet built to last. Precision temperature control, quality construction and a premium finish that does justice to the bottles inside.

Best for a large bottle range

Infrico ZXS10 Upright Single Door Bottle Cooler

Discounted graded unit available

324 bottle capacity in an upright format — the ZXS10 is the right choice for a bar or restaurant that needs to keep a wide range of beers, soft drinks and mixers chilled and accessible throughout service. Also available as a discounted graded unit at a significant saving on new price.

Best for refrigeration flexibility

Sterling Pro and Blizzard undercounter range

For kitchens and bars that need a flexible undercounter solution — glass door, solid door, one, two or three door options — our Sterling Pro and Blizzard undercounter range covers every configuration.

A note on graded stock

Several of the units above are available as discounted graded stock — new or ex-display equipment with minor cosmetic imperfections, fully tested and covered by a warranty. If budget is a consideration this summer, graded is worth a look. Stock moves quickly — call 01379 641223 to check availability before ordering.
