For wine connoisseurs, a wine refrigerator should be loaded with the advanced features that would protect their investment. After all, it would almost always contain rare varieties. However, for the casual drinker who would like a cup of chilled red or white wine would focus more on where to get a bargain rather than getting the latest. Danby understands this, which is why they rolled out several models that fall under the category of value or budget. There is the Danby Silhouette DWC512BLS that can hold 51 wine bottles and even has a dual temperature zones for different kinds of spirits. Another example of what can be considered as a value wine refrigerator is the Danby DWC612BLP Wine Cooler.

The DWC612BLP has a total volume of 11 cubic feet. It measures in at 23 x 58 x 25 inches (WHD) and has a capacity to hold 75 bottles. The DWC612BLP is a freestanding wine refrigerator, and not the built-in kind. It comes in a black and platinum door trim finish. The glass door is double-pane tempered glass. Unlike other models, the DWC612BLP does not have smoked or even tinted glass door but it does come with UV protection. However, you might want to keep it away from any direct light to protect the quality of your wines. You can also adjust the door to open either from the left or the right, a perfect solution for either left or right handed persons. A blue LED display allows you to see the temperature inside the DWC612BLP with a single glance. All of the cabinets are colored black and an interior display light showcases your wine collection. The racks are made from real wood that adds to the elegance of the whole unit. It can handle the weight while providing beauty at the same time.

One thing that you should know about the DWC612BLP is that it is not a quiet system. The compressor can be quite noisy. If you will keep this in the kitchen, it probably would not bother you at all. However, you might want to look elsewhere if you are looking for a wine refrigerator in the reading room or even the bedroom. You can set the temperature of the DWC612BLP between 6 degrees to 14 degrees. However, in case of a power surge, you will lose your previous temperature setting and it will revert to the factory default.

The Danby DWC612BLP does have a few flaws, though not all of them are deal breakers. All in all, the price of the Danby DWC612BLP makes it a solid choice for a wine refrigerator.
