This is a right-hinge unit. Make sure its door swing is what you want for your space configuration.

Door handle. This wine cooler has a long door handle measuring at 17.7 inches or 45 cm. This stainless steel handle is the same height as the glass insert.

Security Lock. This Antarctic Star has a built-in universal hexagon bolt lock. The advantage of locking your cooler is to prevent any unwanted access to your wine collection.

In general, it is a good practice not to open and close the door unnecessarily. Why? Your wine collection appreciates consistent temperature and humidity. The less disturbance to its environment, the better for it.

antarctic-tern-flying

Fun note. The first time I learned the word “Antarctic” – I was three – according to my Grandpa Jack.

He had this print of an Antarctic tern in his library, taken in one of his expeditions. He said I wanted to know what it was, and that I repeated “Antarctic tern” a dozen time per day for weeks.

Two dozen years later, I had the good fortune of travelling to the southern ocean with Grandpa Jack to see this beautiful bird with dark red bill and unforgettable plumage.

Summary: This Antarctic Star 15-inch 28-bottle (view on Amazon) is a premium and beautiful wine cooler. It fits nicely in a narrow opening under any counter. It can also be installed as a free-standing unit – as it is beautifully finished on all sides.

antarctic-star-15-inch-28-bottle-built-in

This cooler has another exceptional feature – a full-length stainless steel door handle. This unit is a great choice for any 15-inch wide under-counter installation.

15-inch wide, 28-bottle, seamless stainless steel door frame, dual zone, under-counter built-in.
