What is the difference between a refrigerator and a beverage center?
A beverage center is a cooler specifically designed to store cold drinks, such as soda or beer, and wine bottles. It is smaller than a traditional refrigerator, which saves space and energy. A refrigerator is designed to store food and drinks, and in large amounts.
How cold do beverage coolers get?
You can adjust the temperature in most beverage centers somewhere between 37 °F and 65 °F. Some models feature a dual zone, where two different temperatures can be set, one for the cans and one for the wine.
