A built-in fridge is made to be integrated into the kitchen, with its door aligned with the cabinets, while a freestanding fridge can be placed anywhere and remains visible from all sides.

The ideal storage temperature for wine is between 12°C and 14°C. However, some conservators have multi-temperature zones to store different types of wine at their appropriate temperatures (eg whites at 7°C-10°C and reds at 15°C-18°C).
