Did you ever purchase this? I'm also looking for a beverage cooler--was leaning towards the Liebherr RU500 but just ran across this one. Very nice look but only two mixed reviews that I could find.

The email notification system here has been quite wonky. Thanks for all the replies. In no particular order: bocron - That was the unit I linked to first too. I actually emailed summit. Here's my email and their response. I'm looking for a tall half wine cooler/half beverage fridge. There doesn't seem to be one. (Maybe one over $3k, but that's not an option). I'd like a way to store beer, wine, and soft drinks in one unit. The SWC 1875 seems to be a possibility, but I have a couple questions. Are the wooden racks/shelves flat or tilted? Can the wooden racks/shelves be removed? I don't need to store much wine, just a a shelf or so of white. I'd like to stand up soft drinks and 'regular' beers in that section as well. I'd like to store some red wine along with dark beers that are supposed to be stored at a similar temperature (stouts, etc.). The wines should lay down, but the beers should stand up. If you can think of another unit that would better fulfill my needs, please advise. Either way, I look forward to a reply. Thank you for contacting Summit. The shelves are flat and removable. However, there are gaps on the shelves themselves, so you would have to keep the beer in their containers, or the bottles could potentially slip through the gaps. Unfortunately, we only offer undercounter beverage center/wine coolers. I didn't quite ask if they can be swapped out, but I'd gather not based on the response. If you find they can, let me know. joeboldt - IPA's and the like, no. But barrel-aged stouts, yes, they'll be stored longer. Up to several years. But you're right, for those, they can continue to live in the chest unit that's thermostat controlled in the garage. alerievay - Yeah, the vinotemp and marvel are both more than I'm willing to spend. plllog - Yes, you get the storage of the different beers. Reading your post and the reflecting I did at the end of mine, I think I've figured I really just need a fridge. And we'll probably just make due with what we've got, since the perfect solution isn't out there. I could just get a standing fridge only, but the idea was the cool looking beverage fridge with the glass door and multiple zones all right there. What we've got now is: In the garage chest freezer with separate thermostat to keep barrel aged, etc. stuff. I don't go in there. Also in the garage, a freezer on top/fridge on bottom that was always supposed to be my extra freezer space, and is now kept 'normal' so I can store my extra freezer goods out there. But the fridge (which I hoped to be extra fridge storage) is all beer. I'm not quite as scared to pull something out of there as from the chest freezer. It's where the extra 'more normal' or 'to be consumed quickly' stuff goes. Small beverage fridge in DH's office. No idea what's in there and how it differs from the other two. I think I need to request that he empty it from stuff that could go into either of the garage pieces and use that for the sodas/friends 'normal' beers that they bring and leave. It's smaller than what I'd like, but we HAVE it. We'll see what I think when we get our new regular fridge with the kitchen reno. Maybe I shouldn't have offered our SxS Samsung to the inlaws? And if I change my mind, they'd understand. Well, they probably wouldn't understand four 'fridges' for two people, but they'd be fine with it.

Hello! We can provide some clarity as to the differences between an undercounter Refrigerator vs. Beverage Center. A glass door refrigerator typically offers an interior with adjustable glass shelving, whereas a Beverage Center typically offers a mix of adjustable glass shelving + 2 rows of wine racks. See images below. U-Line specializes in undercounter refrigeration, so I encourage you to take a look at our product collection (learn more here: http://www.u-line.com/?___store=us). As mentioned above, our Modular 3000 Series product line was launched in 2011 and is comprised of our ultra-premium product offering, designed to provide the ultimate in point-of-use flexibility. We also offer a 2000 Series and a 1000 Series which offer lower price points. Let us know if we can help answer any additional questions!

We first bought a VinoTemp (POS). Then we bought a house with a Vinotemp (another POS) and then it died. Ended up with a Marvel floor model that is lovely (2 years of use). Be sure to go to the store and look at them in person. I was surprised and how plasticy and junky many of them were. The Marvel has pull out racks that are metal and the build just felt much better than the ULine and others we looked at.
