Allavino VSWR172/177 – Dual or Single Zone 172 or 177 Bottle Wine Fridge
The full-column Allavino — 71.5 inches tall, up to 177 bottles, your choice of dual-zone or single-zone cooling.
When capacity is the priority, the VSWR172 and VSWR177 are the answer. Both are full-column wine fridges standing 71.5 inches tall — purpose-built for dedicated wine rooms, bar walls, and large kitchen builds where a serious collection needs a serious home. The VSWR172 is the dual-zone model, keeping reds and whites at independent temperatures between 41°F and 64°F via Tru-Vino compressor cooling with near-zero fluctuation. The VSWR177 is the single-zone version, running the entire column at one set temperature for collectors who store primarily one style. Both use ball-bearing glide-out shelves that damp vibration while giving you clean access to any bottle, and both are front-vented for built-in installation or freestanding placement. At 304.2 lbs this requires professional delivery — and at 27 inches deep, confirm your cabinet depth before ordering.

Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take›
The VSWR172 and VSWR177 are for buyers who've outgrown everything else in this lineup. At 71.5 inches tall and up to 177 bottles, these are full wine room columns in appliance form — the kind of unit that becomes the centerpiece of a bar wall or a dedicated cellar build. If you're still measuring in dozens of bottles, this isn't your unit yet. If you're measuring in cases and thinking about what you'll be drinking in five years, it might be the only one that makes sense.
The decision between the two models is straightforward: if you store both reds and whites and want each at its own temperature, choose the VSWR172 dual-zone. If your collection is predominantly one style or you prefer the simplicity of a single set temperature across the full column, the VSWR177 single-zone does the same job without the zone management.
Two things to confirm before ordering: depth and weight. This unit is 27 inches deep — deeper than standard kitchen cabinetry — so built-in installations require a cabinet designed for it. And at 304.2 lbs (338 lbs shipping), this is a professional delivery job. Plan the route, confirm the floor, and have the right people there when it arrives.
- Serious collectors with 150+ bottle inventories who need a permanent, purpose-built home for their wine
- Bar walls, wine rooms, and kitchen builds with a dedicated full-height column space
- Buyers choosing between dual-zone (VSWR172) for mixed reds and whites, or single-zone (VSWR177) for simplified storage at one temperature
- Anyone who wants front-vented built-in capability without rear clearance requirements
- Collectors prioritizing long-term aging conditions — near-zero temperature fluctuation, UV-protected door, vibration-dampening shelves

How many bottles do the VSWR172 and VSWR177 hold? ›
The VSWR177 (single zone) holds up to 177 bottles. The VSWR172 (dual zone) holds up to 172 bottles. Confirmed by the manuals: up to 172 bottles for VSWR172 and up to 177 bottles for VSWR177.

Can the VSWR172/177 be installed built-in? ›
Yes. Both units are front-vented and built-in capable — they install flush into cabinetry without rear clearance. They also work freestanding. Important: the depth is 27 inches, which is deeper than standard kitchen cabinetry. Any built-in installation requires a cabinet or niche designed for this depth. The manuals do not specify a separate cutout measurement. Use the documented 71.5" H × 23.5" W × 27" D cabinet dimensions (28.75" with handle), keep the front ventilation completely unobstructed, and verify the opening against the actual appliance.
What are the cutout dimensions for built-in installation? ›
The manuals do not provide a dedicated cutout size. Both models measure 71.5" H × 23.5" W × 27" D (28.75" with handle), allow fully recessed installation, and require the front ventilation base to remain completely unobstructed. Confirm the finished opening and depth against the actual unit.

Both models measure 71.5" H x 23.5" W x 27.0" D and weigh 304.2 lbs (338 lbs shipping weight). At 304 lbs, this requires a professional delivery team for safe placement. Confirm the delivery route, floor capacity, and final installation space before ordering.
Does the VSWR172/177 have a lockable door? ›
Yes. Both the VSWR172 and VSWR177 feature a lockable door with a digital temperature control display.
What is the shelving system on the VSWR172/177? ›
Both models feature glide-out ball-bearing shelves that minimize vibration and allow quiet, smooth access to any bottle without disturbing the rest of the rack. VSWR172 has 14 removable, repositionable FlexCount shelves/drawers; VSWR177 has 13. They use metal shelf frames with wood slats and glide out on ball-bearing tracks.
What electrical connection do the VSWR172/177 require? ›
Both models require 115V / 60Hz power and draw 1.1A while running. Use a grounded three-prong outlet; the manuals recommend a separate circuit serving only the appliance.
What is the warranty on the Allavino VSWR172/177? ›
Allavino provides 1 year of parts-and-labor coverage plus limited compressor-only coverage from years 2 through 5; the owner is responsible for labor and freight during the compressor period. Warranty service is handled directly by Allavino.
