248 Bottles, Zero Compromise — The Allavino KWR248 Single Zone Wine Cooler
Serious cellar capacity with gallery-worthy presentation, built to store and show your collection exactly the way it deserves.
When your collection outgrows a standard wine fridge, the KWR248 steps in with room for 248 standard 750 ml bottles and the kind of presentation that makes a statement the moment someone walks into the room. Eight roller-glide wood display shelves convert between upright showcase and horizontal aging positions — so you can stage the bottles worth talking about without giving up a single slot. Fan-forced compressor cooling maintains a whisper-quiet, vibration-free environment from 41°F to 65°F, protecting cork integrity across a collection built for the long haul. The UV-tinted black glass door and blue LED lighting do double duty: shielding every bottle from light damage while turning the unit itself into the centerpiece of any tasting room, cellar, or lounge.

Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take
›
The KWR248 is built for the person who has genuinely run out of room and is done compromising. If you're rotating bottles in and out of a smaller fridge, buying a second unit, or stashing wine in the basement because nothing fits — this is the one. It's also the right call if presentation matters: that blue LED showcase behind UV glass turns storage into décor.
If you're storing fewer than 100 bottles or need a built-in fit, look at something in Allavino's smaller or built-in-ready lineup instead — this unit is freestanding only and at 78.5 inches tall and 298 lbs., it needs a permanent home with rear and side clearance.
One real-world tip: measure your doorways before delivery. At 29.375 inches wide and nearly 300 lbs., getting it into a finished basement or tasting room requires planning — confirm your entry points can handle it before the truck shows up.
- Serious collectors storing 150+ bottles who need room to keep growing
- Tasting rooms, wine bars, and hospitality spaces that want showcase-quality display
- Homeowners building a cellar-adjacent setup in a lounge or dining room
- Anyone tired of juggling two smaller units and ready to consolidate

Frequently Asked Questions
›
How many bottles does the Allavino KWR248 hold?›
The KWR248 holds 248 standard 750 ml wine bottles. Capacity may vary slightly depending on bottle shape and size.
What are the dimensions of the KWR248?›
The unit measures 78.5" H × 29.375" W × 30" D and weighs 298 lbs. Plan your entry path and installation space carefully before delivery.
Is the KWR248 freestanding or can it be built in?›
The KWR248 is designed for freestanding installation only. It requires rear and side ventilation clearance and is not intended for built-in cabinetry use.
What temperature range does the KWR248 maintain?›
The KWR248 maintains a temperature range of 41°F to 65°F, covering everything from long-term cellaring temperatures down to ready-to-serve chill for whites and sparkling wines.
Does the KWR248 have dual zones or a single temperature zone?›
The KWR248 is a single zone wine cooler — the entire cabinet maintains one temperature. If you need to store reds and whites at different temperatures simultaneously, consider a dual-zone model.
How does the shelving system work — can I store bottles upright?›
Yes. The KWR248 includes 8 roller-glide wood display shelves that are adjustable for both upright (showcase) and horizontal (aging) bottle positions. You can mix configurations across shelves to highlight feature bottles while keeping the rest flat.
What type of cooling system does the KWR248 use?›
The KWR248 uses a compressor-based cooling system with internal fans. Fan-forced airflow distributes temperature evenly throughout the cabinet and minimizes vibration — both important for long-term cork and flavor preservation.
Does the door have a UV-protection coating?›
Yes. The KWR248 has a black glass door with UV-tinted glass to block light exposure that can degrade wine over time. The blue LED interior lighting is designed to illuminate without damaging UV output.
Does the KWR248 have a lock?›
Yes, the KWR248 door includes a lock — useful in hospitality settings, tasting rooms, or any shared space where you want to control access to your collection.
What electrical connection does the KWR248 require?›
The KWR248 operates on standard 115V / 60 Hz household current. It is plug-in electric — no special wiring or gas connection is required.
How do I control the temperature on the KWR248?›
The KWR248 uses a touch digital control panel to set and adjust the temperature within the 41°F–65°F range. No manual dial — you set it precisely and the unit maintains it.
How does the KWR248 compare to the Allavino VSWR172/177?›
The KWR248 is a larger, freestanding-only single zone unit with 248-bottle capacity and a showcase shelving focus. The VSWR172/177 is available in dual or single zone configurations and in a smaller footprint — a better fit if you need built-in flexibility or dual-zone temperature control for mixed collections.
Does Deck & Den offer a price match on the KWR248?›
Yes. If you find a lower price on the KWR248 from an authorized dealer, Deck & Den will match it. See our Price Match Guarantee for details.
