Full guide and FAQs What’s the difference between a small built in/integrated and a small freestanding wine fridge? If you've spent any time looking for wine fridges at all then you'll have seen the words 'freestanding', 'integrated' and built-in'. These words refer to the ideal placement of the wine fridge and most importantly, how the wine fridge vents. The hot air from the compressor needs to go somewhere, in small freestanding wine fridge the heat emanates from around the entire carcass which means you need to include 2-3 inches of free space all around the unit and at least 12 inches on top too. For a built-in or undercounter small wine fridge, the ventilation panel is at the front, at the very bottom of the unit. Those installing this type of wine fridge into a kitchen often add a plinth at the bottom to cover the internal grate. As long as the plinth has holes to allow the small wine fridge to breath, this is fine. A small integrated wine fridge would typically be the size of a microwave oven and would almost certainly just be used for wine service. Small integrated dual zone wine fridges are at least 60cm tall. Why choose a small wine fridge? Space-Efficien
