A beverage cooler and refrigerator are similar, but beverage coolers often do not have the adjustable shelves or door storage that a refrigerator will, and they often have glass fronts to display the contents.

Some winecoolers even have three zones, so you can keep your ready-to-serve whites and reds at their appropriate temperatures (40-45° F for white and 60-65° F for red), and in the middle zone keep wines that are still aging at their correct temperature (50-60° F).
