Is the Cookology CWC301BK 30cm Wine Cooler worth it?
Yes — the best slim wine cooler.
It fits a 30 cm gap and holds 20 bottles, and in lab testing its temperature varied by less than a fifth of a degree over 24 hours. It runs at a claimed 41 dB and has a digital thermostat from 5°C to 20°C. It's small, the firm door seal makes the cooler tilt slightly as you open it, and it's not cheap to run.
Good to know

- The firm door seal tilts the cooler slightly as you open it.
- Energy class G, so it costs more to run than bigger coolers.
- Fits a 30 cm gap
- Rock-steady temperature

How we reached this verdict
Good Housekeeping UK's lab tests rated it 81 out of 100 and its best budget wine cooler for small spaces: its temperature varied by just 0.17°C on average over 24 hours, though it's small and the firm door seal tilts it when opened. It's the only test of this model we found.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
