No man is an island, but I bet sometimes they wish they were! And what does every awesome island have? A beverage centre, to keep your beer cold or if you prefer wine, a free-standing or built-in wine cooler to keep your wine at the perfect temperature for drinking.

Whether Dad has a man cave in the basement or an epic outdoor kitchen, a nice new beverage centre or wine cooler can help keep everyone entertained, making being the host even easier.

In his outdoor kitchen, Dad will love the convenience of having everything ready for the grill right there at his fingertips. With fridge space to store hamburgers waiting for the grill, and a selection of beverages for guests of all ages, a built-in or freestanding mini fridge will help keep everything organized and limit the amount of wet or dirty feet traipsing through the house. There are many different options in beverage centers, a trend that is gaining in popularity is the classical looking fridge with all the latest refrigeration technologies such as the Contemporary Classic from Danby. There are also models which offer a clear view inside allowing guests to easily see what they’re hunting for, from cold beers to a perfectly chilled pinot.

In the basement man cave, outdoor garage, or even part of the family’s great room, a beverage centre or wine cooler is almost like having your very own butler. A great wine should be enjoyed at the perfect temperature. With a large selection of wine coolers in the market, there are now options for every budget and design. There are some great little units that can be put anywhere in your house. Or if storage for 38 bottles isn’t enough for Dad’s growing wine collection, no need to build him a wine cellar, when today’s large storage ‘cellars’ offer up exceptional climate control with capacity for up to over a hundred bottles. Also with kitchen renovations driving impactful increases in property values, a built-in unit is a win for everyone!
