Overview

The BODEGA JC-115DR is a 24-inch-wide dual-zone wine and beverage refrigerator that does two jobs in one cabinet: it holds 19 wine bottles and 57 cans, each in its own temperature zone behind two glass doors. Compressor cooling and a four-shelf layout back up the split design, which is aimed at a bar or entertaining setup rather than wine alone.

The styling is commercial: a black cabinet with two glass doors and a silver finish, rated for built-in, freestanding or undercounter installation, so it can be enclosed in cabinetry or stand on its own. It runs on standard 110-volt power with automatic defrost.

At $660 it is the second most expensive unit in this group, with a 4.4 rating across 144 reviews and about 24 sold in a recent month. For anyone who wants to chill wine and a stock of canned drinks side by side without buying two appliances, the dual-purpose design is the reason to choose it.

Performance notes

The split layout is the whole point: two doors and two zones let you hold wine at a serving temperature on one side while keeping cans colder on the other, so a single cabinet covers both a wine rack and a drinks fridge. Compressor cooling gives each zone firm temperature control, and built-in capability means it can sit flush in cabinetry or under a counter rather than only standing free. The trade-off is size and cost: at 24 inches wide and near $660 it asks for both space and budget, and a compressor is not as quiet as a small thermoelectric cooler.

What buyers say

A 4.4 average over 144 reviews suggests owners are happy with the dual-purpose design, with the combination of wine and beverage storage in one cabinet frequently called out as the selling point. The common reservations are practical: the unit is wide and pricey, and buyers who only wanted wine storage note they are paying for beverage capacity, while compressor noise is the usual caveat against silent thermoelectric models.
