Haier, Astronautics Corporation of America, and BASF have introduced at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas a proof-of-concept wine cooler refrigerated by a magnetocaloric heat pump.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a proposed determination that wine chillers, ice makers, and other residential refrigeration products that incorporate a compressor qualify for coverage under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) as amended. 

Regarding food service, refrigeration contractors are most concerned and familiar with ice machines, freezers, and coolers. Outside of the restaurant industry, HVACR contractors can be found spending a great deal of attention on the preservation of wine, which requires refrigeration, spot-cooling air conditioning, frozen food treat dispensers, and alternative ways of using CO₂.

Self-contained, ducted, and ductless systems specifically designed for cooling wine cellars are available. Depending on the model, units can be mounted in a living area, wall mounted, installed on the wall near the ceiling or in the ceiling joists, and more.
