Quick Answer: Perlick’s current residential wine cooler lineup runs from the 15-inch, single-zone HP15WS-4-2L (23 bottles, $4,460-$4,690) to the 24-inch, dual-zone, panel-ready HP24DS-4-2R (32 bottles, $5,530), per current pricing from BeverageFactory, AJ Madison, Abt, and Designer Appliances as of September 2026. Every model starts above $4,100 — Perlick prices its commercial-grade compressor, not bottle count, which is why 32 Perlick bottles cost roughly what 45+ bottles do from Marvel or Zephyr.
Perlick shows up as a supporting mention in our panel-ready and stainless-steel wine cooler roundups, but never with its own lineup compared side by side. Here’s what actually separates the four current models, and why the brand costs what it does.
Perlick’s lineup, by the numbers
- $4,140 to $5,530 is the confirmed price spread across the four current models below, per BeverageFactory, AJ Madison, Abt, Designer Appliances, and Handlers Appliance listings as of September 2026 — a genuinely premium-only lineup with no model under $4,100.
- 32 bottles is the ceiling on Perlick’s standard residential coolers. That’s less than half the capacity of Summit’s $2,220 SWC1926 (171 bottles) or U-Line’s $3,369 2000 Series (43 bottles) — Perlick isn’t competing on capacity-per-dollar.
- 100+ years of commercial bar equipment history. Perlick was founded in 1917 in Milwaukee as R. Perlick Brass Works, building brass auto parts before pivoting to Prohibition-era beer-dispensing equipment for breweries, per the company’s own history. Its residential wine coolers are a spinoff of that commercial draft-and-bar pedigree — the honest explanation for the “restaurant-grade compressor in a home kitchen” price tag.
- Don’t confuse the marine line with the kitchen line. Perlick’s HP24DM Marine/Coastal series runs $8,700-$11,200 for corrosion-resistant boat installs — a different product family from the HP24DS and HA24WB models covered here, not just a pricier trim.

1. Perlick HP24DS-3-3R — Best Overall
Perlick 24" Dual-Zone Wine Cooler (HP24DS-3-3R)
- UV-protected glass door with RAPIDcool forced-air circulation for even temperature across both zones.
- Stainless-trimmed glass front, not panel-ready — the pick if you want the bottles visible, not hidden behind cabinetry.
- Split into a 14-bottle red zone and an 18-bottle white zone, each independently controlled.

A free Amazon Wedding Registry lets guests split the cost of a premium wine cooler like this one, instead of a smaller appliance nobody’s excited about. At $4,499, this is the price most shoppers pay for a genuine dual-zone Perlick with a visible glass front — the same price across three separate retailers we checked, which is unusually tight agreement for this niche.
2. Perlick HP24DS-4-2L/R — Best Panel-Ready
Perlick 24" Dual-Zone Panel-Ready Wine Cooler (HP24DS-4-2L/2R)
- Same 32-bottle dual-zone chassis as the HP24DS-3-3R above, with a fully-integrated solid door instead of glass.
- Zero-clearance hinge means it sits flush with surrounding custom cabinetry — panel and handle sold separately.
- Available in left- or right-hinge, priced $270 apart depending on swing direction.
At $5,260-$5,530, this costs roughly $760-$1,030 more than the glass-door HP24DS-3-3R for the same 32-bottle dual-zone capacity — the entire premium is the flush cabinetry fit, not extra storage. See our best panel-ready wine fridge guide for how it compares against Zephyr’s and Marvel’s panel-ready units, both of which run $1,300-$3,600 less at similar capacity if the Perlick name and compressor aren’t the deciding factor.
3. Perlick HA24WB-4-3L/R — Best Value
Perlick 24" Single-Zone Built-In Wine Cooler (HA24WB-4-3L/3R)
- Perlick's lowest current entry price for a full-size 24" wine cooler, at roughly $360 less than the dual-zone HP24DS-3-3R.
- ADA-compliant height option available for accessible installs — not common on wine coolers at any price point.
- R600a refrigerant and a 6-year warranty, matching Perlick's commercial-equipment build standard.
This is the entry point into Perlick’s lineup — still single-zone and still north of $4,100, but the closest thing the brand sells to a “budget” pick. Skip straight to the HP24DS-3-3R above only if you specifically need two independent temperature zones; otherwise this saves real money for the same 32-bottle capacity.
4. Perlick HP15WS-4-2L — Best Narrow/Compact
Perlick 15" Single-Zone Panel-Ready Wine Cooler (HP15WS-4-2L)
- Fits a genuine 15" cutout — the narrowest current Perlick wine cooler, for kitchens that can't spare a full 24" bay.
- 700 BTU compressor and Energy Star certification, same commercial-grade build as the 24" models at a smaller footprint.
- Panel-ready only — Perlick doesn't currently sell a 15" model with a visible glass or stainless front.
If your cabinetry only has 15 inches to give, this is Perlick’s only current option — and it still costs within a few hundred dollars of the full-size 24” models above for 9 fewer bottles. Measure your cutout before assuming the smaller size means a smaller price; narrow doesn’t mean cheap on this brand.
How to choose between Perlick’s models
- Decide on glass vs. panel-ready before comparing price. The panel-ready HP24DS-4-2 costs $760-$1,030 more than the glass-door HP24DS-3-3R for the identical 32-bottle dual-zone chassis — pay it only if flush cabinetry actually matters to your kitchen design.
- Don’t confuse the marine line with residential models. Perlick’s HP24DM Marine/Coastal series runs $8,700-$11,200 for boat-grade corrosion resistance — if a Perlick listing looks unusually expensive, check whether it’s actually this line.
- Budget for the fact that every model starts above $4,100. Perlick isn’t a capacity play — see our best U-Line wine cooler or best Marvel wine cooler guides if you want more bottles per dollar at a still-premium tier.
- Check your cutout width first. Perlick’s current lineup only comes in 15” and 24” — there’s no in-between size, unlike Summit’s 12”/23.5”/24” spread.
- Budget the panel and handle separately if going panel-ready. Like every panel-ready unit on this site, neither HP24DS-4-2 nor HP15WS-4-2L includes the custom cabinetry panel — see our panel-ready wine fridge guide for typical add-on costs.
The bottom line
For most kitchens, the Perlick HP24DS-3-3R ($4,499) is the wine cooler to buy — 32-bottle dual-zone capacity with a visible glass front, and the tightest price agreement we found across three retailers. Matching custom cabinetry, the HP24DS-4-2L/R ($5,260-$5,530) is the panel-ready equivalent. On a tighter budget within the brand, the HA24WB-4-3L/R ($4,140) drops to single-zone for roughly $360 less. And if your cutout is only 15 inches wide, the HP15WS-4-2L ($4,460-$4,690) is Perlick’s only current option that fits.
