Coastal Wine Trail Staff

We chilled cans for weeks to find the best beverage refrigerators for home bars, kitchens, and garages — from countertop minis to 145-can capacity.

We compared quietness, capacity, and temperature control to find the best soda fridges for kitchens, garages, offices, and dorm rooms.

We chilled drinks in warm garages to find coolers that hold cold in the heat, fit the wall, and stay quiet enough to live with.

We found the best insulated coolers for keeping beers cold, from easy-access soft bags to rolling ice chests for a crowd.

We compared eight soft coolers on capacity, ice retention, leak resistance, and portability to find the right one for beach days, tailgates, and grocery runs.

We tested the best backpack coolers for beer to find which keep cans coldest and carry easiest. Top picks for every crew size.

We tested rolling coolers for patio parties, tailgates, and beaches. These picks hold ice, roll well, and keep drinks easy to reach.

We rolled the best wheeled coolers through real outings to find the right mix of capacity, ice retention, and easy one-handed transport.

We tested tailgate coolers for cold retention, capacity, and portability, from a premium hard cooler to wheeled and backpack picks for every group size.

We set up and broke down folding bar tables and rolling cooler carts to find the sturdiest, easiest-to-carry bars for your next tailgate.
