HCK meets the highest standards of quality and reliability. With rigorous testing under demanding conditions, our fridges deliver unmatched performance. ELEVATING YOUR EXPERIENCE The right temperature If you are a wine lover, you know that for optimum taste it's important to drink wine at the right temperature. Most red wines are better enjoyed slightly cooler than room temperature, between 62-68F (15-20C), while white wines should be served slightly warmer than fridge temperature, between 49-55F (7-12C). The same is true for all types of drinks – not just wines. American stouts should be served at 50-55F, whereas you can drink American pale ales a bit cooler, from 45-55F. A Jägermeister shot is best at 0F, and most sodas recommend 32-34F. After 50-plus years making fridges for various types of drink companies, HCK has become the absolute refrigeration expert. Excellence is woven into every HCK product, through an array of cutting-edge technologies. From the highly efficient compressor to triple-glazed doors with anti-UV, and precise temperature and humidity controls, our offerings include anti-vibration systems, quiet operation, anti-bacterial features, and frost-free reliability.
