Description
Introducing the CELLA W163S-BLACK, a sleek new wine fridge from UK brand CELLA, boasting a 151-bottle capacity and a single temperature zone. This model can be used as a freestanding unit or built into cabinetry. The shelves are optimised to Burgundy style bottles, but all bottles can fit neatly upon the rails.
The CELLA wine fridges boast a sleek design, complete with full-stack telescopic shelving, a recessed handle for a streamlined appearance, and hinges designed to allow the door to open flush with the cabinet. This model can be seamlessly built-in or used as a freestanding unit. Additionally, the reversible door enables two units to be positioned side by side, opening from the centre for a symmetrical design.
This single-zone wine fridge comes equipped with the latest technology necessary for wine service or storage, including a carbon filter for maturation, a winter system for placement in cooler environments like a garage or cellar, and a physical lock and key for enhanced security.
The shelving diameter is 85mm, accommodating most bottle shapes. However, for Champagne or Domaine bottles with a wider base, it may be necessary to remove some shelves partially.

What is the bottle capacity of the CELLA W163S-BLACK?
Like most wine cooler producers, capacity sizes are referenced using Bordeaux style bottles. This wine cooler holds 151 bottles on 7 beech shelves when full stacked. With a row height of 855mm, most Burgundy and some sparkling wine bottles will fit on the shelves but particularly wide based bottles will not and shelf removal will be required.
The best way to optimise space in your wine fridge is to stack the same bottle type (Bordeaux or Burgundy or Alsace for example) on the same shelves.
