IDEAL UNDERCOUNTER WINE FRIDGE
The CELLA W40-SSH is a premium wine cooler designed to provide ideal conditions for both short- and long-term wine storage. It features smooth telescopic shelves for effortless access to your collection, while zero clearance hinges allow the door to open fully without striking neighbouring cabinetry. This essential feature makes the W40-SSH perfect for flush undercounter installations, yet it is often missing from many competing models. For a coordinated look, it can also be paired with the matching CELLA BV34-SSH beer cooler.
Purpose-built for undercounter installation, the W40-SSH includes adjustable feet that extend the cabinet height up to 890mm, ensuring a precise fit beneath a wide range of worktops. A convenient adjustment tool allows the front feet to be levelled after the appliance has been positioned, making installation quick and straightforward. For added safety and stability, a fixing bracket is supplied and must be fitted to prevent the wine cooler from tipping forward once installed.
To help protect your wine collection, every CELLA storage unit features a range of built-in monitoring sensors and visual and audible alarms. These continuously monitor key conditions, including internal temperature and door status, alerting you if any changes could affect your wines. Should you wish, the alarm notifications can be quickly muted or disabled using the convenient touch control panel.
LATEST IN WINE FRIDGE TECHNOLOGY
The CELLA W40-SSH is equipped with a range of premium features designed to create the ideal environment for long-term wine storage. A replaceable activated charcoal filter, conveniently located on the rear wall of the cabinet, helps eliminate unwanted odours and impurities, ensuring the air inside the cooler remains fresh and your wines are stored in optimal conditions.
To further protect your collection, the W40-SSH incorporates advanced anti-vibration technology. While all compressor-driven wine coolers generate some vibration during operation, CELLA goes beyond the standard rubber mounting system by using a digitally controlled inverter compressor. This intelligent compressor automatically adjusts its operating speed to match cooling demand and ambient conditions, significantly reducing vibration and noise while maintaining a more stable internal temperature. The result is quieter operation, improved energy efficiency, and a more consistent storage environment—helping to preserve the quality and character of your wines.
PROS AND CONS - COOLERSOMM'S OPINION
If you're looking for a premium undercounter wine cooler that prioritises wine preservation over gimmicks, the CELLA W40-SSH is an easy model to recommend. It combines thoughtful features such as zero clearance hinges, telescopic shelves, a digitally controlled inverter compressor, and an activated charcoal filter—all of which contribute to better long-term wine storage and everyday usability. The dimmable LED lighting and quiet 38dB operation also make it an excellent choice for modern kitchens.
On the downside, it offers a single temperature zone, so it isn't ideal if you want to store red and white wines at different serving temperatures simultaneously. The F energy rating may also appear modest at first glance, although its annual consumption of 124kWh is still very low compared with a typical fridge freezer. Overall, the W40-SSH offers excellent build quality, practical installation features, and reliable temperature stability, making it a strong choice for anyone wanting a high-quality undercounter wine fridge for both everyday enjoyment and long-term storage.
