PRODUCT OVERVIEW

An elegant and efficient dual zone wine cabinet from specialist cooler producer Dunavox who offer a 3 year warranty on this product. These wine cabinets are renowned for their efficiency, quiet running and reliability and will store your wine over the longer term.

This wine cabinet has two temperature zones, the upper can be set between 5-12°C and the lower between 12-22°C. Both zones can be programmed to 12°C if so desired giving the opportunity to use the whole unit for storage, or both could be used for service of either red, whites or Champagne or all three. This highly adaptable wine cabinet will serve its owner through changes in collection for years to come.

These units are firm favourites with restaurants and home kitchens but can also be used anywhere around the home or office as freestanding units thanks to their front venting mechanism and winter system making them great for colder rooms like garages or cellars.

The DX-166.428SDSK is jam packed with features that ensure your wine is left to mature in the best possible condition including the wide ranging and steady temperature controls, automatic humidity management, UV protected glass door and winter system ensuring any ambient temperature dips don't harm your wine. The cabinet also comes with a lock and key to avoid any teenage party mishaps. The charcoal filter allows for long term ageing.

Dunavox are known in the wine industry for producing wine fridges that aim for long term reliability and their company ethos is to produce wine coolers that will last a decade and longer. To achieve this they use the highest quality parts and produce those parts and assemble their units within one factory assuring consistent and regulated quality throughout. Their confidence in the quality of their coolers is displayed through offering the longest free warranties of all our wine coolers with 3 years on the parts and 5 years on the compressor.

Why Dunavox is a leading luxury wine fridge brand?

Dunavox is an award-winning wine fridge manufacturer known for combining premium design with advanced cooling technology. The brand was recently named ‘Best Luxury Wine Fridge in Europe 2025’, reinforcing its position in the premium wine storage market.

Dunavox was also the first manufacturer to introduce integrated wine fridges with built-in ventilation, helping create a cleaner, more seamless installation. Its wine coolers use high-quality components designed for long-term reliability, while features such as low-noise operation and energy-efficient performance make them practical for everyday use.

For homeowners looking for a wine cooler that combines luxury design, reliable wine storage and quiet operation, Dunavox offers a premium solution.

What is the Dunavox Grande range designed for?

The Dunavox Grande range is designed for wine collectors who need substantial storage capacity without compromising on appearance or performance.

With models capable of storing approximately 166–194 bottles, the Grande range is particularly suited to serious wine enthusiasts, growing collections and homeowners upgrading from a smaller wine cooler.

Its full-height cabinet design also allows the wine cooler to become a feature within a kitchen, dining room or living space, rather than simply functioning as an appliance.

Who is the Dunavox Grande wine fridge best suited to?

The Grande range is a strong choice if you:

• Have a large or growing wine collection
• Need storage for around 166–194 bottles
• Want a premium, full-height wine cabinet
• Are upgrading from a smaller wine cooler
• Want wine storage that complements a modern interior
• Need a cabinet designed for long-term wine protection

How quiet is a Dunavox Grande wine fridge?

Dunavox Grande wine fridges are engineered for quiet, continuous operation, making them suitable for areas where noise can be noticeable.

The cabinets incorporate vibration-dampening mounts and quiet-running fans to help manage airflow while minimising operational noise. This makes the Grande range suitable for kitchens, dining rooms and open-plan living spaces where a quieter appliance is preferable. Whilst the Dunavox grande units are quiet, there are models available from Swisscave, EuroCave and La Sommeliere at similar prices that are half as quiet again.

Can a Dunavox Grande wine fridge be used in a garage?

Dunavox wine fridges are designed to maintain the stable conditions required for reliable wine storage. Alongside the cooling system, an internal heating element helps maintain the selected storage conditions when the surrounding temperature falls.

This makes suitable Dunavox models a potential option for garage wine storage, particularly in cooler environments where ambient temperatures can fluctuate throughout the year.

Should I choose a single-zone or dual-zone wine cooler?

The right choice depends on whether your priority is long-term wine storage or serving different wines at different temperatures. A single zone is all that is needed to mature the full range of wines regardless of whether they are red, white, sparkling or fortified.

Single-zone wine fridges

A single-zone wine fridge maintains one consistent temperature throughout the cabinet, making it particularly suitable for storing and maturing a wine collection.

For long-term storage, a temperature of around 12–13°C is commonly used as a suitable target for most wines.

A single-zone cabinet is therefore a good choice if your main priority is creating a stable environment for your collection.

Dual-zone wine fridge

A dual-zone wine cooler has two independently controlled temperature zones, allowing different wines to be stored or served at different temperatures.

Typically, the warmer zone can be used for red wine, while the cooler zone is suitable for white wine and Champagne.

Choose a dual-zone model if you regularly want to store different wine styles at their preferred serving temperatures.

How is Dunavox wine fridge bottle capacity calculated?

Dunavox states bottle capacities based on standard Bordeaux-style wine bottles. This is important to consider when comparing advertised capacities with the bottles in your own collection.

For example, the Dunavox Grande-166 has a stated capacity of 166 bottles when loaded according to the manufacturer's configuration.

Larger or differently shaped bottles, including Burgundy, Champagne and other wider formats, can take up more space than standard Bordeaux bottles. As a result, the actual number of bottles you can store may be lower than the advertised capacity.

For the most accurate capacity estimate, check the manufacturer's bottle-loading diagram for the specific Dunavox model. This shows how the stated capacity is achieved and helps you understand how different bottle shapes may affect usable storage space.

Which Dunavox Grande wine fridge should I choose?

Choosing the right Grande model ultimately depends on three key factors: bottle capacity, temperature zones and installation location.

Consider the size of your current collection, how quickly it is likely to grow and whether you need one temperature zone for storage or two zones for different serving temperatures. You should also check the model's installation and ambient-temperature requirements if you plan to install the cabinet in a garage or other cooler environment.

For a large collection where premium design, reliable temperature control and substantial bottle capacity are priorities, the Dunavox Grande range provides a high-capacity wine storage solution designed to integrate into the home.
