HOW THE LA SOMMELIERE VIP273 EDITION PROTECTS YOUR WINE

Equipped with the latest La Sommeliere innovations, this wine cabinet safeguards your collection from UV light, vibrations, temperature fluctuations, unpleasant odors, and humidity variations. Features include a UV treated, Low E glass door, an anti-vibration system, precise temperature controls, a carbon filter, and a stable humidity range of 50-80%. Additionally, the unit is secured with a lock and key for added protection.

IDEAL FOR HOME & GARAGE USE

This high capacity wine cabinet with temperature and humidity measurement is ideal for serious collectors and can be placed anywhere around the home (freestanding) thanks to its winter system. Its low noise level, particularly for a wine cabinet, ensures it blends seamlessly into your living space too. The modern design adds visual appeal. The winter system means the fridge can also be kept in a garage as the heating system will warm up the interior to the correct temperature if the ambient temperature drops. The multiple lighting options are an attractive feature for setting the ambiance.

FINE WINE STORAGE

The VIP273 offers temperature settings ranging from 5 to 20°C, allowing versatile storage options. While 12°C is suitable for storing Champagne, red, and white wines alike, enthusiasts can tailor the temperature to meet specific preferences for long-term maturation of different wine types. 

This wine cabinet features a sleek black glass door paired with a sophisticated handle, giving it a refined, modern look. Inside, a range of sliding wooden elements makes organising and accessing your bottles simple and intuitive. Adjustable shelves let you maximise storage by stacking bottles head-to-tail, or display them sideways for clear label visibility.

The drawers are designed to hold non-Bordeaux bottle shapes with ease as well as Bordeaux bottles. Dedicated display shelves provide the perfect setting to showcase the standout pieces in your collection.

PROS AND CONS - COOLERSOMM'S OPINION

La Sommeliere’s 2026 release, the VIP273, is a single-zone wine cabinet with a generous 273-bottle capacity and multiple shelving options that allow for varied use (display/storage and service). Tailored for long-term wine ageing and wine service, it’s suitable for installation in homes, garages, or cooler storage thanks to its integrated winter system as well as restaurants and bars. All wine bottle shapes will fit inside the fridge and with eight sliding shelves, this fridge offers great value and modern technology from a top tier brand. There is also the ability to store open standing bottles. The multiple lighting options are rare on a product of this price offering great value.

Designed for wine maturation and a shelf for service, it features precise temperature control, a charcoal air filter, and fully wooden sliding shelves. New for 2026 for quieter operation at 38dB and improved energy efficiency, this model combines practicality with style. It also includes a lock, a notable feature at this price point. The only drawback we can see is the fact the door is non-reversible. The shelves are also set in these positions and can not be moved up or down the cabinet and nor can be more shelves be added.
