PRODUCT OVERVIEW
With a triple glazed UV resistant door, anti-vibration technology and winter heating as standard in the premium edition range, this wine cooler will protect your wine through daily and seasonal fluctuations in warm or cool climates. The Swisscave WLB-460FLD comes with a range of handles, or without a handle, to offer a perfectly centred symmetry for your kitchen, restaurant or bar and can be used as a freestanding or built-in wine cooler.
This wine fridge has an active carbon filter for longer term storage possibilities plus a lock on the door and an audible alarm if the temperature fluctuates meaning your wine collection is well protected. The anti-vibration shelves also ensure against any sediment disturbance. The "winter heating" function also protects against any dips in temperature in the room housing the wine cooler.
IS SWISSCAVE A GOOD BRAND?
Based in the town of Pfäffikon, around 30km south east of Zurich, Swisscave have been manufacturing premium wine fridges for over a decade and have a growing reputation amongst fine wine collectors for wine storage and maturation.
Now with five years full warranty on their premium and kitchen edition range, the Swisscave range boast high build quality, good energy efficiency and quiet running.
The easy sliding, durable shelving is a key feature at Swisscave with their premium edition fridges boasting MIX shelving allowing a good range of bottle varieties to nestle on the shelves. All the Swisscave wine fridges come with carbon filters as these are not only wine fridges but also operate as maturing fridges and most come with winter systems, even the undercounter models.
As a direct UK partner of Swisscave, purchasing your wine fridge with CoolerSomm ensures the latest models, boxed, directly from the manufacturer. The Swisscave brand is on display at our Wandsworth wine fridge store.
THE WLB SERIES - PREMIUM EDITION
Swisscave wine fridges come in classic and premium edition models. There's a price gap between the two versions so what's the difference between the two?
- Option to select and change white/blue/amber lighting up and down the side walls of the fridge so all bottles are highlighted.
- Quieter and more energy efficient than the classic edition, saving money over the longer term with an embraco compressor fitted.
- Premium edition fridges feature filigree precious black stainless steel frame rim with a lock and key.
- Five year warranty on the premium edition Swisscave wine fridges.
PROS AND CONS - COOLERSOMM'S OPINION
A truly premium product, the Swisscave WLB-460FLD looks fantastic thanks to the mahogany wood display shelves and adjustable lighting and is jam packed with features that you need for long term wine storage OR wine service. Indeed, Swisscave is the brand we choose at CoolerSomm for our own wine bars and our sommeliers love the easy sliding shelving for quick and easy access.
Swisscaves hold temperature really accurately and can cope with the door being opened hundreds of times a day without condensation build up or losing temperature. Equipped with winter system, smart LED lighting, sturdy, quality telescopic shelving the Swisscave range are one of the few wine fridges that are as good at storage as they are at service.
