PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Swisscave range are unbeatable at keeping your wine collection safe and secure. Your collection can rest inside the unit undisturbed by vibration, sunlight or heat due to the UV protected door, the steady temperature range which is programmable between 5 - 20°C and the anti vibration technology. Your wine collection is also secure from the outside as the door is lockable under key.
A dual zone, this wine cooler offers the possibility to use on half for service and one half for storage or to store whites and reds at different temperatures or, you can set the wine fridge at the same temperature in both compartments. This versatility is useful as your wine collection changes, or you need a larger section for service for Christmas or parties for example.
The ability to purchase this wine cooler both with and without handle allows multiple options for housing the unit as well as offering a beautiful symmetry to your kitchen/restaurant. At 41 decibels the wine fridge is around the average noise emission for a wine fridge and at 149 kWh/annum this is one of the more economic wine cooler units to run.
