What are the different types of wine cabinets?
Single temperature
Single temperature wine cabinets are ideal for wine enthusiasts as they are suitable for the long term storage of wine bottles, making them a beneficial long-term investment. Furthermore, this type of wine cabinet maintains one consistent temperature and can be adjusted as necessary. Therefore making single temperature cabinets the ideal and perfect choice for those red wines with a long life ahead.
2/3 temperature
2-3 temperature wine cabinets are ideal for smaller wine bottle collections, where you can store wines at the correct storage and drinking temperatures. The two or three different sections offer different temperatures; this means you can store various wine bottles.
Multi-temperature
Multi-temperature wine cabinets offer multiple temperature zones for different wine chilling requirements. They are suited to store different wines at their respective drinking temperatures and store wines for long-term storage. Multi-temperature wine cabinets are ideal if you do not have the benefits of a wine cellar.
Liebherr wine cabinet ranges
The Vinidor range is available in different sizes, whereas the GrandCru and Vinothek ranges are available in different sizes and designs. We offer information about the ranges below.
Vinidor
The Vinidor range combines all of the advantages of wine storage and multi-temperature cabinets. This range offers two or three wine compartments that allow wine or champagne to be kept at the ideal serving temperatures. The sleek, stainless steel wine cabinets are ideal for any kitchen, restaurant, pub or bar. Also, these cabinets provide long-term wine storage and are suitable for just about any collection of wines. Different sizes are available, allowing storage from between 38 and 211 bottles.

The GrandCru range offers single temperature wine cabinets, which are ideal for long term storage. Different sizes and designs are available, from storing 12 to 312 bottles. For example, the WKt 6452 holds 312 bottles with a solid door front, whereas the WKes 553 holds 18 bottles and features a glazed door with stainless steel and silver sidewalls. We are proud to say the GrandCru range is one of the most energy-efficient in Liebherr’s range. In one year alone, the GrandCru WKes 653 uses less than half the energy than a standard fridge-freezer with an A+ energy efficiency class based on Carbon Footprint statistics.

Why choose a Liebherr wine cabinet?
Liebherr wine cabinets offer the ideal storage temperature for wine. The electronic control system and advanced air conditioning technologies guarantee that cabinets maintain a consistent temperature. They can be set to the exact temperature required, within the range of +5 °C to +20 °C. Liebherr wine cabinets, and most specifically Vinidor models, provide the best conditions for wine to age without disturbance such as vibration or fluctuating temperatures. You can feel assured that your wine will develop during storage in the most favourable conditions.
You can also enjoy wine at the correct serving temperature with the 2/3 and multi-temperature wine cabinets. So whether you are enjoying a quiet evening or hosting an opening night at your restaurant, a wine cabinet can ensure the drinks are served at the most enjoyable temperature!
The air quality of Liebherr wine cabinets ensures a wines taste remains intact. All Liebherr wine cabinets are fitted with activated charcoal filters, which ensure optimum air quality. The active charcoal filters the incoming air, removing contaminants and preventing odours from affecting the taste of wines stored in the cabinet. The replaceable charcoal filters should be replaced every 9-12 months and are available under Liebherr cabinet accessories.
Liebherr wine cabinets ensure the best conditions for both corks and wine! Regulated air circulation and vaporiser system keep humidity levels high. The correct humidity conditions are vital for wine storage. If humidity levels fall below 50%, then corks can shrink, allowing oxygen to penetrate the bottle and evaporation to occur. This can lead to the spoiling of wine, which is never good news!
We also like to highlight that these wine cabinets make very little operating noise, ranging from 35dB(A) to 44dB(A). You can compare this to a quiet bedroom at night or whispers in a library! These cabinets provide gentle storage conditions where you can store wine with minimal, if any, disturbance. The handcrafted wooden shelves are unvarnished to eliminate any harmful vapours that would damage or taint the wine. You can arrange your bottles of wine in opposite directions to maximise shelf space. The Vinidor wine cabinets’ shelves are fitted to telescopic rails. This provides a clear overview of the bottles whilst allowing for easy access. The soft closing door, which closes automatically on reaching a 45° angle (approximately), ensures gentle closure not to disturb the wine and prevents accidentally slamming the door.
Liebherr wine cabinets are also fitted with UV-resistant insulated glass to reflect nearly all the damaging UV radiation. This prevents any deterioration of the wine. In addition, LED lighting illuminates your bottle collection in certain Liebherr models, providing a beautiful presentation that entices your guests!

- Perfect storage temperature

- Ideal humidity
- Optimum positioning
