What is the Liebherr GrandCru WKes 653 and who is it for?

The Liebherr GrandCru WKes 653 is a true wine storage cabinet designed for long-term ageing and the protection of your collection. Unlike typical wine fridges set for serving temperature, this model maintains a single, perfectly stable environment throughout the cabinet, replicating the conditions of a traditional wine cellar.

With a capacity of approximately 12 Bordeaux-sized bottles, it is ideal for collectors, enthusiasts, and anyone whose looking to store a small collection. If you regularly buy cases to drink over several years, or you want to store fine wine properly rather than simply chill it, this is the right type of cabinet.

Capacity Note: The stated 12-bottle capacity is based on standard 0.75 l Bordeaux bottles. Larger Burgundy or Champagne bottles will reduce the total number that can be stored.

Additional Liebher WKes 653 Features

SmartSteel - SmartSteel significantly reduces the visibility of finger marks and is easy to clean.

Door alarm - The audible door alarm alerts the user if the door has been open for more than 60 seconds, providing safe protection for the food.

Child lock - The child lock is programmed to prevent the appliance from being switched off inadvertently. A symbol in the MagicEye indicates when the child lock is switched on.

Low-vibration storage - Even slight vibrations can disrupt wine maturation and prevent tannins from settling. Specially developed, exceptionally low-vibration compressors in all wine fridges ensure wine is stored optimally.

Liebherr WKes 653 Wine Cabinet - Energy Efficiency Rating

• 2 Year Guarantee on all Liebherr Wine Cabinets
• Energy class NOW: E | Energy class WAS: A++

Energy Changes Explained...

As energy-efficient appliances have become increasingly common, nearly all large domestic appliances are at the top of the energy label scale, clustered between A++ and A+++. Therefore, the EU energy label scale will be adjusted to reintroduce the simpler A to G scale, with no pluses, making it easier for consumers to compare products.

The rescale means that products currently in the A+++ energy class will end up in D and E in the new structure. However, this does NOT mean they are less energy efficient; in fact, many of Liebherr's changes mean that the products you will see as D or E actually use less energy than a current A+++ product.
