Product Features

Extendable Wooden Shelves - Six full-width wooden shelves glide out smoothly on telescopic runners. This design allows complete access to your entire wine collection without having to move bottles around. Each shelf holds multiple bottles securely whilst the wooden construction prevents vibration damage that could disturb wine sediment during storage. Precision Temperature Control - Digital temperature control maintains consistent temperatures between 5-18°C across the single cooling zone. This range accommodates both serving temperatures for whites (5-8°C) and reds (12-18°C). The compressor cooling system provides stable temperatures essential for proper wine preservation and prevents temperature fluctuations. Compact Integration Design - At 82cm height and 29.5cm width this cooler fits seamlessly under standard kitchen counters. The reversible door hinge allows left or right opening whilst adjustable feet ensure level installation. The black glass door matches modern kitchen aesthetics whilst providing UV protection for stored wines.

LED Illumination System - Premium LED lighting positioned at the top provides clear visibility of wine labels without generating heat. Unlike traditional bulbs LEDs don't affect internal temperatures or emit UV rays that could damage wine. The lighting automatically illuminates when the door opens making bottle selection effortless. Anti-Vibration Technology - The anti-shake system minimises vibrations that could disturb wine sediment and affect taste development. Compressor-based cooling runs smoothly at approximately 40dB - quieter than normal conversation. This low noise level makes it suitable for open-plan kitchens and entertaining areas. Wine Protection Features - The black glass door blocks harmful UV light that can degrade wine quality over time. Combined with consistent temperature control and vibration-free storage this creates optimal conditions for both short-term serving preparation and longer-term cellaring of up to 20 bottles.

FAQs

What bottle sizes can this wine cooler accommodate?

This cooler is designed for standard 750ml Bordeaux-style bottles. The six wooden shelves provide adequate spacing for most wine bottle shapes including Burgundy bottles. However very tall bottles like some German Rieslings or Champagne bottles may require removing a shelf to create extra vertical space. The 58-litre internal capacity comfortably holds 20 standard bottles.

Can I adjust the temperature for different wine types?

Yes the digital temperature control allows precise adjustment between 5-18°C. For serving white wines set between 5-8°C. Red wines are best served at 12-18°C. If storing both types simultaneously a compromise temperature of 10-12°C works well. The single-zone design means the entire cooler maintains one consistent temperature throughout.

How quiet is this wine cooler during operation?

The compressor operates at approximately 40dB which is quieter than normal conversation and similar to a quiet library. The anti-shake technology further reduces operational noise and vibrations. This makes it suitable for installation in kitchens dining areas or entertainment spaces without causing disturbance during social gatherings.

What are the exact installation dimensions needed?

The cooler measures 57.5cm deep 29.5cm wide and 82cm high. You'll need a space slightly larger to allow for ventilation - typically add 5cm to the depth and 2-3cm to the width. The adjustable feet can compensate for minor floor irregularities whilst the reversible door hinge allows opening from either left or right side.

Does this wine cooler require any special electrical connections?

No special wiring is needed. It uses a standard UK Type G plug and operates on 230 volts. The annual energy consumption is 137 kWh making it relatively energy efficient for a compressor-based cooling system. Simply plug into a standard household socket - no hardwiring or special electrical work required.

How do the extendable shelves work?

Each wooden shelf slides out on telescopic runners allowing full access to bottles stored at the back. This eliminates the need to move front bottles to reach those behind. The shelves support the weight of multiple bottles whilst the smooth gliding action prevents jarring that could disturb wine sediment.

What warranty coverage is provided?

AEG provides a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering parts and labour for defects. This covers the compressor cooling system digital controls LED lighting and mechanical components. The warranty begins from the purchase date and requires proof of purchase for any warranty claims.

Can this cooler be used for long-term wine storage?

Yes the consistent temperature control UV protection and vibration-free environment make it suitable for both short-term serving preparation and longer-term cellaring. The 5-18°C range accommodates proper storage temperatures whilst the black glass door and stable internal environment help preserve wine quality over extended periods.
