Product Features

Dual Zone Temperature Control - Two independent cooling zones allow you to store different wine types at their optimal temperatures simultaneously. Red wines can be kept at 16-18°C in one zone whilst whites chill at 6-10°C in the other, ensuring every bottle is served at its perfect drinking temperature. UV-Protected Glass Door - The double-glazed door features UV-resistant glass that shields your wine collection from harmful light exposure. This protection prevents premature ageing and maintains wine quality, whilst the blackout glass provides an elegant appearance that complements any interior design. Premium Beech Wood Shelves - Three removable shelves crafted from natural beech wood provide stable storage whilst absorbing vibrations that could disturb sediment. The warm wood tones create an authentic cellar aesthetic and the removable design allows flexible storage for different bottle sizes and shapes.

Touch-to-Open Door System - The sophisticated touch mechanism allows effortless access with a gentle press, eliminating the need for handles whilst maintaining the sleek design. The soft-close feature ensures quiet operation and prevents damage to bottles from door vibrations or sudden movements. LED Interior Illumination - Cool, glare-free LED lighting provides excellent visibility of your collection without generating heat that could affect wine temperature. The energy-efficient lighting system showcases bottles beautifully whilst consuming minimal power and lasting significantly longer than traditional bulbs. Digital Touch Controls - Intuitive digital panels provide precise temperature control for each zone with easy-to-read displays. The responsive touch interface allows quick adjustments and monitoring, whilst the sleek design integrates seamlessly with the modern aesthetic of the wine fridge.

FAQs

What types of wine can I store in each zone?

The dual zones allow you to store different wine types at their optimal temperatures. The upper zone holds 24 bottles and is perfect for red wines at 16-18°C, whilst the lower zone accommodates 12 bottles ideal for white wines and champagne at 6-10°C. Each zone operates independently with temperature ranges from 5-22°C.

How does the UV protection work?

The double-glazed glass door features UV-resistant coating that blocks harmful ultraviolet rays which can degrade wine quality over time. The blackout glass design provides complete protection whilst maintaining visibility of your collection. This protection is essential for preserving wine colour, flavour and preventing premature oxidation.

Is the wine fridge suitable for built-in installation?

Yes, the Klarstein Velaire is designed for built-in installation with dimensions of 59cm width, 56.3cm depth and 59.5cm height. The sleek design with matte aluminium frame integrates seamlessly into kitchen cabinetry. Ensure adequate ventilation space around the unit for optimal cooling performance.

How quiet is the operation?

The wine fridge operates at just 41dB, making it exceptionally quiet for kitchen or living room use. This low noise level is comparable to a quiet library and won't disturb conversations or relaxation. The efficient R600a refrigerant system and quality construction minimise operational sounds.

Can I adjust the shelf positions?

The three beech wood shelves are completely removable, allowing you to customise the interior layout for different bottle sizes. You can remove shelves to accommodate larger bottles like magnums or champagne, or adjust spacing to maximise storage efficiency. The natural wood absorbs vibrations to protect wine from disturbance.

What bottle sizes does it accommodate?

The 36-bottle capacity is based on standard 750ml Bordeaux bottles. The flexible shelf system can accommodate various bottle shapes including Burgundy, Champagne and Riesling bottles, though this may reduce the total capacity. The removable shelves allow customisation for your specific collection needs.

How does the touch-to-open door work?

The sophisticated touch mechanism requires only a gentle press on the glass door to open smoothly. This eliminates the need for traditional handles whilst maintaining the sleek aesthetic. The soft-close feature ensures the door closes gently and securely, preventing vibrations that could disturb wine sediment.

What are the energy efficiency credentials?

The wine fridge has an Energy Class G rating and uses R600a refrigerant, which is environmentally friendly with low global warming potential. The efficient LED lighting system consumes minimal power whilst providing excellent illumination. The dual-zone system optimises energy use by cooling each zone only as needed.
