The main reason to buy a Liebherr wine fridge is for the long-term preservation of your most valued wine bottles.
Although you will pay a premium, these German-engineered fridges have some of the best temperature, humidity control, and reliability metrics of any brand on the market.
Why buy from EWS: Price match guarantee, free 2-man delivery, and a 2 year warranty.
Liebherr wine coolers are designed and manufactured in the home of precision engineering and high quality products, Germany. They are a leading luxury wine cabinet brand who pride themselves on creating wine fridges which meet the highest standards for long term wine preservation and serving.
Liebherr’s Grand Cru range of wine cabinets are designed purely for long term storage and ageing of wines. They are constructed from the highest quality components and are available in a range of sizes to suit your budget, space availability and capacity requirements.
The larger units such as the WKT6451 will accommodate 312 Bordeaux bottles and features a solid door which means there is absolutely zero worry about UV light interfering with the development of your wines over time.
While the largest unit will store hundreds of bottles, the WKES653 will store only 12 Bordeaux bottles, which may be 12 of the finest bottles in the world, so they still need to be kept safe and stored correctly.
The Grandcru range will allow the interior temperature to be set to between 5 and 20°C (making them versatile to a range of wines) and are available with UV protected glass doors or solid doors as previously mentioned.
The Vinothek range from Liebherr are a more versatile group of wine cabinets and are tailored a little bit more towards day to day use as opposed to professional storage (like in the GrandCru range mentioned previously).
The WKB4212 is the largest cabinet in this range and can store up to 200 Bordeaux bottles and features adjustable wooden shelving and UV protected glass.
Again, this range will operate at temperatures between 5 and 20°C, but some of the cabinets (such as the WTB4212) are able to produce multiple temperature zones due to having a polyvalent function, which gives you a place to store and serve wines simultaneously.
The Vinidor range from Liebherr are their premium range of freestanding wine coolers.
These units offer multiple temperature zones, with the WTES5872 offering three independent temperature zones for storage, and service of two different types of wine - all at the same time.
They are made from stainless steel, and have an industrial feel to them, and they are extremely robust and look great as commercial wine fridges in restaurants and businesses.
The Liebherr kitchen line is aimed at kitchen designers and interior designers.
They push2open technology to create a more minimalist handless kitchen layout, and some models (such as the EWTDF1653) can be fully integrated into cabinetry (whether that's a seamless edge like other appliances, or with a cabinet door attached to disguise it), making the fridge feel like part of the overall kitchen design (hence why designers like them).
