    La Sommelière ECS80.2Z Wine Cooler

    The La Sommeliere ECS80.2Z is a beautifully designed, freestanding unit that's ideal for the short or long term storage of fine wine. With a storage capacity of 75 bottles, this dual zone cooling unit is designed with the most dedicated and exacting wine collectors in mind. This wine fridge perfectly protects each bottle over time at a stable temperature of your choice between 5°C and 20°C in either temperature zone.

    With its sleek black glass door this contemporary styled cooler will protect your precious wines from fluctuating external temperatures and other environmental threats including UV damage. 

    The ECS80.2Z is built with high functionality and style in mind. Fitted with a vibration-free system, this fridge ensures your wines are stored perfectly still and will not be damaged by unwanted vibration. The cabinet is fitted with 2 adjustable feet located at the front of the unit to allow for easy levelling. This unit is not suitable for under counter or built in use.

In addition to this, there are 2 adjustable feet positioned on the front of the cooler to compensate for any uneven flooring. This unit is not suitable for built in use or use under counter.

     Installation Of Your Wine Cooler

    We've selected the finest wine fridges available in the UK but we often get asked about the different installation requirments for freestanding, built in and integrated wine coolers and wine cabinets. Take a look below at our brief guides and get in touch if you have any questions - we'll be very happy to help!

    Freestanding wine cooler

    A freestanding wine cooler is designed to stand independently and should not be built in to any form of cabinet or cupboard. Freestanding wine fridges require ventilation at all times. It's highly recommended that there is a minimum gap of 3-5 inches from the side and rear of the unit to any other surface. Freestanding wine cooler units should not be installed under a countertop (under counter), built in to cabinetry or covered over the top in any way as this can cause over heating and negates the manufacturer warranty. Find out more about Freestanding Wine Cooler Installation.

    Integrated wine cooler

    Integrated wine fridges are similar to built-in wine coolers but are designed to slot in perfectly into cupboards to create a floating, seamless look. In comparison to a built-in unit, integrated wine coolers sit completely flush with your cabinetry.

    Built-in/undercounter wine cooler

    In contrast to a freestanding wine cooler, a built in wine cooler is designed to be fitted into a cupboard, cabinet or under counter. This being said a built in unit can also be used as a free-standing wine cooler. A built-in wine cooler has a ventilation grill which allows cool air to flow into the unit which maintains it's cooling function. Find out more about built in wine cooler installation.

    Noise

    Is a wine cooler noisy?

    The majority of wine coolers which we stock produce a noise level of approximately 35-45 decibels (dB). When compared to other common household electrical appliances, it's useful to note, a standard dishwasher creates around 45-50 dB and a modern refrigerator generates approximately 35 dB.

    The reason a modern wine cooler produces noise is for much the same reasons as a standard kitchen refrigerator. Most wine coolers are designed with a compressor, an array of fans (to consistently circulate the cool air) and refrigerant. The minor difference between a wine cooler and a standard refrigerator is that the wine cooler has the need to hold a steady, consistent temperature at all times to keep your wine perfectly chilled.

    How do I reduce the noise of my wine cooler?

    There are a number of ways you can mitigate and reduce the noise produced by your wine cooler:

    •  Carpets, rugs, curtains and furniture can all help to absorb the sound created by your wine cooler
    •  Consider using sound-absorbing materials during any home improvement work
      When it comes to the installation of your wine cooler, make sure the unit is perfectly level using a spirit level. Sound, vibration and noise absorbing materials can also be placed under your wine cooling unit.
    •  Always ensure there is sufficient air circulating around the product, please see our explanations above regarding the different types of wine coolers for more information.

    La Sommeliere ECS80.2Z

    Excellent product and the service from Expert Wine Storage was also first class. The chap who delivered the fridge also did a great job making sure that the fridge was properly balanced and in full working order before he left. He also took all the packaging away. All in all, a great purchase and I can strongly recommend Expert Wine Storage

    Awesome Le Sommeliere 75 Bottle Wine Cooler

    Just bought the Sommeliere 75 Wine bottle cooler and couldn’t be happier. Expert Wine Storage delivered and installed it very quickly and the drivers turned up on time and installed it as requested. The cooler has been running now at a constant temperature in both zones for around a month with no fluctuations. A great piece of kit and a great company to buy from. My only disappointment is that I purchased this one month ago and it has just been reduced by £250.

    Great Choice has everything we wanted

    We ordered this fridge as a compromise between some of the smaller models and the larger options. It has been perfect for what we wanted very easy to use, silent and easy to fill. Also thought the customer service getting it to us even when it went out of stock was first class so a happy customer!

    Fabulous Service

    We bought the La Sommelière ECS80.2Z - Dual Zone - 75 Bottles - Freestanding - 480mm Wide and it is working great. We had a particular size restraint and this is one of the few units that fits. We are very happy with it.
    relatively quiet though I wouldn't keep it near a main area. better still is Expert Wine Storage who have been great throughout the purchase to installation process. Initially we had an issue but Expert Wine Storage have been amazing at sorting it all out. Would definitely recommend them.

    Excellent service and lovely product

    I deliberately chose the wine fridge for its dimensions. Even when there was a delay to the order, expert wine storage were great at keeping me up to date and offering me other options. The fridge arrived when it was predicted to, 4 weeks after ordering, and looks great! The delivery was smooth and the driver helpful.

     Installation Of Your Wine Cooler

    We've selected the finest wine fridges available in the UK but we often get asked about the different installation requirments for freestanding, built in and integrated wine coolers and wine cabinets. Take a look below at our brief guides and get in touch if you have any questions - we'll be very happy to help!

    Freestanding wine cooler

    A freestanding wine cooler is designed to stand independently and should not be built in to any form of cabinet or cupboard. Freestanding wine fridges require ventilation at all times. It's highly recommended that there is a minimum gap of 3-5 inches from the side and rear of the unit to any other surface. Freestanding wine cooler units should not be installed under a countertop (under counter), built in to cabinetry or covered over the top in any way as this can cause over heating and negates the manufacturer warranty. Find out more about Freestanding Wine Cooler Installation.

    Integrated wine cooler

    Integrated wine fridges are similar to built-in wine coolers but are designed to slot in perfectly into cupboards to create a floating, seamless look. In comparison to a built-in unit, integrated wine coolers sit completely flush with your cabinetry.

    Built-in/undercounter wine cooler

    In contrast to a freestanding wine cooler, a built in wine cooler is designed to be fitted into a cupboard, cabinet or under counter. This being said a built in unit can also be used as a free-standing wine cooler. A built-in wine cooler has a ventilation grill which allows cool air to flow into the unit which maintains it's cooling function. Find out more about built in wine cooler installation.

    Noise

    Is a wine cooler noisy?

    The majority of wine coolers which we stock produce a noise level of approximately 35-45 decibels (dB). When compared to other common household electrical appliances, it's useful to note, a standard dishwasher creates around 45-50 dB and a modern refrigerator generates approximately 35 dB.

    The reason a modern wine cooler produces noise is for much the same reasons as a standard kitchen refrigerator. Most wine coolers are designed with a compressor, an array of fans (to consistently circulate the cool air) and refrigerant. The minor difference between a wine cooler and a standard refrigerator is that the wine cooler has the need to hold a steady, consistent temperature at all times to keep your wine perfectly chilled.

    How do I reduce the noise of my wine cooler?

    There are a number of ways you can mitigate and reduce the noise produced by your wine cooler:

    •  Carpets, rugs, curtains and furniture can all help to absorb the sound created by your wine cooler
    •  Consider using sound-absorbing materials during any home improvement work
      When it comes to the installation of your wine cooler, make sure the unit is perfectly level using a spirit level. Sound, vibration and noise absorbing materials can also be placed under your wine cooling unit.
    •  Always ensure there is sufficient air circulating around the product, please see our explanations above regarding the different types of wine coolers for more information.
