Storage and temperature control
The appliance provides 122 litres of storage for up to 40 bottles, split between two independently controlled zones. This makes it practical for households that want reds, whites and sparkling wines stored at different temperatures.
The stated settings cover 6–12°C for white or sparkling wines and 14–20°C for reds. A 12–14°C setting is also available for cellaring in one zone, giving the cooler broader flexibility than a single-temperature design.
Design and everyday usability
Extendable premium wooden shelves are intended to accommodate common Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne bottle shapes while helping keep labels clear of scratches. Internal LED lighting should make it easier to identify bottles without leaving the door open for long.
The built-in under-counter format, reversible door and stated 820 mm niche make installation flexibility a key part of the design. At 33 dB, it is specified to operate quietly, although the available product information does not describe the sound profile under different operating conditions.
Wine-protection features and efficiency
Cellar Pro 5 Fundamentals is described as combining stable temperature, humidity above 50%, airflow, darkness and low vibration to support careful wine storage. The UV-protected dark storage area is particularly relevant for longer-term collection protection.
The energy rating is G and annual energy consumption is stated as 146 kWh. That specification is less appealing for buyers focused primarily on minimising energy use, but the cooler's dedicated storage controls and cellar-oriented features may justify the trade-off for the right user.
