The Swisscave Panel Ready 178 WIB-178DFP is a built-in wine climate cabinet for 94 Bordeaux bottles, 181.6 cm high and 59.5 cm wide. It is part of the Swisscave Luxury Kitchen: developed for precise integration into high-quality kitchens, with refined materials and presentation lighting. Two temperature zones, each adjustable from 5 to 20 °C, let you keep red and white wine at the right temperature at the same time.

Behind the door, which you clad with a front from your own kitchen, the bottles rest on 14 sapele (mahogany) wood shelves that pull out. The cabinet is built to store wine and bring it to the right serving temperature.

Room for 94 bottles

The 94 bottles rest on 14 shelves made of untreated sapele (mahogany) wood with handy grip bars. The shelves are mixed: half are made for Bordeaux bottles, half for Burgundy bottles. Each shelf pulls out up to 80 per cent on ball-bearing telescopic runners, so you can easily reach the bottles at the back too.

Swisscave bases this on Bordeaux bottles with all shelves in place. Larger bottles, such as a 1.5-litre magnum, go on the top or bottom shelf. The image shows the bottle layout according to Swisscave.

Panel Ready door and lighting

The WIB-178DFP has a Panel Ready door: you clad the door with a front from your own kitchen, so the cabinet blends completely into the units. The handle is made of anodised, brushed aluminium. The body is made of black coated steel.

Inside, all-round lighting creates an attractive presentation. You choose the colour yourself: white, blue or amber, and switch the lighting on or off with its own switch.

How the WIB-178DFP stores your wine

Two zones: you set both temperature zones independently, from 5 to 20 °C. Combined fan and convection cooling distributes the cold air evenly.

Even in a cold room: thanks to the winter heating function, the cabinet holds the set temperature when the room around it gets colder. With climate class SN-T, it works in a room between 10 and 43 °C.

Clean air: two active carbon filters keep the air inside fresh, so outside odours do not affect your wine. Swisscave recommends a humidity of 50 to 70 per cent.

Peace and quiet for the wine: the cabinet has a vibration-free design and runs on a speed-controlled Embraco Fullmotion compressor with a quiet fan. The noise level is 41 dB(A). The refrigerant is the environmentally friendly R600a.

Controls, alarms and security

On the control panel, two digital displays show both the set and the actual temperature. If the temperature drifts or the door is left open, you will hear a signal. After a power cut, the cabinet remembers the set temperature.

  • Audible temperature alarm and door alarm
  • Temperature memory after a power failure
  • Separate on/off switch for the lighting
  • Automatic defrost with a condensation water container
  • Tilt protection and adjustable feet for uneven floors
  • Shelf trims available in 5 colours of brushed, anodised aluminium
