Liebherr freestanding wine coolers come in two series. GrandCru models are single-zone cabinets that work like a cellar, holding the whole collection at one steady temperature for long-term storage. Vinidor models have two or three separate zones, so reds, whites and sparkling wines can each sit at their own serving temperature. Sizes run from a compact 12-bottle GrandCru cabinet with a glazed door, which can also be wall-mounted, up to a full-height 75 cm GrandCru Selection holding 324 bottles.
Most of the full-height GrandCru cabinets are 60 cm wide and hold between 141 and 229 bottles. Every one has a 5°C to 20°C range, touch controls, auto defrost and fan-circulated air, which keeps the temperature even from top shelf to bottom. Most of the GrandCru listings give a noise level of 37 or 38 dB and an E or F energy rating. The 60 cm and 75 cm GrandCru models can go online with an optional smart device box. Some have glass doors and some solid ones. A glass door shows off your bottles, while a solid door keeps out more light. The listings say these GrandCru models don't take Champagne bottles, so check this if you keep a lot of fizz.
The Vinidor range comes in black steel or stainless steel. Two-zone 60 cm models hold up to 131 bottles. Three-zone Vinidor Selection models come in 60 cm and 70 cm widths, the larger holding 182 bottles. Adding zones lowers the bottle count for a given size, but it means you can serve wine straight from the cabinet.
To narrow it down, think about whether you are storing wine for years or keeping bottles ready to drink. For long-term storage, choose a GrandCru model sized to your collection. For serving at the table, pick a Vinidor with as many zones as the wines you drink. To see freestanding and fitted options side by side, browse all Liebherr wine coolers.
