With a generous capacity to hold up to 89 bottles, the WC1796BG is ideal for those who enjoy collecting and showcasing their favourite wines. Its triple zone feature is one of its most significant benefits, allowing users to store red, white, and sparkling wines at their ideal temperatures within a single unit. Each zone is independently controlled, with a temperature range from 5°C to 18°C, ensuring that every bottle is kept at the perfect serving temperature. This versatility makes the WC1796BG an excellent choice for households with diverse wine preferences.
The design of the WC1796BG is as impressive as its functionality. The cooler’s exterior is finished in sleek black glass, offering a sophisticated and contemporary look that complements a variety of kitchen styles. The integrated handle and touch control panel add to its minimalist aesthetic, while the reversible door provides flexibility in installation, allowing it to fit seamlessly into any space. The door is also lockable, ensuring the security of your wine collection.
Inside, the wine cooler is equipped with 11 wooden shelves, which not only add to the unit’s visual appeal but also provide a stable, vibration-free environment for your bottles. Vibration can be detrimental to wine, disrupting the sediment and affecting the ageing process. The WC1796BG addresses this with its vibration-free technology, ensuring that your wine ages as intended. The shelves are double stacked, allowing for efficient use of space and accommodating various bottle sizes, including Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne bottles.
One of the standout features of the WC1796BG is its advanced cooling technology. It uses a no-frost compressor cooling system, which maintains a consistent temperature without the build-up of frost, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. This, coupled with fan-circulated air, ensures that the temperature is evenly distributed throughout the cooler. The unit also includes humidity control, crucial for preserving wine quality by preventing corks from drying out and maintaining the wine’s flavour integrity.
The WC1796BG is designed with safety and convenience in mind. The door is made from toughened UV-protected glass, which shields your wine from harmful light exposure that can degrade its quality. Additionally, the cooler features UV heat-free lighting, which illuminates the interior without generating heat, further protecting your collection. The appliance also includes an audible and visual temperature warning, alerting you if the internal temperature deviates from the set range, along with a high-temperature and open door alarm for added peace of mind.
Although the WC1796BG is energy rated G, which reflects a higher energy consumption, it compensates with its comprehensive features that ensure your wine is stored under the best possible conditions. The annual energy consumption is 162 kWh, which, given the performance and advanced technology, is justified for serious wine collectors. The cooler operates quietly at 45 dB, making it suitable for installation in open-plan living areas where noise might be a concern.
In summary, the Caple WC1796BG In-Column Triple Zone Wine Cooler is a sophisticated and highly functional appliance that caters to the needs of wine enthusiasts. Its combination of advanced cooling technology, elegant design, and thoughtful features ensures that your wine collection is not only stored in optimal conditions but also displayed with style. Whether you are a casual wine drinker or a serious collector, the WC1796BG offers a premium solution for wine storage, making it a worthy addition to any home.
