The elegant design, featuring a glass door with UV protection, not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also safeguards the wine from harmful light exposure that can alter its quality.

One of the standout features of these models is the precise temperature control. Both units come with two temperature zones, allowing users to store red and white wines at their ideal conditions simultaneously.
