Why this wine chiller earns its place
The Liebherr WSBL 5001 is an upright wine fridge — a freestanding cabinet built to hold and present bottled wine rather than share space in a general drinks fridge. In a restaurant, bar or hotel it does two jobs at once: it keeps a working range of bottles ready to pour and it puts that range in front of the guest, which is where wine sales are made. As an upright format it takes floor space rather than counter space, so it fits a service area, back bar or dining-room wall.
A dedicated wine cabinet earns its keep by holding bottles in conditions set for wine, kept apart from the swings of a busy kitchen fridge that is opened all day. The WSBL 5001 holds up to 196 bottles across 4 adjustable shelves, so you can tune the layout to your bottle formats and frequency of service. The cabinet maintains a steady +5 to +20 °C with a quiet 38 dB(A) operation and low-vibration cooling to protect delicate wines. Energy rating (class E, 97 kWh/year) and climate class are all set out on the specification panel on this page — worth checking against where you plan to site it.
Plan the install around the cabinet's footprint and door clearance before you commit a spot: an upright cabinet needs clear space in front to load bottles and a nearby 220-240 V socket on a suitable supply. The cabinet measures 1684 mm tall, 597 mm deep and 763 mm wide, with a weight of 90 kg — factors that matter for doorway access and floor strength. Confirm the dimensions against your doorway and final position, and our team can talk fit through if the space is tight.
