How we count bottles
All LeCavist capacities are calculated using the international 750 mL Bordeaux bottle, with shelves removed and bottles stacked end-to-end. In real-world use you’ll typically fit around 80% of the advertised maximum, depending on:
- Bottle shape — Burgundy and Champagne bottles are wider than Bordeaux and take more space.
- How many shelves you keep in — more shelves means easier access but lower total capacity.
We assume Standard loading by default (≈ 85% of advertised capacity). You can switch to Comfort or Max on the results page if you want to refine.
Where will it live, and how should it look?
Two quick choices on one page — location and finish.
1 Installation location
Clearance you'll need
Freestanding installation — allow at least 10 cm clearance on each side, top and back so the unit can vent properly. Without it, cooling efficiency drops and the compressor works harder.
Built-in installation — only requires a 3 cm clearance on all sides. Ventilation is made through the vent at the bottom, so the cabinet sits flush in cabinetry or a niche.
2 Finish
Every LeCavist cabinet is available in black. Stainless steel is a premium upgrade available on select models.
What do you mainly store?
Temperature zones determine how your collection is preserved.
Help me understand temperature zones
Wine ages and serves best at a stable, well-chosen temperature. Fluctuations and dryness damage corks and accelerate ageing — a steady climate matters more than a "cold fridge". Different wines have different ideal serving temperatures (a few examples from our temperature guide):
- 6 °C — Champagne, Bordeaux Blanc, sweet sparkling, Passito di Pantelleria
- 8 °C — Dry whites, Verdicchio, fruity dry whites, Passito Liqueur
- 10–11 °C — White Burgundy, Trentino, Franciacorta, Friulano, Loire dry whites, aromatic whites
- 12–13 °C — Provence rosé, New Wine, Beaujolais, Languedoc-Roussillon
- 14–15 °C — Loire reds, light reds with malt tannins, Rodano white
- 16 °C — Chianti Classico, structured reds with tannins
- 17–18 °C — Bordeaux Red, Amarone, Barbaresco, Barolo, Brunello, Red Burgundy
What LeCavist cabinets offer: single-zone units run a constant 5–20 °C (set anywhere in that range — ideal for long-term ageing). Dual-zone has two independent chambers, typically 5–12 °C chilled + 12–18 °C serving — reds and whites both ready to pour. Triple-zone splits further (e.g. 5–12 °C / 8–12 °C / 12–18 °C) so reds, whites and sparkling each sit at their own ideal temperature. Background reading: why wines come in different colours.
