The Shallow wine fridge is a shallow, constant-temperature, constant-humidity wine cabinet designed for narrow front-of-house and built-in spaces. With front exhaust and a back flush against the wall, it can be installed at a depth of approximately 450–500 mm.

Shallow Wine Fridge Features

Slim Body

The Shallow Wine Fridge's depth is limited to 450–500 mm, saving approximately 20% space compared to traditional 600 mm deep models. Its front exhaust design requires only a 20 mm heat margin in front of the door for stable operation. It comes in two standard widths: 595 mm and 900 mm, with heights ranging from 820 mm for undercounter and 1780 mm for vertical installation. Depending on the model, the cabinet can accommodate 45–180 Bordeaux bottles. The shelf pitch is finely adjustable from 85–100 mm, allowing for smooth removal of both Burgundy bottle shoulders and Champagne bellies without interfering with the door seal.

Dual Temperature Control

The Shallow Wine Fridge's upper and lower zones cover 5–12°C and 12–18°C, respectively, with a temperature control accuracy of ±0.5°C. Utilizing dual evaporators and independent variable-speed fans, the temperature returns to the set point in less than 10 minutes after the door is opened for 60 seconds. The touchscreen interface supports switching between Celsius and Fahrenheit, as well as one-touch zone swapping. Night mode automatically reduces airflow and dims the lighting, and a door sensor activates to suspend the fan's backflow to prevent cold air from directly blowing onto the corks and causing them to dry out.

Constant Humidity Cork Protection

The Shallow Wine Fridge's target humidity is 55–75°C relative humidity, with a drift of no more than ±5°C. The visible water refill reservoir holds 1 liter, and an audible and visual indicator indicates low water levels, ensuring a safe lower limit. The condensation return system is equipped with an electronic humidification module for dynamic moisture balance. Silver ion ducting and activated carbon units reduce odors, and the door frame uses a 6-watt per meter micro-heating system to prevent fogging. This ensures that corks maintain their elasticity and seal even after extended storage, preventing bulging and curling of the wine labels. Low Noise and Quietness

High Color Rendering

The Shallow Wine Fridge's light strips are available in 3000 or 4000 color temperatures, with a color rendering index of at least 90, accurately displaying wine label details and wine color. Dual light paths on the sidewalls and ceiling prevent shadows on bottles, and the display shelves can be equipped with a 6-degree tilt tray for improved readability from a distance. A calendar-based timer program for the entire cabinet supports full brightness during peak display hours and percentage-based light retention at night, balancing visual appeal and energy efficiency.

Durable Construction

The Shallow Wine Fridge door frame and handles are available in brushed 304 stainless steel or anodized black aluminum. The side panels are color-coated and salt spray-resistant for at least 72 hours. The door hinges have a lifespan of 30,000 openings and closings and are interchangeable. Each shelf has a load capacity of 20–25 kg, and when fully extended, the position deviation is within 1 mm. Front-mounted adjustable feet with leveling pads make installation and leveling more intuitive. The glass has a UV rejection rating greater than 99%, ensuring it remains safe even in sunlight.

Smart and Safe

The Shallow Wine Fridge's touchscreen allows for centralized temperature, humidity, and lighting settings. Audible and visual notifications indicate overtemperature, water shortage, door opening timeout, and sensor anomalies. It features dual protections including a child lock and parameter lock. It automatically returns to the set value upon power outage and power-backup, and maintains a 30-day temperature and humidity log. Optional WiFi or RS485 interfaces allow for remote data recording and centralized inspections, meeting restaurant compliance and archiving requirements.

Shallow Wine Fridge Applications

Aisle End Display in Urban Restaurants and Taverns

Corner locations between the foyer and main dining area are often limited by aisle width. A shallow depth allows the cabinet's front edge to maintain a safe distance from traffic, preventing collisions. The upper section is set at 18 degrees Celsius for displaying red wines, while the lower section is chilled at 8 degrees Celsius for white and sparkling wines. The end light strips illuminate at full brightness on a timed basis to attract attention. During peak hours, the fan reheating logic prioritizes the lower section, ensuring that the front-of-house bottle loading and unloading flow does not conflict with the service aisle, ensuring a stable display surface during table turnover.

Shallow Back Counter Display in Small Bars

The distance from the back wall of the bar to the aisle is only 600 to 700 mm. Conventional depth models would compress wine access space. Shallow depth wine cabinets are installed against the wall, with a 110-degree door opening angle that avoids intrusion into the seating area. The shelves are angled for clear wine labels even in dimly lit environments. During evening hours, a night mode is activated to reduce fan speed and illumination. A soft start of the compressor eliminates low-frequency hum, allowing bartenders to maintain smooth communication and serve drinks quickly against the backdrop of music and vocals.

Open Kitchen Island Back Cabinets

The back of an island in a home or apartment typically consists of only the countertop and aisle-side activity areas. A shallow, deep front exhaust solution addresses heat dissipation limitations. The upper zone is set at 14 degrees Celsius for dinner wine accompaniment, while the lower zone is set at 5 degrees Celsius for short-term cooling of champagne. After pre-chilling for an hour before dinner, the temperature is maintained constant. Low-emissivity coating on the door reduces glare when lighting is multi-directional, and even during family dinners, the increased frequency of opening and closing does not affect the temperature profile. It serves as both a functional feature and a living room display.

End Shelves in a Boutique Supermarket's Imported Wine Section

End shelf corners require clear aisle width, allowing shallow cabinets to align with end fixtures without obstruction. Price tag rails and inventory cards are installed on the front edges of the shelves. The system manages country and category by layer, and replenishment is pushed from the back cabinet to the front on a first-in, first-out basis. During peak hours, a door sensor alarm limits door opening time. Fans accelerate temperature recovery after closing the door. Temperature and humidity logs within the cabinets are synchronized with camera coverage, ensuring both display compliance and replenishment efficiency.

Insert Position for Airport VIP Lounge Art Walls

VIP lounge decorative walls often have shallow recesses, making it difficult to flush with conventional deep cabinets. The shallow wine cabinet's front exhaust system and interchangeable left and right door hinges allow for seamless installation. The glass provides UV protection to protect corks and labels. During peak traffic, the system automatically increases the fan speed to maintain the desired temperature range due to frequent door openings. Door closing delays light shutoff to prevent flickering, and noise control ensures that it does not interfere with announcements or passenger conversations.

Yacht Garages and RV Kitchens

Boats and RVs are extremely sensitive to center of gravity and space. Shallow depth and low-noise construction reduce resonance during swinging. Buffered rails and anti-slip bottle holders maintain stability in waves and turbulence, and automatically restore settings after a 30-minute power outage. The front exhaust is mounted with zero clearance to the back wall, making it suitable for narrow garages. When switching from shore power to battery power, the compressor enters a low-speed strategy for longer-lasting operation.

Wine Education Classroom Backyard Storage Corner

Classrooms often use mobile display panels and tables and chairs for frequent switching. Shallow machines are placed against the wall to avoid pedestrian access. Classes are divided into two temperature zones based on themes. Full lighting is on for the first 15 minutes of the lecture, switching to low lighting during the lecture to minimize glare. The shelves are designed to withstand the load of full cases. After class, daily temperature and humidity curves are exported and archived. Bottle holders and shelf labels facilitate student identification of grape varieties and regions, making teaching more efficient.
