Details

When a collection has grown past the point where a cooler or closet conversion can keep up, the Euro 3800 is the answer. Designed by Pinnacle Award-winning designer Martin de Blois, it holds 458 bottles — 408 in all-wood interlock racks and roughly 50 in bulk — and delivers genuine cellar conditions through an advanced CellarPro cooling unit with digital temperature and adjustable humidity control. The chocolate cherry finish, hand-carved trim and hardwood French doors with double-pane tinted glass make this a serious piece of furniture, not just an appliance.

The engineering behind it is what separates it from wine coolers and standard refrigerators. Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and sealed seams maintain thermal stability, while SB/0™ technology allows the cabinet to sit flush against the wall with top-vent exhaust — no clearance gap required. The CellarPro unit runs quietly, offers Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes and includes audible and visual alarms if conditions drift. Universal racking accommodates oversized bottles, so heavier Burgundy formats sit just as securely as a standard Bordeaux.

Best For

  • Storing a mixed cellar of 300–450 bottles in a dining room, finished basement or second home where the cabinet needs to look like furniture
  • Long-term aging of Bordeaux, Burgundy or Napa Cabernet where humidity management — not just temperature — matters for cork health over years
  • Collectors who have outgrown a single-zone cooler and need verified cellar conditions without a full renovation
  • Placing a large-format cabinet flush to a wall where rear-exhaust clearance is not available

Features

  • SB/0™ Zero-Clearance Technology: The cooling unit exhausts through the top of the cabinet, so no rear or side clearance is required. The unit sits flush against a wall, making it a practical choice for dining rooms, finished basements or tight alcoves.
  • 458-bottle capacity with double-deep racking: 408 slots are racked at 3.8-inch centers (wide enough for Burgundy, Champagne and other oversized formats) plus approximately 50 bottles in a bulk stacking area. Slot count and configuration are visible with the doors open.
  • Three CellarPro cooling unit options (all US-made): The 1800QTL-ECX, 1800QT-ECX and 1800XT-ECX differ in startup amp draw and cooling capacity — a selection guide is available to match the unit to your room's thermal load. Running draw starts at 2.4 amps on the QTL model.
  • Adjustable humidity control with digital display: The CellarPro unit manages both temperature and humidity actively, unlike wine coolers or refrigerators. An electronic thermostat with digital readout lets you dial in conditions for long-term aging rather than just short-term chilling.
  • Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes: Energy-Saver reduces operating costs during steady-state storage; Quick-Chill brings a newly added batch down to target temperature faster. Audible and visual alarms trigger if conditions move outside set parameters.
  • Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation combined with double-pane tinted glass provides both thermal mass and UV protection throughout the cabinet walls and doors.
  • High Performance Air Filtration System removes particulates and odors from the interior air supply.
  • Keyed security locks on both doors; hand-turned pewter pulls; low-heat LED interior lighting; optional bottle probe for precise internal temperature monitoring
  • Warranty: 5 years on the cooling system, 2 years on the cabinet; optional extended warranty available

What These Specs Mean

  • Running vs. Startup Amps: Startup amps reflect the peak draw at compressor ignition — the 1800QTL-ECX peaks at 14.2 amps while the QT and XT models reach 20.1 amps, which determines the minimum dedicated circuit capacity required for safe installation.
  • Cooling Unit Options (QTL / QT / XT): The three CellarPro units represent different heat-load handling tiers; the correct choice depends on your room's ambient temperature and insulation conditions — use the Thermal Load Calculations guide to match the unit to your installation environment.

Please note:
(1) We count the top of the racks as 1 row when counting rows in our racks.
(2) Every slot in the racks is 3 3/4" and sized to fit oversized Burgundy and most Champagne-size bottles.
(3) Bulk storage is located atop the racks (except for the first row atop the racks). Bulk storage capacity is based on Bordeaux-size bottles.
(4) Total capacity is the sum of racked plus bulk capacity, with double-deep storage in all cases except the Contemporary Credenza (which is single-deep). Usable capacity may be lower by 2-3 bottles when the first few cells under the cooling unit are left empty for proper air circulation.

FAQs

Is the Euro 3800 freestanding or can it be built in?

A: The Euro 3800 is a freestanding cabinet. Le Cache’s SB/0™ Technology allows it to sit flush against the wall because the cooling unit exhausts heat through the top vent rather than the rear — no clearance gap behind the unit is required. It is not designed for a recessed built-in installation. At 63” wide x 31” deep x 91” tall and 510 lbs, plan your room layout and door clearances carefully before delivery.

What is the actual bottle capacity, and will it hold larger-format Burgundy or Napa Cabernet bottles?

A: Total capacity is 458 bottles: 408 racked slots sized at 3.8-inch openings and approximately 50 bottles of bulk stacked storage. The all-wood interlock racks use a universal design specifically sized to accommodate oversized bottles, so heavier Burgundy pinots, thick-shouldered Napa Cabernets and similarly large formats fit without modification. Standard Bordeaux bottles have even more room to spare.

Does this cabinet actively control humidity, or is it just a refrigerated cooler?

A: Active humidity control is a core feature, not an afterthought. The CellarPro cooling unit includes adjustable humidity control with a dedicated performance chart available from Le Cache. Standard wine coolers and household refrigerators cycle out moisture as a byproduct of cooling — the Euro 3800 manages both temperature and humidity simultaneously, which is what separates a true aging cabinet from a short-term chiller. This matters most for collections intended for multi-year cellaring where cork integrity is critical.

What are the electrical requirements, and which CellarPro cooling unit should I choose?

A: The cabinet runs on a standard 115V AC / 60 Hz circuit — no dedicated high-voltage line required. Three CellarPro unit options are available: the 1800QTL-ECX (2.4A running / 14.2A startup), the 1800QT-ECX (2.9A running / 20.1A startup) and the 1800XT-ECX (3.0A running / 20.1A startup). The right choice depends on the ambient temperature and insulation of the room where the cabinet will live — Le Cache provides a Thermal Load Calculations guide to walk through that selection. Note that startup amp draw can be significant, so confirm your circuit breaker rating before installation.

What does the warranty cover and for how long?

A: The warranty has two distinct terms: 5 years on the CellarPro cooling unit and 2 years on the cabinet itself. An optional extended warranty is also available for purchase. The cooling unit warranty is notably longer than most competitors because CellarPro units are manufactured in the USA and Le Cache backs them separately from the cabinet structure.

How loud is the Euro 3800 in a living space like a dining room?

A: Le Cache markets this generation of cabinets as featuring the most advanced and quietest CellarPro cooling units available. CellarPro publishes detailed sound performance data for each 1800-series unit — the 1800QTL-ECX has the lowest running amperage (2.4A) and is generally the quietest option among the three. For a dining room or open living area where noise is a concern, the QTL variant is worth reviewing against the published decibel specs before finalizing your cooling unit selection.

We couldn't be happier!

Robert W.| 4/10/2007 12:00:00 am

We couldn't be happier with the looks, workmanship quality, and quiet performance. The only problem is consumption vs acquisition capacity exceeds our ability to accumulate bottles (lol)! We have about 120 bottles so we have 350 vacancies.....

Very beautiful

James L.| 12/28/2007 12:00:00 am

The wine cabinet I ordered seems to be working just fine and is a very beautiful and unobtrusive addition to the room it is in. It has only been about a month. but so far I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase of your wine cabinet.

Love the wine cabinet

Steve S.| 2/2/2007 12:00:00 am

Love the wine cabinet, best thing I have ever done, well almost.

The Right Decision

Terry S| 7/11/2011 12:00:00 am

The best compliment that I can give is that I would make the same decision again, buying from Le Cache was the right decision.

Great Unit

Rob E.| 12/9/2011 12:00:00 am

Great unit, even more beautiful in person, you will be happy. Seemed to get to temperature within just a few hours empty, although I did not start mine up until sitting flat for 24 hours since it was sideways while getting through my door.

Be careful not to assume it will be white glove unloaded just anywhere. I originally wanted to put in the basement and was told it could be delivered there, Lucky for me I changed my mind before they arrived and found a better spot on first floor. However they mentioned had I not changed my mind they would not have brought it down the stairs. Also check dimensions not only where you will put it but front door and hallways to get it where you want before ordering. It comes boxed so you will want to allow a little more room too. It was tight but I was ok as it turned out.

Mine was delivered with a chip on the front rack but because they came out right away to replace the rack I was very happy with the service, and it was not a big deal.
Since I just got it I can't speculate on its longevity but seems very well built with a solid looking cooling unit.

Since I have it in a living area I was concerned about the sound. So I got the sound dampener with top exhaust and although it wasn't extremely noisy without it, I would recommend getting a dampener unless you are putting in a noisy room. Lastly I would buy a clock outlet or replug it with a flat plug because the plug it comes with is pretty fat (deep) and I bought the top vent so I could cut it into the baseboard and be flat to the wall and this caused an issue for me. If your plug is to the side of the unit you will only need to worry about the cord thickness.
