Le Cache Euro 3800 Classic #749
Details
When a collection of several hundred bottles has moved beyond what a cooler or closet conversion can handle, the Euro 3800 is the kind of cabinet that resolves the problem for good. Designed by Pinnacle Award-winning designer Martin de Blois, it holds 458 bottles across 408 racked slots and a bulk storage section, housed in a Cherry wood veneer case with hardwood French doors, crown and base moldings, hand-carved wood trim and hand-turned pewter pulls with security locks. At 63" wide and 91" tall, it reads as furniture first — the kind of piece that earns its footprint in a dining room or a finished basement without looking like equipment.
The refrigeration is handled by a CellarPro cooling unit, which manages both temperature and humidity digitally — a meaningful distinction from wine coolers and standard refrigerators that cycle temperature without controlling moisture. Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and double-pane tinted glass seal the interior against thermal and UV intrusion, while SB/0™ technology allows the cabinet to sit flush against the wall with top-vent exhaust. The all-wood interlock racking has 3.8" slots that accommodate oversized bottles, and an energy-saver mode keeps operating costs in check over the long term.
Best For
- A collection of 300–458 bottles that has outgrown a single-zone cooler and needs a dedicated, humidity-controlled environment for long-term aging
- Placing a large-format storage unit in a dining room, great room or finished basement where appearance matters as much as function
- Collectors aging Bordeaux, Napa Cabernet or Rhône reds over several years who need consistent temperature and humidity rather than just chilling
- Situations where the unit must sit directly against a wall, where most cabinets with rear exhaust cannot be placed
Features
- SB/0™ Technology: The top-vent exhaust design allows the cabinet to sit flush against a wall with no side clearance required — relevant if you’re placing this in a finished room where wall offset would be a problem.
- Three CellarPro cooling unit configurations available (QTL, QT, XT): Each draws different running and startup amperage (2.4–3.0A running / 14.2–20.1A startup at 115V AC / 60 Hz), so verify your circuit capacity before ordering. Units are manufactured in the USA.
- Adjustable Humidity Control with audible and visual alarms: Active humidity management is what separates this from a wine cooler or refrigerator. The alarms flag temperature or humidity excursions so problems don’t go unnoticed between check-ins.
- Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes: Energy-Saver reduces compressor cycling during stable ambient conditions; Quick-Chill accelerates recovery after the doors are open for extended periods or after loading newly acquired bottles.
- Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation throughout the cabinet walls, combined with double-pane tinted glass, limits both heat transfer and UV exposure.
- All-wood interlock racks with 3.8-inch slots: Double-deep configuration accounts for 408 of the 458-bottle total capacity. The slot width accommodates oversized bottles (heavier Burgundy and Champagne formats) without modification.
- High Performance Air Filtration System built into the cooling unit circulates and filters interior air — reduces mold risk and keeps the interior environment stable over long aging periods.
- Hand-turned pewter pulls with integrated key locks on both doors
- Low-heat interior LED lighting
- Warranty: 5 years on the cooling system, 2 years on the cabinet; optional extended warranty available
Pairs Well With
- The optional bottle probe accessory, which measures temperature inside an actual bottle rather than cabinet air — useful for verifying that thermal conditions at the bottle level match what the thermostat displays

What These Specs Mean
- Running vs. Startup Amps: The compressor draws far more current at startup than during normal operation; the startup amp figure is what sets the minimum circuit breaker capacity your installation requires.
- Cooling Unit Selection (QTL / QT / XT): Three CellarPro models are available, each with different running and startup amp draws; the right model depends on your room's ambient temperature and heat load, which the Thermal Load Calculations guide is designed to help determine.

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
Can the Euro 3800 be placed flush against a wall, or does it need clearance behind it?
A: The Euro 3800 uses Le Cache's SB/0™ Technology, which means it can sit flush against a wall with zero rear clearance required. Exhaust vents through the top, so you only need overhead clearance above the cabinet — not behind it. This makes it practical for dining rooms, finished basements and alcove placements where pulling the unit away from the wall isn't an option.
What are the real bottle capacity numbers, and will it fit oversized Burgundy or Champagne bottles?
A: Total capacity is 458 bottles — 408 racked slots at 3.8-inch spacing and approximately 50 bottles in bulk stacking space. The all-wood interlock racks use a universal design that accommodates oversized bottles including large-format Burgundy and heavier Bordeaux shapes, so the 408-bottle racked count holds up better in practice than cabinets designed only for standard 750ml Bordeaux bottles.
Does this cabinet manage humidity, or is it just temperature control?
A: The Euro 3800 provides active humidity control in addition to temperature regulation — this is a key distinction from wine coolers and standard refrigerators, which cool but don't manage humidity. Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and double-pane tinted glass maintain the sealed environment, and the CellarPro unit includes an adjustable humidity control system. For long-term aging of Bordeaux, Burgundy or any wine with a natural cork, sustained humidity is what prevents the cork from drying out and allowing premature oxidation.
What are the electrical requirements, and does it need a dedicated circuit?
A: The cabinet runs on 115V AC / 60 Hz, standard US household current. Startup (inrush) amperage varies by cooling unit: the CellarPro 1800QTL-ECX draws 14.2 amps at startup and 2.4 amps running; the 1800QT-ECX draws 20.1 amps at startup and 2.9 amps running; the 1800XT-ECX draws 20.1 amps at startup and 3.0 amps running. Given the startup amp draw, a dedicated 20-amp circuit is the practical recommendation, particularly for the QT and XT variants.
What does the warranty actually cover, and for how long?
A: The warranty is structured in two tiers: 5 years on the CellarPro cooling unit and 2 years on the entire cabinet. An optional extended warranty is also available. The cooling unit warranty is notably longer than what most competitors offer on the refrigeration system, which is relevant given that the compressor is the most likely component to require service over a 10–20 year ownership period.
Is this a single-zone or dual-zone cabinet, and what temperature range does it maintain?
A: The Euro 3800 is a single-zone cabinet, meaning the entire interior is held at one temperature. It is designed and built specifically for long-term aging conditions rather than simultaneous red and white serving temperatures. The CellarPro cooling unit provides electronic thermostat control with a digital display, plus Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes. Collectors who want to store reds for aging and keep a smaller batch of whites at serving temperature typically pair a cabinet like this with a separate smaller cooler for ready-to-drink bottles.

Great choice! I have recommended this unit to several others. I echo others' comments to "get a bigger unit than you think you might need."
Awesome

It's an awesome piece of furniture, and it's great to be able to pull a bottle and have it be the perfect temp. Not to mention all our friends are jealous now!
It looks fantastic!

It looks fantastic! Le Cache was unknown to me before I started shopping - your website was great - you have the best marketing and/or the best product on the market - I think both - your website info sold me!
