The KitchenAid® KUWR524SBE undercounter wine cellar is a premium solution for serious wine enthusiasts who want restaurant‑style storage seamlessly integrated into their kitchen or bar. Designed for a built‑in look, its 24" width tucks neatly into standard cabinetry while the sophisticated Black Ore finish and metal reach‑through handle add a modern, furniture‑like presence. Behind the UV‑protected thermal glass door, this unit offers a generous 46‑bottle capacity, giving you ample room to organize everyday favorites and special‑occasion vintages in one dedicated space without sacrificing style or floor area.
What truly sets the KUWR524SBE apart is its dual‑zone temperature system, allowing you to store reds and whites at their ideal serving conditions in the same cabinet. The upper zone is optimized for cooler settings perfect for white wines, while the lower zone accommodates the slightly warmer temperatures preferred by reds, each controlled independently through intuitive backlit touch controls. A sophisticated Temperature Monitoring System constantly checks internal conditions and alerts you with an over‑temperature alarm and indicator light if temperatures rise above safe levels for an extended period, providing peace of mind that your collection is being protected even when you’re not at home.
Inside, SatinGlide® full‑extension wood‑front racks glide smoothly all the way out, making it easy to view labels, access bottles at the back, and restock without disturbing the rest of your collection. The wood fronts bring a warm, furniture‑grade look that coordinates beautifully with surrounding cabinetry. Motion‑activated LED lighting gently illuminates the interior as you approach, so you can check inventory or select a bottle without even opening the door; the lights then gradually dim and turn off to help preserve wine quality and reduce energy use. Thoughtful details like a door‑ajar alarm, Sabbath Mode (Star‑K Certified) for observant households, and automatic defrost round out a feature set that goes beyond typical undercounter coolers. With its combination of precise dual‑zone control, advanced monitoring, premium rack system, and fully flush built‑in design, the KitchenAid® KUWR524SBE delivers a level of performance and refinement that stands out in the world of compact wine refrigeration.
