Details
The Euro Credenza Classic is what a serious collection looks like when it moves out of the closet and into the room. At 71 inches wide and credenza height, it holds 174 bottles under active climate control — not merely chilled, but properly managed for both temperature and humidity — while carrying the architectural details of fine furniture: crown and base molding, hardwood French doors, hand-carved trim and hand-turned pewter pulls finished in rich Cherry veneer. Designed by Pinnacle Award-winning designer Martin de Blois, it reads naturally against the millwork of a dining room or study rather than announcing itself as an appliance.
What separates a wine cabinet from a wine cooler is humidity management, and that distinction matters for anyone aging Bordeaux or Burgundy over years. The CellarPro cooling unit, made in the USA and backed by a five-year warranty, maintains the stable conditions long-term aging requires. Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and double-pane tinted glass handle thermal and UV protection from the outside in. The all-wood interlock racking runs 3.8-inch slots that fit oversized bottles without modification, and the rear-vent exhaust needs just 3–4 inches of wall clearance, so placement is flexible without an awkward gap.

Optional Extended Warranty
What These Specs Mean
- Running vs. Startup Amps: The startup amp figure reflects the brief current spike when the compressor engages; this determines the minimum dedicated circuit capacity needed to avoid tripping a breaker.
- CellarPro 1800QTL / 1800QT / 1800XT cooling unit options: These three variants differ in thermal load capacity and noise output - the appropriate choice depends on the ambient temperature of the room where the cabinet will be placed, and is determined using the Thermal Load Calculations link above.
Placement Requirements
PLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS
POWER REQUIREMENT:
The power cord extends 6 1/2 feet from the rear of the cabinet. If an extension cord is used, it should be 14-gauge wire or thicker, grounded, and as short as possible.
The cooling unit plugs into a standard grounded wall outlet. We recommend adding a surge protector, rated at 15 amps or more (for example, click here), to protect the cooling unit from power surges.
The outlet must be on a dedicated circuit. The components of the cooling unit draw 3 amps, and the electric outlet on the side of the cooling unit also is rated for 3 amps. The cooling unit should not, under any circumstances, share a circuit with another motor or compressor-based appliance, like a wine cooler, fridge, air conditioner, or garage opener.
FLOOR SURFACE
Because of the significant weight of your wine cabinet, it is important that it be placed on a hard surface; otherwise, the cabinet may become skewed if the doors settle unevenly over time. If you will be placing your cabinet on thick carpeting, consider placing a carpet board underneath the wine cabinet. You can purchase a carpet board from Le Cache, or you can have your local hardware store cut a 3/4 inch plywood board to the following dimensions: 45w x 25d (inches).
DOOR SWING CLEARANCE
The doors of our wine cabinets swing wide by approximately 1 inch when open at 90 degrees. The additional width should be accounted for when purchasing cabinets that do not have moldings because the stated widths of our wine cabinets do not account for the door swing. Please note that the additional width is required in front of the cabinet.
WEIGHT LOAD FACTOR
After loading your wine cabinet with wine bottles, it will be extremely heavy. When selecting a location for your cabinet, make sure that the floor underneath is strong enough to support the weight of the cabinet.
TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS
CellarPro cooling units are designed to handle temperatures ranging from 50 to 95F.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
The cooling unit generates hot air that must be exhausted in such a way that it won't be recirculated by the cooling unit. If the hot air cannot be dissipated or channeled properly, and the cooling unit is forced to recycle its own hot air, the cooling unit will be unable to maintain cold temperatures inside the wine cabinet and/or will overheat and/or will run all the time. Proper ventilation can be achieved in one of three ways:
- 1. UPRIGHT CABINETS WITH TOP-VENT CONFIGURATIONS
Our upright wine cabinets have been engineered with top-vent cooling units and SB/0 Technology so that they can be placed right up against the wall. In this configuration, the hot air generated by the cooling unit is ventilated through the top of the wine cabinet, and the return air comes from above the wine cabinet, so there must be clearance above and to the sides of the cabinets for the hot air to dissipate, as follows: - Contemporary wine cabinets, Carolina wine cabinets, Loft wine cabinets, Vault wine cabinets and a Semi-Custom wine cabinets require 18 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet.
- European Country wine cabinets and Mission wine cabinets require 12 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet.
- The sides always need to be open - in other words, placement in a corner, enclosed space, alcove, or closet will not work without our front-vent hood (see Configuration 3 below).
- 2. UPRIGHT CABINETS WITH Rear-Vent Configurations
Our upright wine cabinets can be configured so that the return air comes from behind the wine cabinet. This configuration is useful in situations where sufficient clearance around the wine cabinet doesn't exist. In this configuration: - If the rear of the wine cabinet is not accessible, a minimum clearance of 7 1/2 inches above the wine cabinet is required for removal and replacement of the cooling unit air filter.
- If the rear of the wine cabinet is accessible, a minimum clearance of 3 inches above the wine cabinet is required for proper airflow, and we recommend using our air deflector to direct the hot air exhaust to the left of the wine cabinet.
- In all cases, the wine cabinet must be placed 3-4 inches away from the rear wall.
- The sides always need to be open - in other words, placement in a corner, enclosed space, alcove, or closet will not work without our front-vent hood (see Configuration 3 below).
- 3. UPRIGHT CABINETS with Front-Vent Hoods
If you want to place the wine cabinet flush against the wall but you don't have the required clearance (as outlined in Configuration 1 above), or you want to place the wine cabinet in an enclosed space, closet, or alcove, our front-vent hood (placed on top of the wine cabinet) can be used with 7 1/2 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet for removal of the hood and the air filter. Please note: - Contemporary wine cabinets, Loft wine cabinets and Vault wine cabinets can use our front vent hood with OR without the decorative grill.
- European Country wine cabinets, Mission wine cabinets and Carolina wine cabinets can use our front vent hood without the decorative grill (the decorative grill will not fit with crown moldings).
4. CREDENZA WINE CABINETS
Credenza wine cabinets don't require any clearance above the wine cabinet; however, all credenzas require 3-4 inches of space behind the wine cabinet because all the ventilation (intake and exhaust) occurs behind the cabinet.
Bottle Capacity

| Credenza - Euro & Mission | 7 5 | 5 8 | 150 | 30 | 180 |
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.
Q&A
Is the Euro Credenza Classic freestanding or can it be built in?
A: The Euro Credenza Classic is a freestanding cabinet. It uses a rear-vent exhaust system that requires 3–4 inches of clearance behind the unit. It cannot be recessed or flanked without maintaining that rear airflow gap, so it functions best positioned against a wall with adequate space behind it — not in a fully enclosed cabinet opening.
What is the real bottle capacity, and will it fit oversized Bordeaux or Burgundy bottles?
A: Total capacity is 174 bottles: 150 bottles in racked slots at 3.8-inch spacing and approximately 24 bottles in bulk stacking space. The all-wood interlock racking is designed with universal sizing to accommodate oversized bottles, so larger-format Burgundy and heavier Bordeaux bottles fit without modification. The 3.8-inch slot width gives enough clearance for most standard and slightly oversized 750ml formats.
How does this cabinet manage humidity, and why does that matter for long-term aging?
A: The CellarPro cooling unit includes adjustable humidity control, which is a critical distinction from standard wine coolers and refrigerators. Conventional refrigeration units strip moisture from the air, drying out corks over time and allowing oxidation. The Euro Credenza actively manages humidity alongside temperature, making it appropriate for long-term storage and aging of fine wines — not just short-term chilling.
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. Running amperage is low across all three CellarPro cooling unit options: 2.4 Amps (1800QTL-ECX), 2.9 Amps (1800QT-ECX) or 3.0 Amps (1800XT-ECX). However, startup amps jump significantly — up to 20.1 Amps on the QT and XT models — so a dedicated 20-amp circuit is strongly recommended to avoid tripping a shared breaker during compressor startup.
What warranty does the Euro Credenza Classic carry?
A: The cabinet carries a 2-year warranty on the entire cabinet and a 5-year warranty on the CellarPro cooling unit. An optional extended warranty is also available for purchase. The cooling unit warranty is notably longer than most competitors because the CellarPro system is manufactured in the USA and designed specifically for wine cabinet applications.
What cooling unit options are available, and how do they differ?
A: Three CellarPro cooling units are offered for this cabinet: the 1800QTL-ECX (quietest, lowest running amps at 2.4A), the 1800QT-ECX (2.9A running) and the 1800XT-ECX (3.0A running). All three are energy-efficient US-made units with digital temperature and humidity control, Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes and audible/visual alarms. If low noise in a living or dining space is the priority, the QTL is the relevant starting point — Le Cache provides a dedicated sound performance chart to compare decibel levels across unit variants.
