- This wine cellar has a strikingly modern design comprising of a black cabinet and stainless-steel door with tube-type handle. The door features UV protected tinted glass to keep wines safe from the sun’s rays.

- The interior light softly illuminates the interior to give you a good view of your wines. The light can be turned on/off using the switch on the control panel.
- Inside the door, a blue LED display shows a clear readout of the operating temperature. The internal temperature can be set via 1 degree increments using the user-friendly control panel inside the door. There are dedicated buttons for Red wines and White wines so you can quickly pre-set the unit to the right temperature.

Summary
The Aficionado C333R is a stylish, well featured wine cellar with an excellent wine storage capacity to house 50 bottles. Despite being a compressor based unit, the operating sound level is below 50 db so it’s very quiet, which is a plus point.
Its built-in capability is desirable for those who want to integrate their wine cellar into their kitchen. I rate this as a good buy if you have a large wine collection and want the versatility of built-in use.
