Schmick - JC165B – Under Bench Dual Zone Beer & Wine Bar Fridge – 165 Litres

The Schmick JC165B is the perfect under-bench fridge for beer and wine lovers who value style, function, and quiet operation. Designed specifically for indoor entertaining spaces, this sleek dual-zone bar fridge offers independently controlled temperatures for your beer and wine collections—keeping your brews crisp between 2°C and 12°C and your wines perfectly chilled from 8°C to 18°C.

Featuring smooth slide-out shelving and subtle, soft LED lighting, it blends seamlessly under your counter while providing easy access to your favourite drinks. The shelving is designed for standard Bordeaux-style bottles (78-82mm) but can be swapped between wine racks and flat chromed shelves to accommodate beer cans or bottles with ease.

Its quiet Noctua fans and tempered LOW E glass door prevent condensation and ensure this unit won’t disturb your home’s atmosphere. The fridge vents at the front, making it an ideal built-in solution without compromising on performance or style.
