The Schmick SK168D sets a new standard in wine storage, combining sophisticated design with practical engineering for serious wine enthusiasts. This upright, ultra-slim fridge boasts a shallow 395mm depth — perfect for tight spaces, built-in cabinetry, or man caves where every centimetre counts.
Engineered with dual temperature zones, it keeps your reds and whites perfectly chilled: the top zone ranges from 5°C to 15°C, ideal for delicate whites and sparkling, while the bottom zone cools between 7°C and 18°C, preserving the richness of your reds. This flexibility means your collection is always at its best, ready to impress guests or enjoy on your own terms.
Powered by a quiet, front-venting system and equipped with a high-efficiency EMBRACO ECO inverter compressor, this fridge delivers strong cooling performance while keeping energy use low. Set the mood with your choice of five dimmable LED colours—white, red, orange, blue, or green—creating an atmosphere that suits any occasion.
The lockable, triple-glazed LOW E glass door resists condensation, maintaining a clear view of your collection. Included wall brackets ensure stability—critical for this slim design to prevent tipping when the door’s open. With 14 slide-out telescopic shelves holding four bottles each and 27 height adjustments available, it’s as versatile as it is refined.
This fridge is built to impress and designed to last—making it an essential feature for any modern home bar or gift for the discerning wine lover.
