Allavino VSW11955S 119-Bottle Wine Refrigerator

Single-zone models (VSW11955S-1SL, -1SR, -1BL, -1BR) maintain one temperature throughout the entire cabinet — ideal for collectors who store one type of wine or keep everything at the same temperature. Dual-zone models (VSW11955D-2SL, -2SR, -2BL, -2BR) have two independently controlled temperature zones in the same cabinet, so you can store reds and whites or sparkling wines at their respective optimal temperatures simultaneously. All variants share the same exterior dimensions and capacity.

Up to 119 bottles of standard Bordeaux-size wine across 10 glide-out shelves. Capacity will vary with larger or non-standard bottle shapes such as Burgundy, Champagne, or magnum formats.

All variants can be precisely set anywhere from 41°F to 64°F using the digital control panel. This range covers long-term cellar storage temperatures for red wines (typically 55–65°F) and whites chilled closer to serving temperature. Tru-Vino Technology works to keep the actual temperature near the set point with minimal fluctuation between cooling cycles.

Yes. All VSW11955S variants are front-venting, meaning heat exhausts from the front rather than the sides or rear. This allows flush installation in cabinetry without requiring side clearance gaps. The unit also works perfectly freestanding anywhere in a room. When planning a built-in installation, account for the full depth with handle (28.5") and confirm your preferred hinge direction opens toward the room rather than into a wall or adjacent cabinet.

It depends on the variant. Single-zone models have a fixed hinge and are not field-reversible — choose your hinge direction (left or right) before purchasing and select accordingly above. Dual-zone models are field-reversible, meaning the hinge can be changed after delivery. In all cases, left-hinge and right-hinge variants are both available in this listing for all zone and door-finish combinations.

The stainless steel framed door has a classic, fingerprint-resistant brushed finish that integrates naturally with stainless appliance suites or lighter cabinetry. The black metal framed door has an all-black seamless profile that creates strong visual contrast with lighter decors and a dramatic, cellar-like aesthetic. Both doors feature the same tinted low-emissivity UV-protective glass and are structurally identical in all other respects. Cabinet body color is black on all variants regardless of door finish.

Tru-Vino is Allavino's proprietary temperature management system. It combines an ultra-low-vibration, energy-efficient compressor with fan-forced air circulation to dramatically reduce the temperature swings and humidity fluctuations that occur between cooling cycles in standard compressor coolers. Consistent temperature and stable humidity are the two most important environmental conditions for protecting wine over months and years — wide swings stress bottles and accelerate aging prematurely, which matters most to collectors storing wine long-term rather than just chilling it for immediate use.

FlexCount is Allavino's exclusive shelving system. Each of the 10 shelves rides on roller-glide assemblies so it pulls out fully and smoothly — you can reach any bottle, including those at the very back, without moving others. Shelves are removable and repositionable so you can clear a row for larger-format bottles or reorganize the interior at any time. Wood slats on each shelf cradle bottles securely and are engineered to absorb vibration, protecting sediment-sensitive wines from agitation during long-term aging.

Yes. All variants feature a tinted low-emissivity (low-E) glass door that blocks UV radiation — the primary cause of "light strike," an off-flavor condition that can develop in bottles exposed to fluorescent or daylight. The low-E coating also provides additional insulation, reducing internal temperature fluctuation when ambient room temperature changes.

The Reserva LED system provides 8 static color options plus a full-cycle mode that rotates through all available colors automatically. The LED strips are flush-mounted to the interior wall to avoid taking up shelf space. Unlike incandescent bulbs, LED lighting produces no heat, so your set temperature is unaffected by how long the light stays on.

Yes. All VSW11955S variants include a keyed door lock, useful in households with children, shared entertainment spaces, or commercial settings where access control is needed.

All variants require a standard 115V / 60 Hz outlet and draw 1.1 amps during operation — within the capacity of a standard US household circuit. A dedicated circuit is always recommended for refrigeration appliances to avoid nuisance tripping.

All variants use R600A (isobutane), a natural refrigerant with a very low global warming potential compared to the HFC refrigerants used in older appliances. R600A also contributes to the exceptionally quiet and energy-efficient operation of the compressor.

No. All VSW11955S variants are designed for indoor use only. They are not rated for outdoor installation and should not be exposed to weather, direct sunlight, or ambient temperatures exceeding 90°F.

These units do not include a heater. If the room temperature falls below your set storage temperature, the interior will eventually match the room rather than hold the set point. Avoid installation in unheated garages, basements, or spaces where winter temperatures may drop below your desired wine storage temperature.

Allavino provides a 1-year limited warranty covering parts and labor from the original purchase date, plus a 5-year limited warranty on the compressor (parts only; labor and freight charges in years 2–5 are the owner's responsibility). The warranty applies to the original purchaser in the contiguous USA and does not transfer with resale. In rental or commercial use, the standard warranty is 90 days and the compressor coverage is approximately 1 year and 9 months. Full terms are in the owner's manual.

No. The towel bar handle ships unattached and must be installed when the unit arrives. This is standard for freight-shipped wine refrigerators. Installation is straightforward with basic tools; instructions are included in the owner's manual.

At 256 lbs shipping weight, this wine refrigerator ships via standard freight carrier with curbside delivery — the carrier brings it to your door, but placement inside your home is your responsibility. We strongly recommend having two people available to receive and move the unit. White glove delivery (inside placement and unpacking) is available as an upgrade — contact Deck & Den for current rates.

Inspect the packaging and unit for shipping damage before signing the carrier's delivery receipt, and note any damage on the receipt before signing. Once inside, allow the unit to stand upright for at least a few hours before plugging it in — this lets refrigerant and compressor oil settle after transport. Then attach the handle, plug into a 115V outlet, and set your desired temperature using the digital control panel.

No. The VSW11955S series is not compatible with custom overlay panels. If panel-ready integration is a priority for your project, Allavino offers panel-ready configurations in other Reserva series models. Contact Deck & Den and we can help identify the right option for your cabinetry design.
