Just 6" wide to convert any undercounter opening into a fully featured wine station with optimum temperature control. Summit lets you transform even the slimmest undercounter space into a fully functional wine cellar with our 6 inch wide SWC008SS.
Designed for built-in installation, the SWC008SS features a front-breathing compressor-based cooling system to ensure proper wine temperature is maintained. The reversible stainless steel door comes with a European-style fully articulating hinge for zero clearance opening. The door is fully finished with a seamless stainless steel trim over a glass window. This unit has a right angle plug and sealed rear for added space savings.
Inside, the SWC008SS features a digital thermostat with easy touch controls and a temperature readout that can be viewed in Celsius or Fahrenheit. The temperature can be set between 41 and 72ºF to suit red or white wine. Seven slots let you store wine bottles with ease. The floor is set at a slight angle, ideal for holding an open bottle. This unit is equipped with an open door and high temperature alarm for added assurance. The Sabbath mode setting allows you to disable certain electrical features during periods of observance. The commercial grade compressor operates quietly, keeping the sound levels under 34 dB.

The unit stands out for its ultra-slim 6-inch design, making it ideal for converting narrow, unused spaces into dedicated wine storage. It operates quietly at under 34 dB, allowing it to blend seamlessly into kitchens and living areas without disruption. Compressor-based cooling with electronic controls delivers precise temperature management from 41–72°F for both red and white wines, while an interior fan promotes even airflow. A refined built-in look is achieved through stainless steel trim, double-pane glass, and a European-style hinge, complemented by thoughtful features such as audible door and temperature alarms, Sabbath mode, a reversible door, a right-angle plug, and an angled floor that conveniently holds a single open bottle. However, its very limited capacity makes it suitable only for a small personal collection, it is not Energy Star rated, and the single-zone design restricts flexibility for storing different wine types at separate temperatures.
