Convenient Electronic Door Opening
The innovative E MOTION Electronic Opening System unlocks the door smoothly with a light touch on the glass. This provides effortless access to your wine, even when your hands are full, while activating the interior lighting.
Protected Storage for Your Wine Collection
The UV-protected glass door helps shield bottles from damaging light, supporting impeccable wine storage. Crisp LED lighting delivers clear, multi-level visibility throughout the wine cooler, making it easy to view your collection.
A low-vibration compressor reduces prolonged movement that could affect the wine’s evolution, helping to preserve its integrity and character over time. The activated charcoal air filter maintains excellent air quality within the appliance and is easy to maintain.
Flexible Shelving and Precise Temperature Control
Removable sliding beech shelves offer a practical and elegant way to store your bottles, paying homage to traditional winemaking. Telescopic sliding guides allow bottles to be extracted easily and conveniently.
Discreet internal touch controls and a touch display make temperature management simple and accurate within the refrigerated compartment. With one carefully engineered storage zone, this Smeg built-in wine cooler provides a considered solution for keeping your bottles organised and protected.

Frequently Asked Questions About the CVI120B3E
How many bottles can the Smeg CVI120B3E hold?
The Smeg CVI120B3E has space for up to 20 standard 750ml wine bottles. Its 56-litre interior is designed to accommodate a variety of bottle shapes, although larger or unusually shaped bottles may reduce the total capacity.
Is the Smeg CVI120B3E a built-in wine cooler?
Yes. The Smeg CVI120B3E is a built-in 45cm wine cooler from the Linea range, designed for installation within a compatible kitchen cabinet housing. The appliance measures 457mm high, 596mm wide and 560mm deep.
Does this wine cooler have separate temperature zones?
No. The Smeg CVI120B3E has one adjustable temperature zone, making it a good choice for storing one main style of wine or keeping a single collection at a consistent temperature. The temperature can be set electronically from 5°C to 20°C.
How is the temperature controlled?
This model uses internal touch controls and an LED display for straightforward, accurate temperature management. It also includes temperature and door-open alarms to help protect your stored wine.
Does the Smeg CVI120B3E protect wine from UV light?
Yes. The full-glass door uses double-glazed, anti-UV glass to help reduce exposure to damaging light. This makes the Smeg CVI120B3E well suited to storing bottles where presentation and protection are equally important.
Is the wine cooler quiet?
The Smeg CVI120B3E uses a low-vibration compressor, designed to minimise prolonged movement around stored bottles. Its listed noise level is 37dB, helping it remain discreet in an open-plan kitchen or living area.
What type of shelves does the Smeg CVI120B3E have?
The interior includes two removable beech shelves on telescopic sliding guides, plus one fixed beech shelf. The sliding shelves make it easier to access bottles without disturbing the rest of your collection.
Does the Smeg CVI120B3E have interior lighting?
Yes. It features LED interior lighting for clear visibility across the cabinet. The lighting is activated through the E MOTION door-opening system, helping you view your collection without adding unnecessary heat.
How does the E MOTION electronic door opening work?
The Smeg CVI120B3E has an E MOTION electronic opening system. A light touch on the glass activates the mechanism and releases the door slightly, allowing you to complete the opening by hand. This provides a clean, handle-free appearance that complements modern Linea kitchens.
Can the door hinge be changed?
Yes. Although the Smeg CVI120B3E is supplied with a right-hand hinge position, the door is reversible. This gives greater flexibility when planning your kitchen installation.
Does this wine cooler include an air filter?
Yes. The Smeg CVI120B3E includes an activated charcoal air filter to help maintain air quality within the cabinet and support an appropriate storage environment for your wine collection.
What is the energy rating of the Smeg CVI120B3E?
The Smeg CVI120B3E has an F energy efficiency rating and an annual energy consumption of 100kWh.
Are there any suitable alternatives to the Smeg CVI120B3E Built In 45cm Linea Wine Cooler in Black I could consider?
Yes. For a similar 45 cm built-in installation, consider the Smeg CVI321X3 Classic Built In Wine Cooler as a slightly lower-priced same-brand alternative. It retains the 45 cm built-in niche format, 56L capacity, single temperature zone, reversible door, UV-protective glass, wooden sliding shelves and charcoal filter, but has Smeg’s Classic stainless-steel styling rather than the black Linea finish.
Where a taller installation space is available, the Smeg CVI329X3 Classic Built In Wine Cooler is the higher-capacity option, increasing storage to 29 bottles / 79L and adding dual temperature zones. Please note that it is taller than the CVI120B3E, so it is not a like-for-like replacement for a 45 cm niche.
