Two independent temperature zones for wine storage
This Smeg under-counter wine cooler features two completely independent temperature zones, allowing you to set the required temperature for red wines, still white wines and/or sparkling wines. Independent temperature and light zones help provide suitable storage conditions for different wine types in one appliance.
Designed to protect every bottle
The UV-protected door glass helps shield bottles from light entering the wine cooler, supporting impeccable wine storage. A low-vibration compressor also helps avoid prolonged vibration exposure that could compromise wine quality.
An activated charcoal air filter helps maintain excellent air quality inside the cabinet and is easy to maintain. Telescopic sliding guides allow wine bottles to be extracted easily and conveniently.
Clear visibility and accurate control
Multi-level LED lighting provides clear visibility throughout the interior, while using LED lights to illuminate your collection. The touch display makes temperature management inside the refrigerated compartment easy and accurate.

How many bottles can the Smeg CVI638RN3 hold?
The Smeg CVI638RN3 has space for up to 38 standard 75cl wine bottles. Its 114-litre capacity makes it a strong choice for storing a varied home wine collection without taking up full-height cabinet space.
Does the Smeg CVI638RN3 have dual temperature zones?
Yes. The Smeg CVI638RN3 has two independently controlled temperature zones, so you can store different wine types at separate settings. This is useful for keeping reds, still whites and sparkling wines in the same appliance.

Each zone can be set within a 5°C to 20°C temperature range. This gives you flexibility to choose suitable serving or storage temperatures for your collection.

Yes. This model is designed for built-in under-counter installation in an 82-87cm niche. The appliance measures 595mm wide and 566mm deep without the handle, so we would recommend checking your cabinet opening, ventilation requirements and door clearance before installation.
Which way does the door open on the Smeg CVI638RN3?
The Smeg CVI638RN3 has a right-hand hinged door. This means the door is hinged on the right-hand side when facing the appliance and opens towards the left.

This model includes UV-protected door glass to help reduce light exposure, a low-vibration compressor to minimise prolonged vibration, and an activated charcoal filter to help maintain air quality inside the cabinet.
Does the Smeg CVI638RN3 have wooden shelves?
Yes. The wine cooler includes five wooden shelves, made up of three removable shelves and two fixed shelves. The removable shelves use telescopic guide rails, helping you access bottles more easily and securely.
Does the Smeg CVI638RN3 have interior lighting?
Yes. It uses LED interior lighting for clear multi-level visibility across the cabinet. The lighting makes it easier to view your collection while keeping energy use lower than conventional interior lights.
How do you control the temperature on the Smeg CVI638RN3?
The Smeg CVI638RN3 uses electronic touch controls with an LED display inside the wine compartment. The display shows the temperature value and provides temperature and door-open alarm functions.

The Smeg CVI638RN3 has an energy efficiency rating of G and an annual energy consumption of 140kWh. This should be considered when comparing it with other built-in wine coolers.
Are there any suitable alternatives to the Smeg CVI638RN3 Dolce Stil Novo Built-In Under-Counter Wine Cooler I could consider?
Yes, you could consider the Smeg CVI329X3 Classic Built-In Wine Cooler as a lower-capacity, lower-priced same-brand built-in under-counter option. It provides two temperature zones, a reversible door and space for up to 29 bottles, making it suitable where a smaller collection and stainless-steel Classic styling are preferred.
Alternatively, the Smeg CVI338RX3 Classic Built-In Wine Cooler Right Hinge is the closest like-for-like option for a right-hinged 82–87cm installation. It retains the 38-bottle, 114L, dual-zone configuration but offers Smeg Classic stainless-steel styling rather than the black Dolce Stil Novo finish.
