The Liebherr WKb 1812 Vinothek is for collectors who want a well-known German appliance brand and a sizeable 134 litre freestanding cabinet. It stands out in our freestanding comparison for its broad 5 to 20 °C span, which reaches higher than most rivals and lets you hold reds at a gentle cellar temperature. The listing itself is brief, so this review sets out what is confirmed and what is not.

In its favour

  • The 134 litre capacity is the largest of the freestanding cabinets compared here.
  • A 5 to 20 °C range and SN to ST climate classes are listed in the title.
  • The listing states 230 V and a key lock.

Good to know

  • No bottle count, dimensions or energy figure in the listing, so check Liebherr's data sheet.
  • At 45 kg it needs two people to move and a firm, level floor.

Our take

What Amazon confirms

The title gives a freestanding black cabinet with a 5 to 20 °C range, button controls and climate classes SN and ST. The specs add 134 litres of capacity, a key lock, three racks, two sections, automatic defrost, a glossy finish, a 230 volt supply and a weight of 45 kg.

The two sections listed in the specs suggest the interior is split, but the listing does not say whether each section has its own temperature control. Treat it as a single setting unless Liebherr's product sheet says otherwise.

Climate class and placement

Climate classes describe the room temperatures an appliance is designed for. SN and ST together suggest it is meant for rooms from fairly cool to warm, which fits most UK homes, including a garage that stays above freezing in winter. It is freestanding, so leave space around it for air.

What the listing leaves blank

There are no external dimensions, no bottle count, no stated cooling technology, no noise level and no annual energy figure. Three racks for 134 litres is a fairly open layout, which may suit larger bottles, but you cannot judge the bottle capacity without the shelf design.

Measured against the JKJZSALJ and the GrandCru

The JKJZSALJ 33-bottle cabinet states a bottle count, a 5 to 18 °C range and a security lock, though it also leaves out its dimensions and energy use. The Liebherr UWKes 1752 GrandCru is a little smaller at 110 litres and lists compressor cooling with 145 kWh a year. Between the two Liebherrs, the WKb 1812 offers more volume and a lock in the specs.

For a buyer who values the badge and a mains-ready supply over a long spec sheet, that is a reasonable trade. Anyone who likes to compare running costs should ask Liebherr for the energy label before ordering.

Verdict

Pick the Liebherr WKb 1812 Vinothek if you want a large, lockable cabinet from an established maker with a wide 5 to 20 °C span and a UK mains supply. If you want a stated bottle count, the JKJZSALJ 33-bottle cabinet spells one out, and the Liebherr UWKes 1752 GrandCru suits buyers who want a stated energy figure.
