Summit's collection of premium wine cellars brings full functionality, convenience, and elevated style to kitchens and home bars with unique space limitations. The SDHWC98 is a 24" wide dual zone wine cellar that features a front-breathing design for built-in installation. Sized at just 18" deep, this wine cellar offers slim-fitting elegance, perfect for narrow home bars and kitchen corners, converted spaces, restaurants with limited real estate, or other spots where you can't fit a full-depth unit. Seamless stainless steel trim blends smoothly into the reversible, gently tinted glass door for an elevated look, with a professional stainless steel handle included. This unit has a sealed rear and right-angle cord for a better fit. The fully articulating European-style hinge design ensures smoother opening. A lock is located in the kickplate for added convenience and security. Inside, model SDHWC98 includes a stainless steel rear wall for improved durability and sanitation. Tri-colored LED lighting featuring amber, blue, and white options offers elegant display conditions with dimmable levels that let you create the perfect presentation. The easy-to-use digital control panel allows you to manage the upper temperature chamber between 41 and 50F for white or sparkling wine, while the lower zone is designed to store red wine between 50 and 64F. Fan-forced cooling ensures even temperature distribution and fast temperature recovery. This unit features black wire finish shelving with stainless steel front trim. The shelves are full-extension and set on ball-bearing glides for smooth loading. Optimal storage capacity accommodates up to 98 standard 750ml Bordeaux or Burgundy style bottles (note: your capacity may vary depending on the bottle style). Model SDHWC98 has two different running modes: Silent mode, which minimizes vibrations to lower noise emissions and creates a more stable storage environment, ideal for preserving your wine's quality. The second, DynaClima mode, optimizes both temperature and humidity distribution for long-term wine storage, mimicking the conditions of a traditional wine storage cabinet. Additional features include a temperature memory function to restore set temperature in the case of power loss and Sabbath mode, which disables certain functions during periods of religious observance. A built-in alarm audibly warns if the door is left ajar or if the unit rises or falls out of the recommended temperature range. T With its uniquely shallow depth, elegant design, and premium features, the SDHWC98 brings true luxury to residential kitchen spaces. For this unit with a panel-ready door trim, see model SDHWC98PNR.

Brand Background
Summit Appliance, a division of Felix Storch, Inc., has operated out of the Bronx, New York since 1969, carving out a distinctive niche in specialty refrigeration that sets it apart from mainstream appliance manufacturers. The company's catalog on Fridge.com encompasses 907 active products, reflecting an unusually broad range of specialized cooling solutions. Rather than competing in the standard kitchen refrigerator market, Summit focuses heavily on commercial and specialty categories—the brand offers 161 upright freezers, 153 kegerators, 153 beverage centers, and 78 built-in units, alongside 161 french-door models. This distribution reveals a manufacturer deeply invested in foodservice, hospitality, and medical applications rather than typical residential needs. ADA-compliant models like the CT661WADA compact freezer demonstrate Summit's commitment to accessibility requirements, while units like the SBC15NKCSS kegerator highlight their strength in beverage dispensing equipment. With products carrying an average rating of 3.7 out of 5, Summit Appliance occupies the mainstream tier but serves markets that premium residential brands often overlook, making it a go-to source for undercounter installations, laboratory storage, and commercial beverage applications where specialized dimensions and compliance certifications matter most.
