Is this unit suitable for a high-volume bar serving wine throughout the evening?

The SC85 is well suited to low-to-mid-volume service where 22 bottles is sufficient to cover a session without constant restocking. For venues with a large wine list or high covers, a larger capacity unit with greater bottle storage would be worth considering to avoid running short mid-service.

What does this unit need in terms of installation?

It runs from a standard 13A mains socket, so no specialist electrical work is required. The main consideration is ventilation — the unit needs adequate clearance at the rear and sides, and should not be positioned directly next to heat-generating equipment such as a glasswasher, as ambient heat will increase compressor load and may affect temperature stability.

Can this cooler store red wine as well as white and rosé?

The unit is designed primarily for white and rosé wines, which are typically served at cooler temperatures. While red wines can be stored in it, the set temperature range is geared toward chilled service rather than the slightly warmer conditions often preferred for red. If your operation regularly serves both styles, a dual-zone unit would give you more precise control.

SC85 Manual

Product Description

The Tefcold SC85 is a compact undercounter wine cooler finished in black, designed to hold and display white and rosé wines at consistent serving temperatures. It fits beneath a standard bar counter and holds up to 22 standard 75cl bottles, making it a practical option for venues where back-bar space is at a premium.

Fan-assisted cooling circulates air evenly through the cabinet, which helps maintain a stable temperature across all shelf levels throughout service. This is preferable to passive cooling in a bar environment, where door openings are frequent and recovery needs to be reliable. The tinted glass door limits light exposure — a consideration worth taking seriously for wine held in the unit over several days rather than turned over quickly. Staff can check the set temperature via the external digital display without opening the door, which helps with both consistency and energy use during a busy service.

Fan-assisted circulation maintains even temperature across all shelf levels
Tinted glass door reduces light exposure for wine stored over longer periods
External digital display lets staff monitor temperature without opening the door
Lockable door supports stock security in unsupervised bar areas
LED interior lighting keeps the display visible without contributing heat to the cabinet

Installation is straightforward. The unit runs from a standard 13A mains socket and requires adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation. It should not be positioned directly alongside heat-generating equipment — a glasswasher or undercounter oven nearby will increase compressor load and may affect temperature stability.

This cooler is well suited to small bars, café counters, hotel rooms, and front-of-house wine display in a restaurant setting. It is not a replacement for a cellar or high-volume wine storage solution. Venues with a larger wine list, higher covers, or a need for dual-zone temperature control would be better served by a larger or more specialised unit.

If you are weighing this against other options or want to check it fits your bar layout, our team is glad to help you work through it.
