Breezaire WKCE 1060 Wine Cabinet Cooling Unit
Breezaire WKCE 1060 – Cooling for Wine Cabinets and Enclosures
This unit cools a cabinet or a credenza, not a room. Breezaire builds the WKCE series for constricted enclosures and does not rate it for a given number of cubic feet. If you are cooling a walk-in cellar or a closet conversion, you want the WKL series instead, which starts at $2,148 and is rated from 140 to 2,000 cubic feet.
The Breezaire WKCE 1060 is a compact cooling unit built for wine cabinets, credenzas and other enclosed cases. Operating at 3 Amps, 115 Volt, 60 Hz, it holds a steady temperature inside the enclosure without the bulk of a room-sized system.
This unit excels at precise temperature control, maintaining a consistent environment that’s ideal for aging wine. It can cool approximately 25°F below ambient room temperature on the venting side, so even if your space gets warm, your wine stays perfectly chilled.
Humidity is equally well-managed. The WKCE 1060 gently balances moisture by maintaining a relative humidity level between 50% and 75%. In dry conditions, it uses natural evaporation from a small porous water container, helping to prevent cork shrinkage and label damage without the need for noisy humidifiers.
Built for collectors storing wine in furniture rather than a dedicated room, the WKCE 1060 fits a cabinet-sized opening and runs on a standard household circuit.
WKCE 1060 Wine Cabinet Cooling System Features
- Adjustable Temperature: Built-in thermostat allows you to set and maintain the ideal wine storage temperature between 50°F and 60°F

WKCE 1060 Wine Cabinet Cooling System: Optional Bottle Probe Add-on
The Breezaire Bottle Probe monitors the temperature inside a bottle rather than the air around it, which is the reading that matters for aging.
Easy to install and compatible with most Breezaire systems, it provides real-time temperature readings for enhanced wine preservation.
