Quick Answer: Cavavin’s current US wine cooler lineup runs from the 24-inch V-024WDZ (24 bottles, dual zone, $824.50-$1,054.12) through the V-041WDZ (41 bottles, dual zone, $1,398.56) and the V-153WDZ (153 bottles, dual zone, $2,051.56-$2,546.69) up to the full-height V-265WSZ (265 bottles, single zone, $4,520.03). The catch worth knowing before you shop by name: there are two unrelated companies called Cavavin — a Canadian appliance maker (the one that makes these units) and a French wine-shop retail franchise that has nothing to do with them — and the Canadian one doesn’t sell through Amazon or any big-box retailer at all.
Cavavin shows up nowhere else on this site yet, and there’s a reason worth explaining before the model breakdown: unlike NewAir, Kalamera, Danby, or every other brand we’ve covered, Cavavin isn’t on Amazon, and it isn’t at Home Depot, Lowe’s, Best Buy, Costco, Walmart, or Target either. According to Pacific Specialty Brands’ own distributor page, PSB has represented Cavavin in the US since March 1, 2019 — but it sells exclusively through specialty wine-cellar and appliance dealers. We confirmed current US listings at DEZ Appliances, Rosehill Wine Cellars, Wine Coolers Empire, Fred’s Appliance, and Blue Grouse Wine Cellars. None of them is a name most shoppers would think to check.
Two companies, one name
- Cavavin Canada, founded in 1981 in Montreal by Roger Fortier — an HVAC contractor who started building wine cellars to meet rising demand — is Canada’s manufacturer of wine cellars and wine coolers, and the company whose products are sold in the US.
- Cavavin France, founded separately in 1985 in La Baule by Michel Bourel, runs a wine-shop retail franchise across France and several other countries. It doesn’t manufacture appliances, and it has no ownership link to the Canadian company.
- Since March 1, 2019, Pacific Specialty Brands has represented Cavavin (the Canadian appliance maker) in the US, per PSB’s own distributor page — a relatively recent US push compared to brands like NewAir or Whynter that have been in Amazon’s catalog for years.
- $824.50 to $4,520.03 is the confirmed US price spread across the four current models we verified at one dealer — a roughly 5.5x gap between the entry unit and the flagship.
- 2 years parts and labor, 5 years on the compressor is the warranty term listed on the two model pages we checked (V-041WDZ and V-153WDZ) — a longer compressor term than NewAir’s or Kalamera’s standard 1-year coverage.

1. Cavavin V-041WDZ — Best Overall
Cavavin Vinoa 24" Wine Cooler, 41-Bottle Dual Zone (V-041WDZ)
- The practical capacity sweet spot in Cavavin's current lineup — enough bottles for a real collection without stepping up to the 153-bottle tier built for a dedicated wine room.
- Dual independent temperature zones, roughly 41-54°F upper and 50-68°F lower per Cavavin's own spec sheet, so reds and whites can be stored at different temperatures in the same unit.
- 2 years parts and labor plus 5 years on the compressor, per the dealer listing we checked — longer compressor coverage than NewAir's or Kalamera's standard 1-year term.
Cavavin itself won’t show up in that search — it isn’t sold on Amazon — but the link is a starting point if you want an Amazon-available alternative at the same capacity. Setting up a home bar together? Start an Amazon Wedding Registry and add a wine cooler alternative to it while you compare Cavavin’s dealer-only network.
If 41 bottles is more capacity than you need, the smaller V-024WDZ below covers the same brand and warranty for meaningfully less.
2. Cavavin V-024WDZ — Best Value / Entry Point
Cavavin Vinoa Wine Cooler, 24-Bottle Dual Zone (V-024WDZ)
- Cavavin's least expensive current model — confirmed at $824.50 on sale (regular price $1,054.12) at the US dealer we checked, so it's worth asking whether that discount is currently active before paying full price.
- Still dual-zone despite the entry-level price and bottle count, unlike some budget 18-24 bottle units from other brands that drop to single-zone at this tier.
- Same 2-year parts/labor, 5-year compressor warranty as the rest of the lineup — Cavavin doesn't shorten the warranty term on its cheapest model.
This is the realistic entry point into the Cavavin name — full dual-zone control at roughly 60% of the V-041WDZ’s price, for 17 fewer bottles.
3. Cavavin V-153WDZ — Best for Growing Collections
Cavavin Vinoa 24" Wine Cooler, 153-Bottle Dual Zone (V-153WDZ)
- Nearly 4x the V-041WDZ's capacity in the same 24-inch footprint — a genuinely tall unit (roughly 68" per the dealer spec sheet) rather than a wider one, so confirm ceiling clearance before ordering.
- Still dual-zone at this capacity, unlike the single-zone flagship below — a meaningful difference if you're storing both reds and whites long-term rather than just aging one type.
- Confirmed sale price of $2,051.56 against a $2,546.69 regular price at the dealer we checked — a roughly $495 gap, so it's worth checking whether a promotion is currently running.
At nearly 4x the capacity for under double the price of the V-041WDZ, this is the better value per bottle if your collection has outgrown a standard under-counter unit but doesn’t yet need a full-height column.
4. Cavavin V-265WSZ — Best for Serious Collections
Cavavin Vinoa 30" Full-Height Wine Cooler, 265-Bottle Single Zone (V-265WSZ)
- Cavavin's largest current model by a wide margin — nearly 1.75x the V-153WDZ's capacity, in a 30-inch full-height column built for a dedicated cutout rather than a standard under-counter retrofit.
- Single-zone only, unlike the three smaller models above — a deliberate trade at this size, common on flagship full-height columns built for long-term storage at one consistent temperature rather than serving reds and whites day-to-day.
- Confirmed at $4,520.03 at the dealer we checked — the single highest price in Cavavin's current US lineup, and a genuine step up in both cost and installation planning from the dual-zone models.
At 265 bottles and single-zone only, this is a dedicated wine-room purchase, not an under-counter add-on — if that’s more commitment than you need, the dual-zone V-153WDZ above covers a serious collection at roughly half the price.
How to choose a Cavavin wine cooler
- Know that “Cavavin” only means one specific company here. The Cavavin sold in the US — through Pacific Specialty Brands since 2019 — is the Canadian appliance manufacturer founded in Montreal in 1981, not the unrelated French wine-shop franchise founded in La Baule in 1985. They share a name and nothing else.
- Don’t expect to find it at your usual retailer. Cavavin isn’t on Amazon, and it isn’t at Home Depot, Lowe’s, Best Buy, Costco, Walmart, or Target — every other brand we’ve covered on this site is available through at least one of those. Buying Cavavin means ordering through a specialty wine-cellar or appliance dealer instead.
- Match zone count to how you actually drink, not just bottle count. The three smaller models (24 to 153 bottles) all keep dual-zone control; only the 265-bottle flagship drops to single-zone, a real trade-off if you store both reds and whites long-term.
- Compare the 5-year compressor warranty against what you’d get elsewhere. It beats NewAir’s and Kalamera’s standard 1-year term — see our wine fridge warranty guide for how it stacks up brand by brand.
- Shop the specialty dealer network directly, since prices and active promotions vary — we found a roughly $230-495 sale-vs-regular-price gap on two of the four models we checked at a single dealer.
We checked CPSC.gov for active recalls: no current 2026 recalls apply to Cavavin wine coolers, from either the Canadian appliance maker or the unrelated French franchise.
The bottom line
For most buyers who want real dual-zone capacity without stepping up to a wine-room-sized unit, the V-041WDZ ($1,398.56, 41 bottles, dual zone) is the one to buy. Need to spend less and can live with fewer bottles, the V-024WDZ ($824.50-$1,054.12, 24 bottles) is the real entry point. Outgrown a standard unit but not ready for a full-height column, the V-153WDZ ($2,051.56-$2,546.69, 153 bottles) covers a serious, growing collection. And for a dedicated wine room, the V-265WSZ ($4,520.03, 265 bottles, single zone) is Cavavin’s real flagship. Whichever model you pick, remember it’s coming from a specialty dealer, not Amazon or a big-box store — and that the Cavavin name on the box has nothing to do with the French wine-shop chain of the same name.
