Quick Answer: Viking’s current US wine storage lineup runs from the 24-inch undercounter VWUI5240GRSS 5 Series (40 bottles, dual zone, $3,299.99-$4,250 depending on dealer) through the 24-inch undercounter VUWC524GSS Professional line (49 bottles, dual zone, $4,899.99-$5,139) up to the 30-inch full-height VCWB530LSS cellar (160 bottles, dual zone, $10,199, regularly $10,909, per US Appliance). The counterintuitive finding: the two undercounter models share the same 24-inch footprint and sit only 9 bottles apart, yet the Professional-line VUWC524GSS costs $1,000-$1,800+ more — Viking’s product-line tier, not capacity, drives that gap.
Viking already shows up as the largest-capacity pick in our best luxury wine fridge roundup, but it’s never had a dedicated lineup comparison of its own — the way Thermador, Liebherr, and Sub-Zero already do. That gap is worth closing, because Viking is the only one of the four luxury brands we’ve covered that splits its own lineup into two distinct product tiers (5 Series vs. Professional) at the same nominal size.
Viking’s wine storage lineup, by the numbers
- $3,299.99 to $10,199 is the confirmed price spread across the three current Viking models we verified at major appliance dealers — a wider range than Sub-Zero, Liebherr, or Thermador individually.
- 160 bottles is the VCWB530LSS’s full-height capacity — the single largest bottle count of any model covered across this site’s luxury-brand pages so far, nearly double Thermador’s 92-bottle flagship.
- 9 bottles apart, $1,000-$1,800+ apart in price. The 40-bottle VWUI5240GRSS and 49-bottle VUWC524GSS are both 24-inch undercounter units, yet the Professional-line VUWC524GSS costs meaningfully more for barely more capacity — product tier, not bottle count, explains it.
- Up to $950 dealer spread on the entry-level VWUI5240GRSS alone — confirmed prices ranged from $3,299.99 (sale) to $4,250 across the dealers we checked, the widest same-SKU spread found on Viking’s lineup.
- $710 off list on the VCWB530LSS at the sale price we confirmed — $10,199 against a $10,909 regular price per US Appliance, matching the site’s own prior 09-08 verification.
Our top picks at a glance
| Viking Model | Best for | Capacity | Zones | Install | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VCWB530LSS | Best overall / most capacity | 160 bottles | Dual | Full-height column | $10,199 |
| VWUI5240GRSS | Best value / entry point | 40 bottles | Dual | Undercounter (5 Series) | $3,299.99-$4,250 |

1. Viking VCWB530LSS — Best Overall / Most Capacity
Viking 30" Full-Height 160-Bottle Wine Cellar (VCWB530LSS)
- The largest capacity of any wine cooler covered across this site's luxury-brand pages — nearly double Thermador's 92-bottle flagship, and well beyond either Viking undercounter model below.
- Full-height column format built for a dedicated floor-to-counter cutout rather than tucking under an existing counter — this is the closest thing to a built-in wine cellar in Viking's current lineup.
- Confirmed on sale at $10,199 against a $10,909 regular price per US Appliance — a real $710 markdown, not a list-price coincidence.

At 160 bottles, the VCWB530LSS is a real commitment of both budget and floor space — if that’s more than your collection needs, the two undercounter models below cover the same brand for a fraction of the price and footprint.
2. Viking VWUI5240GRSS — Best Value / Entry Point
Viking 5 Series 24" Undercounter Wine Cellar, 40-Bottle (VWUI5240GRSS)
- Viking's least expensive current wine storage model — a confirmed $3,299.99 sale price at one dealer, though other dealers list it as high as $4,250 for the identical SKU, so it's worth shopping around before paying a sticker price.
- Dynamic Cooling Technology, a UV-resistant glass door, heavy-gauge wine racks, and Star-K certified Sabbath mode across 40 bottles and two independently controlled zones.
- Part of Viking's 5 Series line rather than the Professional line — the same 24-inch undercounter format as the VUWC524GSS below, at meaningfully less money.
This is the realistic entry point into the Viking name — same 24-inch cutout as the Professional-line model next, for roughly $1,000-$1,800 less.
3. Viking VUWC524GSS — Best Professional-Line Undercounter
Viking Professional 24" Undercounter Wine Cellar, 49-Bottle (VUWC524GSS)
- Same 24-inch undercounter footprint as the VWUI5240GRSS above, with a stainless-steel interior and 9 more bottles of capacity — but $1,000-$1,800+ more expensive, confirmed across two independent dealers ($4,899.99 and $5,139).
- Belongs to Viking's Professional line rather than the 5 Series — the tier jump, not the bottle-count jump, is what explains most of the price gap over the VWUI5240GRSS.
- Dual independent temperature zones with Dynamic Cooling Technology, matching the climate-control approach used across the rest of Viking's wine storage lineup.
Pick this one only if the Professional-line badge or the extra 9 bottles genuinely matters — otherwise the 5 Series model above delivers the same footprint and zone count for real savings.
How to choose a Viking wine cooler
- Product line drives price more than bottle count does. The 40-bottle 5 Series VWUI5240GRSS and the 49-bottle Professional VUWC524GSS are the same 24-inch undercounter size, only 9 bottles apart, yet the Professional model costs $1,000-$1,800+ more. Decide which product tier you’re paying for, not just how many bottles you need.
- Shop multiple dealers, especially on the entry-level model. The VWUI5240GRSS alone ranged from $3,299.99 to $4,250 across the dealers we checked — a nearly $1,000 spread on the identical SKU.
- Go full-height only if you need the space and the budget. The VCWB530LSS’s 160-bottle capacity is unmatched in this roundup, but at $10,199 and a floor-to-counter cutout, it’s a different category of commitment than either undercounter model.
- Compare against Sub-Zero, Thermador, and Liebherr before committing to the name. Viking’s $3,299.99-$10,199 range is the widest of the four true-luxury brands we’ve checked — see our best Sub-Zero wine cooler, best Thermador wine cooler, and best Liebherr wine cooler guides.
- Weigh it against the full luxury tier. Viking is one of four brands — alongside Sub-Zero, Thermador, and Liebherr — in the $3,000-$10,000+ true-luxury tier; see our best luxury wine fridge roundup for the full four-way comparison.
We checked CPSC.gov for active recalls: no current 2026 recalls apply to Viking wine cellars or wine refrigerators specifically. Viking has had unrelated historical recalls (2009-2014) on built-in refrigerator/freezer models over a door-detachment hazard, but none covering wine storage units.
The bottom line
For most buyers who want Viking’s signature capacity, the VCWB530LSS ($10,199, 160 bottles, full-height) is the one to buy — it’s the largest wine cooler covered anywhere on this site, confirmed on a real $710 markdown. Need a standard 24-inch undercounter cutout instead, the VWUI5240GRSS ($3,299.99-$4,250, 40 bottles) is the real Viking entry point — shop around given the confirmed near-$1,000 dealer spread. And if the Professional-line badge or the extra 9 bottles matters for your build, the VUWC524GSS ($4,899.99-$5,139, 49 bottles) covers the same footprint one tier up.
