Why Choose the Breezaire WKL 1060?
The Breezaire WKL 1060 is built for small residential wine cellars that need reliable temperature control without the complexity of a split system, ductwork, plumbing, or field-installed refrigerant lines. Its through-the-wall design allows the unit to mount directly into the cellar wall and vent warm air into an adjacent interior room.
This model is ideal for collectors who need a compact wine cooling unit for a properly constructed wine room up to 140 cubic feet. The Sentry III+ control system helps protect the wine cellar from temperature issues caused by power interruptions, blocked airflow, condenser blockage, or fan failure.
The WKL 1060 also supports proper wine preservation by maintaining cellar temperature, helping manage humidity, and reducing vibration during operation. For best performance, the cellar must be properly insulated and the exhaust room must be the same size or larger than the wine cellar.

Optional Bottle Probe
The optional Breezaire Bottle Probe can be used with all Breezaire WKL models. The bottle probe allows the unit to control operation based on the liquid temperature inside a bottle instead of the air temperature inside the wine cellar.
To use the bottle probe, allow the enclosure to stabilize at the desired temperature for several days, or approximately 72 hours. Fill a clean standard-size wine bottle with water, insert the bottle probe into the bottle, and place it in the enclosure. Do not connect the bottle probe to the unit until the bottle has had enough time to cool to the enclosure temperature.
Once connected, the unit's on and off operation is controlled by the temperature of the liquid in the bottle, and the displayed temperature reflects the bottle temperature. Unplugging the bottle probe returns the unit to the internal air sensor. The bottle probe cord is 5 feet long.
Expert Recommendation
The Breezaire WKL 1060 is the right choice for a small, properly insulated residential wine cellar up to 140 cubic feet. It offers straightforward through-the-wall installation, reliable temperature control, automatic humidity support, and Sentry III+ protection without requiring ductwork, plumbing, or a remote condenser.

Great product. Very quiet and easy to operate. Easy to install as well.
I can tell you my experience with these store. I placed an order and told them I needed it in 2 weeks. They said, they'll ship it before the deadline. I wasn't expecting that this unit arrive so early. Received the unit and my contractors install it. Works fine! I can't compare it to the transaction that I have with other stores. This store is so amazing. Thanks, Wine Coolers Empire!
