State-of-the-Art Wine Cellars

WORDS: PHOTOGRAPHY

How you store your wine is as important as which you choose (almost). ORM talks a step into the wonderful world of wine cabinets…

 

 

Anyone who knows anything about wine will tell you, storage is key. Whatever you’ve spent on your bottled investment, what you do with that bottle when you get home is tantamount to how it will taste.

 

Wine cellars are Vintec’s specialty.

 

 

Having been focused on wine cabinets for over two decades, these are the experts to turn to for wine preservation technology. Vintec has developed the largest and most advanced range of wine cabinets to suit all wine storage requirements.

 

“We are focused on recreating the perfect environment for wine,” Thibaut Caumont, Marketing Manager at Vintec tells ORM. “Our climate controlled cabinets provide the ultimate climate control. Essentially, they recreate the environment of a natural underground wine cellar in cabinet form. Creating no vibrations, these products are designed with wine in mind. Our highest priority is to offer the best and safest products for your wine. All of our wine cellars have dark interiors and dim UV-free LED lighting. Why? Because it’s important to keep your wine in a dark storage area.”

This is at the very heart of why wine lovers choose a wine cabinet over a fridge.

 

Now you’ve chosen your specialist, all you need to chose if your cabinet…

 

Large capacity? Vintec hero.

The V190SG2EBK is a unique and versatile wine cabinet. It can be set as Single Zone (set top and bottom at 12 degrees) for cellaring both red and white wines. Alternatively, it can be set as a Multi-Temp for serving different styles. For instance, 6 degrees at the bottom of the scale, graduating to 18 degrees at the top of the scale. This is the perfect cabinet whatever your perfect drinking temperature is.

 

This dark storage product has stabilized temperature control, regulated humidity (when set to 12-14 degrees), vibration reduction system and frequent air circulation.

 

 

 

Under-bench brilliance

Powerpoint location is not critical as the cabinet has a power switch on the control panel.
