THE FIVE PILLARS OF WINE STORAGE
Vintec is recreating the conditions found in the world’s best underground cellars with its range of wine storage solutions.
WHETHER YOU’RE just getting started or already an avid collector, there’s a cardinal rule when it comes to cellaring: ensure the climate is controlled.
It’s not just temperature that’s important. You also need to ensure there’s adequate humidity, proper airflow, protection from sunlight and no damaging vibrations.
Vintec is the leading specialist in climate-controlled wine storage solutions. Each cabinet is engineered to ensure the ideal conditions for cellaring and serving wines. The Scandinavian designs can be built into your kitchen or seamlessly integrated into your living room or study. Trusted by wine lovers and professionals, each wine cabinet is designed and built around Vintec’s five pillars of wine storage:
n STABLE TEMPERATURE
Vintec wine cabinets are designed to maintain a constant temperature to preserve your wines, keeping them at their best and allowing them to mature steadily.
Key features: Adaptive Variable Speed Compressor (VSC)*, insulated side panels, double/triple glazed doors, dedicated CE cellaring mode (12 degrees celsius)*.
n
HUMIDITY ABOVE 50 PER CENT
Vintec wine cabinets are expertly designed with a self-regulating humidity feature and specially regulated air circulation to maintain high hygrometry levels (above 50 per cent) to preserve corks and prevent wine from oxidising while cellaring.
n UV-PROOF DARK STORAGE AREA
Vintec wine cabinets are designed to prevent UV light from affecting your wine.
Key features: UV-resistant tinted and insulated glass doors, dark interior, double/triple glazed doors, UV-free LED lighting.
n VIBRATION-PROOF ENVIRONMENT
Vintec wine cabinets are designed to keep all moving parts in suspension – absorbing and reducing vibrations to a minimum – so that your wines are stored in a protected environment where they can mature steadily.
Key features: Low-vibration variable speed compressor*, vibration-absorbing sliding shelf rails, vibration-absorbing oak wooden shelves.
n QUALITY AIRFLOW
Vintec wine cabinets are equipped with an efficient air circulation system to ensure a constant, slow flow of filtered air throughout the cabinet to limit any odours from penetrating wine and prevent mould from growing and damaging labels and corks.
