Explore wine cabinets, discreetly store and chill your wines behind a solid door or in freestanding furniture cabinets. Wine storage cabinets, available in various sizes and styles, optimise bottle capacity. Precisely control the temperature of your precious wines, maximising taste, and preservation.
Explore wine cabinets from top brands like Swisscave, Dunavox, Liebherr, and Climadiff, ideal for wine connoisseurs.
Unlike a luxury wine cooler, a wine storage cabinet lets you hide the unit.
These decorative built-in or freestanding appliances can be hidden behind wooden doors so your wines are protected, inside traditional cabinetry.
Various wood styles and colours are available to match existing furniture, wine racks, or kitchen cabinetry and interiors.
Here are key aspects to consider when selecting a storage solution for your wines:
Store wines in a controlled environment, ensure full enjoyment and safeguard bottles from premature aging and undesirable tasting notes.
Cabinet doors insulate against external temperature conditions.
Opt for Vacuum-insulated panels (VIPs) that provide better temperature stability and energy consumption than traditional foam insulation.
Wine aging cabinets are suited for cold rooms and cellars thanks to integrated winter heating function.
A high-quality gasket seals the cabinet door tightly.
The seal between the door and the body must be maintained for temperature to stay constant inside the cabinet.
A weak seal causes warm air to enter the storage unit (reducing efficiency) along with leaking smells (cooking aromas) which damage wine flavours.
Protect wines from damaging effects of UV exposure from the sun or bright lights.
The triple-glazed UV-resistant glass or solid doors will stop UV from accelerating your wines' aging process.
Wine cabinets are fitted with 5 to 14 wooden or metal shelves which can be moved providing flexibility for bottle organisation.
Helpful if you have an eclectic wine taste as larger bottles like Champagne are a different size to smaller Bordeaux shapes.
The Swisscave WLB460F-MIX is fitted with a mix of Bordeaux and Burgundy sized beech wooden shelves providing versatility.
Vibration is damaging to wines so keep your sensitive bottles away from appliances like washing machines, and away from high footfall.
A vibration-dampening compressor together with shock-resistant shelving, prevents sediment movement - optimal for maturation.
Humidity levels in a wine fridge are controlled by a built-in Hygrometer that keeps moisture levels at 55-85%, preventing premature ageing.
Premium models show the humidity level on the digital display located on the door.
Units are fitted with charcoal filters ensuring they're suitable as long-term storage cabinets.
Look out for cooling cabinets featuring smart connectivity.
An app connects your phone to your wine cabinet via WIFI, giving you access to notifications from the wine aging fridge.
Generate attention across a wine display behind a bar using side and overhead lighting to attract attention.
Dramatic LED lighting highlights bottle labels so guests can satisfy intrigue in your wine room. LEDs don't emit heat like traditional light bulbs - perfect for wine storage.
