    Fondis Wine Masters

    A Fondis Wine Master is designed to maintain temperature and humidity for proper wine storage. Condition your wine room or cellar space up to 100m3. Fondis Wine Masters are simple to install through the wall or use standalone (depending on the model) - professional installation is available for an additional fee.

    Why Choose a Fondis Wine Master?

    Fondis wine masters come as self-contained units or split systems. Self-contained units are easy to install and are ideal for small to medium-sized wine cellars.

    Split systems, on the other hand, are better suited for larger wine cellars and provide more installation and control flexibility.

    Control is a key feature of these conditioning products and they include digital thermostats and humidity controllers for precise temperature setting and humidity control - both important factors in wine aging.


    Which Type of Fondis Wine Master Do I Need?

    The type of product you require depends on your requirements and budget.

    Here are the types of units we sell at expertwinestorage.co.uk:

     

    1. Through the Wall

    These self-contained systems contain the condenser and evaporator in the same device.

    They are often installed through the wall (easier and don't require professional installation from an air conditioning engineer).

    2. Ducted System

    These conditioners use ducting to direct hot and cold air into and out of a wine room or cellar to control humidity and temperature precisely.

    This is a quiet option and offers excellent performance for wine preservation. A high-performance ducted model is the ceiling-mounted Fondis Wine ARM 15.

    3. Split Systems

    The condenser and evaporator are positioned separately so the condenser can be located in a different place - reducing the noise in the wine storage area.

    These units are designed to use either evaporation or compressor cooling.

    • Evaporator cooling units: Pass air through a wet piece of material, which causes the air to cool as it evaporates the moisture in the material.
    • Compressor cooling units: Use vapor compression to cool air. Refrigerant is pressurised within the compressor and then travels to the condenser. Here it is cooled and changes from a low-pressure to a high-pressure liquid. It then moves to an expansion valve where it changes to a liquid/gas mix with low pressure. Finally, it is pushed through the evaporator when the air is cooled.

     

    Considerations Before Purchasing a Fondis Wine Conditioner

    When deciding if a Fondis is right for your wine room or wine cellar, it is important to consider some of the following points:
    • The volume of the room to be conditioned. There are units to condition spaces from 25 to 100m3.
    • Installation constraints and space availability, such as external airflow access, which many units require.
    • The energy efficiency along with operating costs of the unit.
    • Noise levels that are generated by these units, although it is minimal at 35-40 dB.
    • Aesthetic considerations. Where is the unit placed to maximise discreetness?
    • Lighting and sunlight exposure - is the room open to natural light? If so, is it worth mitigating this storage risk?

     

    Other Key Fondis Wine Master Features

    Fondis Wine Master wine conditioners have several other features:

    • Air filtration systems to remove contaminants
    • UV light filters to protect the wine from harmful light exposure
    • Low vibration compressor motors to minimise wine disturbance

    Fondis wine masters are a good choice for anyone looking to store and age their wine collection properly.

    Fondis Wine Master FAQ's

    How Long Do Fondis Wine Master Wine Conditioners Last?

    +

    -

    Although all Fond Wine Masters come with manufacturer 2 year warranties, we estimate that with proper care and maintenance, plus the correct installation, a wine cellar conditioner should last over 10 years.

    How Do I Choose the Right Fondis WineMaster Model for My Room Size?

    +

    -

    Fondis catorgorises units based on the maximum cubic volume of the room they can efficiently cool - assuming the room is well insulated. It's important to measure the volume of the room where a unit is being located and select the appropriate model based on the m3 capacity required.

    Does a Fondis Wine Master Control Humidity?

    +

    -

    Fondis Wine Master systems do not actively control humidity, but they are engineered to preserve the ambient humidity already present in the room where they are installed.

    Are any Fondis Wine Master Models Suitable for Use in a Cold Room?

    +

    -

    Many basements drop below 10 degrees C during winter periods. Models featuring an "S" or "R" notation (like the C25S or C50SR) come equipped with an integrated heating element. When sensors detect the temperature is below your chosen setpoint, the cooling compressor switches off and the heating system engages, ensuring your collection never suffers from extreme seasonal temperature swings.

    How Do I maintain a Fondis Wine Master Conditioning Unit?

    +

    -

    It is key to clean the metal filters regularly, replace the fabric filters every 12 months, and clean the condensation drainage channels. This regular maintenance will extend the life of your Fondis Wine Master.

    How Long is the Manufacturer Warranty for a Fondis Wine Master?

    +

    -

    All Fondis Winemaster conditioners come with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.

    Do I Need the Help of an Engineer to Install My Fondis Wine Master?

    +

    -

    The Fondis SP100 and SP100-8 will require an engineer to install and commission a new unit. For all other models, the installation is simple and can often be carried out without professional help. We are also on hand over the phone or via email to help answer any questions you might have about installation.

    What is the Difference Between a Fondis Wine Master and a Regular Air Conditioner?

    +

    -

    A Fondis Wine Master is designed to maintain optimal temperature conditions for preserving wine, while a domestic air conditioner is designed to cool air in a much less precise way.
