Great Reasons To Choose Expert Wine Storage
The Vin Garde Meursault 146 is produced by Vin Garde, a UK-based company that offers high-capacity, long-term storage units for wine. Their units are designed to accommodate a variety of bottle shapes and sizes, making them more versatile than other options on the market.
With a maximum capacity of 146 Bordeaux bottles. Each layer of bottles is supported on individual shelves, rather than stacked, for easy access to the wines. The unit also has a display shelf at the top that can be rearranged or additional shelves added at a later date. The temperature within the unit can be adjusted between 5-22°C, and it has a heating system to allow it to function in ambient temperatures as low as 0°C.
The compressor is mounted on vibration-free bushes to ensure that the bottles are stored in optimal conditions. These cabinets are suitable for installation in a variety of locations, including garages and outbuildings.

Bottle Capacity & Shelving
The Vin Garde storage units feature specialized shelving that is designed to accommodate a wider range of bottles. Instead of using wood for the majority of the shelves, the units utilize metal which is stronger and can be made thinner, allowing for more efficient use of space. These large coolers are equipped with 11 full sliding shelves, 1 half sliding shelf and 1 display shelf and slide out on telescopic rails for easy access to the bottles at the back of the shelf. The cabinet has a full tinted glass door that is UV protected to prevent damage to the wine from UV rays over long periods of time.Installation of the MEURSAULT 146
Wine coolers made by Vin Garde can be installed into cabinets or used as freestanding units. The door has a 45° overhang if you decide to build the unit into your cabinetry, so you will need to leave an extra 1.5 cm on the hinge side to make sure the wine fridge can be installed flush with the cabinetry. In order to prevent overheating, it's crucial to leave at least 50 mm of space behind the wine fridge for ventilation.
Internal Lighting
In comparison to many other options on the market, the lighting on Vin Garde cabinets is excellent. All Vin Garde models include two LED strips down either side of the cabinet and a ceiling light, which provides excellent lighting for the wine.
This is especially useful when the shelves are pulled out because it makes it easier to read the labels. Furthermore, the lighting is dimmable, so if the standard brightness is too bright for the environment in which the unit is installed, you can reduce it.

Installation Of Your Wine Cooler
We've selected the finest wine fridges available in the UK but we often get asked about the different installation requirments for freestanding, built in and integrated wine coolers and wine cabinets. Take a look below at our brief guides and get in touch if you have any questions - we'll be very happy to help!
Freestanding wine cooler
A freestanding wine cooler is designed to stand independently and should not be built in to any form of cabinet or cupboard. Freestanding wine fridges require ventilation at all times. It's highly recommended that there is a minimum gap of 3-5 inches from the side and rear of the unit to any other surface. Freestanding wine cooler units should not be installed under a countertop (under counter), built in to cabinetry or covered over the top in any way as this can cause over heating and negates the manufacturer warranty. Find out more about Freestanding Wine Cooler Installation.
Integrated wine cooler
Integrated wine fridges are similar to built-in wine coolers but are designed to slot in perfectly into cupboards to create a floating, seamless look. In comparison to a built-in unit, integrated wine coolers sit completely flush with your cabinetry.
Built-in/undercounter wine cooler
In contrast to a freestanding wine cooler, a built in wine cooler is designed to be fitted into a cupboard, cabinet or under counter. This being said a built in unit can also be used as a free-standing wine cooler. A built-in wine cooler has a ventilation grill which allows cool air to flow into the unit which maintains it's cooling function. Find out more about built in wine cooler installation.
Noise
Is a wine cooler noisy?
The majority of wine coolers which we stock produce a noise level of approximately 35-45 decibels (dB). When compared to other common household electrical appliances, it's useful to note, a standard dishwasher creates around 45-50 dB and a modern refrigerator generates approximately 35 dB.
The reason a modern wine cooler produces noise is for much the same reasons as a standard kitchen refrigerator. Most wine coolers are designed with a compressor, an array of fans (to consistently circulate the cool air) and refrigerant. The minor difference between a wine cooler and a standard refrigerator is that the wine cooler has the need to hold a steady, consistent temperature at all times to keep your wine perfectly chilled.
How do I reduce the noise of my wine cooler?
There are a number of ways you can mitigate and reduce the noise produced by your wine cooler:

Great wine storage solution- neat enough to be on show in our dining room- not noisey- fits plenty for our needs
Great communication with team when deciding/purchasing - and delivery team were professional
Great product at a competitive price. Delivery efficient and professional.
Very pleased with this very attractive wine cooler the only problem with it is that the bottles disappear out of it rather quickly.
Excellent service being kept in the picture from order to delivery. Thank you so much.
Love my wine cooler... So good to find a bottle of wine easily and clearly without having to hunt around the house. Philip was fabulous and really helped me with my purchase and the delivery drivers were really the best so the overall experience is a very positive one
The pre-purchase information provide by Philip via the help line was most helpful, as was the ability to see one fridge installed at a wine merchant. The delivery service was excellent: the crew sorted out the various installation challenges and did so with reassuring care. The fridge as such is the right choice for my needs (to let my wines age) and I am happy with look and quality. The only improvement would be the level of noise, which whilst not a big problem still exceeds a normal fridge and "has a presence".
I’m happy w the service level. Compared to an over 10k£ fire magic grill delivered last week, this is exceptional service. I wonder I can also buy wine from them 😆
I purchased this to replace a smaller old unit. I took advice from Phil at Expert Wine Storage asking lots of questions; he was helpful and friendly throughout and was never pushy. The size of this unit is very convenient and the design of the unit makes it suitable for placement in a garage or similar. The plain design makes good use of height and helps to keep cost down. The delivery team placed it just where I wanted it. It turned out that the delivery vehicle had a breakdown shortly after leaving the depot. Despite this the delivery guys were patient and took time to give me a great service with a smile. Delighted with the product and service.
My existing two zone wine fridge gave up the ghost. It was built into a cabinet in a very small wine store room - made for the previous fridge. So the requirements on size were very specific. Expert Wine Storage (Phillip) could not have been more helpful - looking up the size of my original fridge and recommending a model that would fit the space provided. A Dunavox dual zone. At no time did I feel I was being sold too - rather Phillip was trying to help and solve my problem.
We knew fitting and removal would be difficult so Phillip arranged a specialist installer who he briefed on the job. It was not the easiest install but it I now in place and I could not be more delighted. Throughout the help and communication was exemplary.
I can now comment on the Dunavox which is light years better than my previous fridge. The product quality is exceptional.
I could not recommend Expert Wine Storage more highly.
Excellent wine store
I am very pleased with the service and advice I received on my initial enquiry for the wine storage unit. Expert guidance helped me decide on the "La Sommeliere CTV249". Delivery was to time (to the minute!) and the unpacking placement and inspection went to plan. Please find the attached picture taken after the 'settling in' period and the initial stocking. Thank you to all involved.
Great design, looks perfect in the cellar and fantastic service
With temperatures reachng record highs I am so delighted that I have this temperature controlled storage for my wine - I dread to think how much damage would have been done otherwise. It is stylish, quiet and fits in perfectly. Excellent delivery and custmer service throughout. Really delighted.
First Class service and advice from Expert Wine Storage in helping me choose the right wine storage cabinets for my needs and a remarkably fine and competent delivery service. I purchased two La Sommeliere 121 bottle storage units to use in my small cellar as the old air conditioning unit had stopped working and replacements are no longer available. Following a call to EWS this was a great solution with rapid delivery and top class delivery and installation. The units are soooooo quiet, I should have done this years ago!!
Bought the cooler to be installed in an existing island unit in my kitchen. Great comms and delivery from the team at Expert Wine Storage. Cooler fitted a treat and works perfectly - absolutely silent. Looks fab too!
Fantastic service for our restaurant. The Expert Wine Storage provided us with the Swiss Cave wine fridge. Competitive prices, good customer service and professional delivery. Thank you.
