Getting to Know Your Wine Cellar

Features

The right environment for your wines...

A vine is an extremely sensitive plant. Grape quality is dependent on three factors: light, air humidity and ambient temperature. This sensitivity continues even after the wine is bottled. To allow a wine’s flavor to fully develop and to preserve the excellent aroma, it has to be properly stored. Your wine cellar offers the best storage environment:

™

A wide temperature range: The unit has a wide temperature adjustment range. It allows you to store wine at low temperature for superb aging or at a higher temperature for serving wine lightly chilled. The temperature can be set between 41 to 72°F (5 to 22°C).

™

High storage capacity: High storage capacity allows you to preserve the flavor of your favorite wines. Your wine cellar can store up to 46 bottles of wine (750 mL each).

™

Low Vibration Cooling System and Storage: Wines require a tranquil environment. The latest technology of your wine cellar provides virtually vibration free cooling, helping to preserve wine taste. In addition, the sliding beech wood storage shelves also provide additional vibration absorption.

Additional Features

• Automatic defrosting system

• Soft white LED interior lighting with on/off switch

• Open-door and malfunction warning system

• Double-layer, UV resistant, tempered glass door, shields wines from UV rays harmful to wine.

• Door lock
