The shelving on the Avintage range is often produced from Sapele wood and display shelves feature in many of their premium wine cabinets.

How does an Avintage wine fridge protect your wine?

Four naturally occurring elements can impact the long-term maturation of your wine that most wine coolers protect against, but Avintage offers advanced solutions for all:

• Vibration - Avintage compressors are mounted on “vibration-reducing” rubber mountings. For extra support, the shelves are made from soft Sapele wood which absorbs vibrations.
  
• UV Light - All Avintage kitchen units have UV-protected doors, their wine cabinet range also benefits either from UV protection or solid doors which keep the wine in complete darkness.
  
• Stable Temperature - The Avintage range, whether a single, dual or multi-zone will hold your wine consistently at the temperature it has been set. If the temperatures dip or rise outside this range, most Avintage units feature an alarm system to let you know if a change has occurred.
  
• Humidity - the humidity within the cooler is automatically managed by the system and kept at a constant between 55-85% ensuring corks don't dry out and prevent mould from appearing in the unit.
  

The Avintage wine fridge range

The Avintage wine fridge range is split into DVA and DVP lines. These connote whether the wine cooler is a single zone or multi-zone unit. Avintage offer 27 different wine cooling units to the market including:

• 17 built-in/under-counter wine coolers able to store 8-97 bottles
• 7 wine cabinets designed for wine maturation holding 178 to 294 bottles
• 3 Polyvalent free-standing cellars that hold between 178 to 294 bottles
  

Do I need a Single Zone or Dual Zone Avintage?

When choosing a built-in or integrated unit for your kitchen there are usually a few things to consider. Apart from matching the aesthetic of your kitchen the second most important element to your choice is likely to be whether to go for a single zone Avintage or a dual zone Avintage. A single zone wine cooler allows you to set one temperature for the whole fridge, usually between 5-20°C and will be set based on your preferences. If you're a fan of white or red wines exclusively, or don't mind keeping the fridge at a universal 12°C then a single zone will be perfect. If your partner prefers red and you prefer white, a dual zone will probably be the best choice for your family kitchen, allowing you to set one half of the wine fridge to one temperature and the other to another, giving perfectly chilled wines at any time.
