PRODUCT OVERVIEW
How does the CTV178 safeguard your wine collection? The La Sommeliere wine cooler technology guards against the four elements that can cause a wine to degrade prematurely. The air within the wine cooler is cool and pure thanks to the constant programmable temperature control and the charcoal filter. The anti-vibration technology ensures the sediment remains undisturbed in the bottle. The regulated hygrometry rate ensures the correct humidity so as to not dry out any corks or cause mold in the wine cabinet.
The wine cabinet is fitted with an audio and visual alarm to alert for any temperature fluctuations but the cabinet is fitted with a winter system so can cope with daily temperature fluctuations. The climate classification of N means you should keep this cabinet in a room that does not fall regularly below 10°C, a kitchen, living room or any room of a regular office, restaurant or home is fine.
The single temperature zone can be programmed between 5-20°C. This allows for long term storage of a range of different wines from finest Claret to white Burgundy at 12°C or a controlled temperature of your choice for a specific type of wine.
The La Sommeliere range is manufactured in Europe and there are a team of UK technicians to support your wine cabinet should you need assistance. This product comes with a 2 year warranty.
The CTV178 is adaptable to your home with reversible door, attachable wheels and adjustable feet.
