PRODUCT OVERVIEW
We recommend this product to those with a serious collection who need temperature reliability but who also want the versatility of a regular wine fridge. This is a restaurant quality product for home or commercial use.
The wine cooler's temperature can be set between 17°C & 19°C in the upper section and then lowered naturally as you descend downwards, providing two additional temperature zones, ranging from 13° to 15°C in the middle section and 7° to 9°C in the bottom section.
The VIP280V offers your wine collection perfect protection from all the elements that can age a wine prematurely, with no vibration, stable temperatures and regulated light with a double glazed tempered door with anti-UV protection. The charcoal filter and regulated hygrometry rate ensure a safe environment, the door lock provides a secure one too.
The wide range of temperature options available throughout the fridge means you can store or serve the full range of wines, from chilled Champagnes to cooler Chardonnay's or Sauvignon Blanc's through to room temperature Ports and Bordeaux wines. The lower temperature zone is from 7-9°C, the middle from 13-15°C and the upper from 17-19°C. These temperatures are achieved due to Polyvalent technology which introduces cool air at the bottom and warm air naturally rises creating three temperature zones in the wine fridge. See the illustration below to understand how this works.
Adjustable to between 17°C and 19°C in the top section of the cellar, the temperature lowers naturally as you descend the wine cellar, providing two additional temperature zones ranging from 13°C to 15°C in the middle section and 7°C to 9°C in the bottom section.
The La Sommeliere range is manufactured in Europe and there are a team of UK technicians to support your wine cooler should you need assistance. This product comes with a 2 year warranty.
The Prestige VIP280V is adaptable to your home with reversible door, attachable wheels and adjustable feet.
