WINE CABINETS

What are the typical features of a wine cabinet?

A wine cabinet is typically for the long term maturation of fine wine and are generally larger in bottle capacities than wine coolers. Designed to reliably protect a wine collection, wine cabinets typically come with features not standard in average wine coolers like lock and key, winter systems and extra protection from UV light, tighter humidity controls, charcoal filters and often less shelving as wines are accessed less frequently.

Wine cabinets are designed to store fine wine over the longer term, typically between 2-20 years and are often designed to be kept in places outside the home like garages or outbuildings, but can of course be used inside the home too.

Which are the best brands of wine cabinets?

Most of the wine cooler manufacturers produce a range of wine cabinets but there are two manufacturers in particular who really excel at long term wine storage, Swisscave and Climadiff.

Should I choose a Swisscave or a Climadiff wine cabinet?

Both of these producers offer wine cabinets with carbon filters, lock and key, humidity controls and winter systems, their difference is one of aesthetics and quality of internal materials  

  • If you're looking for a low cost wine storage solution where energy efficiency and price trumps aesthetics and comfort then the Climadiff wine cabinets are the better solution. These are very popular wine cabinets for longer term storage in garages or outbuildings thanks to their winter systems.
  • If you're looking for an attractive storage solution with multiple sliding shelves, LED lighting and even display shelves then the Swisscave may be a better choice. The Swisscave wine cabinets also have winter systems allowing them to be housed in garages or outbuildings but because of their attractive nature, they are usually given pride of place in the home.

Dunavox, Liebherr, La Sommeliere and Avintage all also produce some fantastic wine cabinets and should also be considered for longer term wine storage.

How many bottles does a wine cabinet hold?

Generally a wine cabinet holds between 100 and 400 bottles of wine. Most full size wine cabinets have a similar sized outer casing, what makes some wine cabinets a larger capacity than others is usually the number of shelves and the number of zones housed inside. Those looking for very large capacity wine coolers will need to compromise on shelving and temperature zones.

Where should I house my wine cabinet?

As large and typically freestanding units those pressed for space often place their wine cabinet in utility rooms or garages, as long as the wine cabinet has a winter system, this is usually fine. Be sure to check the ambient operating temperature information of a wine cabinet before you buy.

How does a wine cabinet protect your wine?

Every wine cabinet built and sold covers the five main factors that can damage a wine;

  • Humidity - To ensure the cork doesn't dry out (causing wines to oxidize) or that the labels come lose, wine cabinets keep a constant humidity between 55-85%. With built-in heating systems that remove moist air, wine cabinets protects your wines from humidity. Should the humidity level rise above or below the 55-85% threshold then an alarm will sound.
  • UV Protection -  Every wine cabinet benefits from a UV protected glass door so no harmful rays can pass through to your bottles.
  • Temperature -  Many wine cabinets can be programmed between 5-20c but all can be set at the universal 12c.
  • Odours - The charcoal filters ensure that no odours build up in the cabinet and are filtered out to prevent damage to your wines.
  • Low vibration - Any unwanted vibrations in a wine cabinet will cause the wines to age prematurely. Vibrations don't just cause noise, they also cause the sediment in your wine to become agitated and disturbed, reducing the longevity of your wine as it ages. All wine cabinets have low vibration compressors to keep vibration ultra-low.

How many years can a wine cabinet last?

Some of the very best models like the Climadiff wine cabinets use components that can last up to 10 years. All wine cabinets sold come with a two year parts and labour warranty, the Swisscave warranties can be extended to four years for a fee.

Do I need a single, dual or multi zone temperature option?

To replicate a wine cave and recreate the conditions ideal for long term storage it is only necessary to have one temperature setting, that of the universal 12c. However, some wine cabinets do some with dual or multi zones allowing partial service and partial storage from the same wine cabinet.

Should I stack my wine bottles in the wine cabinet?

Ideally wine bottles should be stacked by type. Stacking bottles of different types on the same shelves can reduce your overall capacity by as much as 25-30%. The fewer shelves the wine cabinet has and the better stacked the bottles are, the more overall bottles your wine cabinet can hold.
