HOW THE APOGEE185DZPRO PROTECTS YOUR WINE
Utilising the latest Sommelière technology, the APOGEE185DZPRO safeguards your wine collection from harmful elements such as UV light, vibration, heat, odours, and improper humidity. With features like a solid door, anti-vibration system, precise temperature control, carbon filter for air purification, and consistent humidity levels between 50-80%, your wine is well-protected. Additionally, this model includes a lock and key for added security.
IDEAL FOR HOME OR GARAGE USE
The winter system enables the appliance to be stored in a garage, and it will safeguard the wines as long as the temperature remains above freezing, thanks to its potent heating element that can also gently heat the unit. With a noise level of only 38dB, this wine cabinet is quieter than many wine coolers intended for kitchen use, making the APOGEE185DZPRO a fitting addition to any household.
The mixed cooling system allows this wine cabinet to be incredibly energy efficient at just 139kWh/annum - this is a reduction of over 50% on some of the older models.
FINE WINE STORAGE
This wine cabinet offers the flexibility to store champagne, fortified, red, or white wine with a temperature range adjustable between 5°C and 20°C. For optimal long-term maturation, we recommend setting it at a universal 12°C. The carbon filter and humidity management not only preserve the wine itself but also maintain the quality of the labels and corks, ensuring everything stays in pristine condition.
VINOTAG APP
The APOGEE185DZPRO can connect directly to the Vinotag cellar management app available on the App and Google Play stores. This allows you to keep a record of the wines in your cellar and monitor their maturation.
