All the natural elements that could harm your wine collection are protected against with the CTP253 which also benefits from lock and key.
IDEAL FOR GARAGE USE
The large bottle capacity plus winter system and charcoal filter makes this an ideal wine cabinet for the long term maturation of wine. The winter system allows you to put the cabinet in a room that goes down to 0°C and the heating element will gently warm the cabinet to keep your wines at the ideal temperature.
FINE WINE STORAGE
The CTP253 can be set between 5-20°C which gives great flexibility in storage. Champagne, red and white wines can all be stored at 12°C however, individual oenophiles may prefer to have their reds at slightly different long term maturation temperatures to their whites and if so the temperature can be adjusted to suit.
