Vintec Wine Cabinet Technology

Vintec and Transtherm climate controlled wine cabinets recreate conditions found in Wine Arks controlled climate controlled wine storage sites. With controllable temperature, adapted hygrometry, natural ventilation and vibration control, they bring the ultimate storage solution to your home, office or building projects.

Vintec and Transtherm wine cabinets are manufactured from quality materials and thoroughly inspected at all stages of production. our cabinets are designed to protect your wines against all external infl uences, while allowing them to mature under optimal conditions.

While the Vintec range is economical and designed to suit the modern lifestyle, Transtherm has been designed to appeal to the connoisseurs and hospitality industry who demand perfect presentation and sophisticated storage for their premium wines. More and more people are using wine cabinets to;

• Safeguard their red and white wine from changing temperatures
• Have their wine ready to drink (with a multi-zone unit)
• Store their wine in an economical, space-saving and aesthetically pleasing cabinet
• Have their wines ‘on hand’ when entertaining whilst the bulk of the wines are at their Wine Ark offsite storage account

The temperature for single-zone wine cabinets should be set between 12 – 15°C, safely cellaring both red and white wine (which cellar at the same temperature). Multi-zone wine cabinets graduate from 6°C at the bottom to 18°C at the top, ensuring your wines are ready to serve at the correct drinking temperature. Multi-zone cabinets are not designed for long term storage/cellaring. Vintec and Transtherm wine cabinets offer 5 key elements that are crucial to the long term storage of red and white wine.

Temperature
Constant temperature is critical for maturation of both red and white wines. The recommended temperature for ageing wines is between 12 – 15°C.

Humidity
A humidity level of greater than 55% is essential to ensure the cork retains its quality. Too little humidity allows the cork to dry out, shrink and allows oxidation of the wine to occur. The thermal pump system of our wine cabinets ensures adequate humidity levels are maintained. In multi-zone wine cabinets the humidity reduces greatly, therefore these cabinets are only suitable for serving wines rather than long term cellaring and storing of wines.

Light
UV and fluorescent light is damaging to wines. The glass doors of the wine cabinets are double glazed and UV treated.

Vibration
Vibration can affect the flavour and bouquet of your wine. The cabinets feature vibration absorbers and slow cycling balanced compressors to eliminate all residual vibrations. Air Circulatio
air circulation prevents mould forming on corks. The cabinets have air vents to ensure slow reticulated air flow.

All Vintec and Transtherm wine cabinets come with a 2 year warranty and are supported by an Australia-wide after-sales and service network. Vintec Australia offers a national distribution network to assist with any queries regarding their products.
