When it comes to wine, once you choose it, you have to be able to store it, too! Up until now, wine has always been stored in dark places, but the latest generation of wine coolers features multi-layered glass doors that protect the wine from UV light. Fans of comfort and beautiful design will also be happy to know they come in black, stainless steel, or leather.

Turning the wine cooler into a living room centrepiece

You can now watch your wines, champagnes, and other delicious beverages age from the comfort of your living room sofa. Some wine coolers are so beautifully designed they become the room’s central feature when framed like works of art. Others include remote-controlled doors, touch-sensitive buttons, and an electronic display, all of which blend effortlessly into your home’s decor.

Perfectly conserved vintages

Rested assured—these sophisticated machines, which let you keep a constant eye on your wine collection, are installed by experts with help from master sommeliers to ensure each vintage is stored at the correct temperature. Whether you have 12 bottles or 200 (or more), your new wine cooler is sure to be a topic of conversation the next time you have guests over. And you’ll be able to offer them a wine tasting featuring vintages that are ready to enjoy!
