Vinothèque has been synonymous with wine storage cabinets for over twenty years. The company was founded on a simple philosophy: build a high quality, attractive wood cabinet that creates the ideal environment for the aging of fine wines. This philosophy, along with our constant desire to improve on the product's design and performance, has helped to create a brand name that is recognized by wine connoisseurs all over the world as a symbol of quality and reliability.

In 1995, this desire to improve performance resulted in the development of WhisperKOOL air conditioning units specifically designed for built-in wine cellars. WhisperKOOL cools slowly, but efficiently, by maintaining temperature and humidity in a properly designed wine cellar.

In February of 2000, both product lines were sold to a new company, which promptly changed its name from Nordicorp to Vinothèque Wine Cellars. This name change symbolizes the company's desire to continue improving its product quality, customer service and communication.

Vinothèque Cabinets

Creating the perfect atmosphere for the proper aging of wines has been the specific goal of Vinothèque Wine Cellars for more than two decades. This guide is designed to help define the options available to maintain your valuable investment.

Experts agree that wine ages best at 53 to 57 degrees combined with a relative humidity of 50 to 70%. Temperature stability is the key factor in the maturation of fine wines. Humidity keeps corks moist and prevents oxidation from ruining wine. Serious wine collectors employ specialized equipment that maintains proper temperature and humidity balance. Vinothèque Wine Cellars are designed to create this environment and are crafted in a variety of sizes and aesthetic designs to enhance the art of wine collecting.

With a choice of two refrigeration systems, six different sizes, four standard racking configurations and limitless stylistic options, it’s never been so easy to find a Vinothèque wine cellar to meet your individual needs.

Additional Info

The cabinets are designed to cool to a maximum of 50°F or 30°F cooler than the ambient temperature of the room. The units will operate as necessary to maintain temperature and humidity.

Create a detailed layout of your home and the path movers will take, making sure doorways and corners are large enough to get through for the final placement of the unit.

Never install a unit with windows in an area exposed to direct sunlight.

Make sure the flooring is sturdy enough to handle the weight of a fully loaded cabinet, which can be substantial.

The moving company hired to install your cabinet is the responsibility of the distributor. Work closely with your distributor to avoid incurring additional moving costs.

The cabinet needs adequate ventilation in order to cool effectively. Open rooms provide the best ventilation.

The units operate best if they are filled to a minimum of 75% of their capacity.

We believe the QT Series to be the quietest cabinets available, however, the motor will produce some noise. If noise is an issue, please observe one in operation to gain an appreciation for its noise level.

Upon receiving your order, the company will send you an owner’s manual. Please review it immediately, so you can prepare for the unit’s arrival and set up.
