Why choose a Liebherr wine cabinet?

Liebherr wine cabinets offer the ideal storage temperature for wine. The electronic control system and advanced air conditioning technologies guarantee that cabinets maintain a consistent temperature. They can be set to the exact temperature required, within the range of +5 °C to +20 °C.  Liebherr wine cabinets, and most specifically Vinidor models, provide the best conditions for wine to age without disturbance such as vibration or fluctuating temperatures. You can feel assured that your wine will develop during storage in the most favourable conditions.

You can also enjoy wine at the correct serving temperature with the 2/3 and multi-temperature wine cabinets. So whether you are enjoying a quiet evening or hosting an opening night at your restaurant, a wine cabinet can ensure the drinks are served at the most enjoyable temperature!

The air quality of Liebherr wine cabinets ensures a wines taste remains intact. All Liebherr wine cabinets are fitted with activated charcoal filters, which ensure optimum air quality. The active charcoal filters the incoming air, removing contaminants and preventing odours from affecting the taste of wines stored in the cabinet. The replaceable charcoal filters should be replaced every 9-12 months and are available under Liebherr cabinet accessories.

Liebherr wine cabinets ensure the best conditions for both corks and wine! Regulated air circulation and vaporiser system keep humidity levels high. The correct humidity conditions are vital for wine storage. If humidity levels fall below 50%, then corks can shrink, allowing oxygen to penetrate the bottle and evaporation to occur. This can lead to the spoiling of wine, which is never good news!

We also like to highlight that these wine cabinets make very little operating noise, ranging from 35dB(A) to 44dB(A). You can compare this to a quiet bedroom at night or whispers in a library! These cabinets provide gentle storage conditions where you can store wine with minimal, if any, disturbance. The handcrafted wooden shelves are unvarnished to eliminate any harmful vapours that would damage or taint the wine. You can arrange your bottles of wine in opposite directions to maximise shelf space. The Vinidor wine cabinets’ shelves are fitted to telescopic rails. This provides a clear overview of the bottles whilst allowing for easy access. The soft closing door, which closes automatically on reaching a 45° angle (approximately), ensures gentle closure not to disturb the wine and prevents accidentally slamming the door.

Liebherr wine cabinets are also fitted with UV-resistant insulated glass to reflect nearly all the damaging UV radiation. This prevents any deterioration of the wine. In addition, LED lighting illuminates your bottle collection in certain Liebherr models, providing a beautiful presentation that entices your guests!

Liebherr Wine Cabinet benefits include:

• Perfect storage temperature
• Optimum air quality
• Ideal humidity
• Optimum positioning
• Reliable UV protection
