Progressive Racking - Offers 3.5 wide slots to securely hold Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah wine bottles.
Traditional Racking - Maximizes storage capacity and features slots for Bordeaux bottles with up to two columns for champagne bottles.
Universal Racking - Stores a diverse collection of bottle types by incorporating one column each for splits and magnum-sized bottles, up to three columns for champagne bottles and the remaining space for Bordeaux bottles. Note that this racking configuration may decrease the cabinet’s overall bottle capacity.
Display Row - Showcases fine wine collections by dedicating one row to display bottles horizontally across the cabinet.
Vintage View - Allows for easy recognition of wine collection. This metal rack design also preserves your wine bottles by holding them at an angle which creates more even airflow. No ongoing maintenance is required for this racking option. Additional charges apply.
High capacity Metal Racking - Offers 30 percent more storage capacity than traditional wood racking designs. This metal rack option also includes increased flexibility in storing various bottle sizes and removable shelves to accommodate larger bottles.

Select Cooling and Venting

Selecting appropriate cooling and venting solutions will ensure high performance of your wine cabinet. Venting can be aligned to your specific requirements. Top and front venting options are most common; however Vinotheque may provide rear and side venting options if it is best with your wine cabinet location.

2500 WhisperKOOL - (Recommended) Offers a liquid bottle probe to ensure optimal performance of your wine cabinet. The user-friendly control panel provides adjustable humidity control, energy saving and quick chill modes, an anti-frost function and various troubleshooting alarms.

Top Venting. Draws air into the cooling unit from the rear. Offers top venting exhaust which allows the cabinet to be placed near a wall. We recommend this option for all built-in wine cabinets.

QT Cooling System - Minimizes noise while maximizing the unit’s ability to cool. This system is the world’s single most advanced wine cellar temperature and humidity maintenance unit. It employs natural convection refrigeration which allows the cabinet to cool from the rear forward resulting in higher efficiency. The system’s temperature equalizer ensures proper cooling of your wine cabinet.

Front Venting - Employs two ventilation fans mounted inside the top of the cabinet to draw air from beneath the cabinet across condenser coils and out the front of the unit (at the top). This option increases the cabinet height by three inches and encloses the cabinet’s backside. The QT Cooling System requires front venting to accommodate wine cabinets placed in tight spaces with limited ventilation. We recommend you prepare your wine cabinet space after receiving this cooling unit to ensure proper mounting.
