Question to Ask |
The Vinothèque Advantage |
| Cooling System |
Does it matter who manufactures the cooling system?
The cooling system is one of the most important components of your wine cabinet. Make sure your cooling system is built by a trusted manufacturer, that it is quiet, that the temperature control has electronic precision and that the temperature remains relatively constant inside the cabinet. Find out if your wine cabinet requires a drip pan — if so, you'll need to clean it frequently to ensure that mold doesn't grow inside the wine cabinet, creating bacteria and odors that might harm your valuable wine collection.

Advanced QT Cooling System
All Vinothèque living space wine cabinets include the technically advanced QT
cooling systems. The WhisperKOOL cooling systems are designed and manufactured
by Vinothèque, the technology leader in wine storage and refrigeration
technology. Vinothèque's QT System is the single most advanced wine
cellar temperature and humidity maintenance unit in the world.
Vinothèque's wine cabinets feature custom WhisperKOOL cooling systems that use electronic temperature control and have digital displays, thereby allowing you to precisely set the desired temperature inside your wine cabinet. All Vinothèque wine cabinets feature a Liquid Measuring thermostat. The liquid measuring thermostat comes with a probe that measures the liquid temperature in a wine bottle for the most accurate temperature monitoring and control.

| Cooling Efficiency, Noise & Humidity |
What's the difference between forced air and cold wall cooling systems?
Wine cabinets with forced air cooling systems have lower temperature fluctuations inside the wine cabinet compared to traditional cold wall cooling system. A forced air cooling system has the benefit of minimal maintenance, but by its nature creates more noise and vibrations than an advanced cold wall system.
Properly engineered, advanced cold wall systems can offer unsurpassed sophistication, performing the cooling without any vibrations, superior quietness and efficiency. |
QT & Forced Air Cooling Systems
Vinothèque offers two distinct cooling systems for its wine cabinets.
Vinothèque cooling options start with the economical WhisperKOOL
forced air cooling system, which is considered to be the industry standard.
We think that forced air systems are best for non-living quarter environments
such as a garage or cellar.
Vinothèque wine cabinets for location in living quarters come standard
with the advanced QT cooling system, which offers cooling
sophistication, performance and efficiency beyond what forced air system can
offer.

| Cooling System Presentation |
Does the color of the cooling system matter?
If you have glass windows on your wine cabinet and your cooling unit is painted a light color, it is likely that the cooling unit is visible even when the wine cabinet doors are closed. Most people prefer not to see the cooling unit when the doors to their wine cabinet are closed.

Custom Dark Colored Powder Coating
All Vinothèque wine cabinets are sold with Vinothèque's own cooling
units, ensuring a comprehensively engineered wine storage solution.Our
wine cabinet cooling systems are all powder coated in a dark green, black
color that help the units blend into the color of our tinted cabinet windows.
As a result, the cooling systems visually appear optimally "hidden" inside
the wine cabinet when the doors are closed. As a result the, the wine bottles
stored inside are featured which is how it should be. |
