When Vintec invited me to become its Ambassador and to help to share the announcement around this new cabinet, I agreed on the basis that for 20 years I have admired, used and recommended Vintecs. The most important feature of this new cabinet is its dual zones, giving you the freedom to simultaneously set half of the cabinet between 6 and 13oC for your sparkling and white wines, and half between 10 and 18oC for your reds. You could even be clever and run your cabinet a little cooler in summer, when wines will warm more quickly when they’re served. This cabinet also incorporates a Quiet Inverter Compressor with ingenious variable-speed operation. This not only makes it quieter, 25 percent more energy efficient and more stable in reducing vibrations, it also provides greater temperature stability and a longer life compared with traditional, single-speed compressors. This temperature stability is also Vintec’s secret for maintaining optimal humidity. An internal dynamic fan system with carbon filtration provides constant airflow to reduce condensation and mould growth. Vibrations are also minimised through natural Beechwood shelves on telescopic runners that make bottles fully visible and easily accessible. One of the key decisions in choosing the right wine cabinet for your home is the shape and size of the bottles that you need to accommodate. The top shelf of this Vintec is optimised for champagne and white Burgundy-shaped bottles, the second shelf for riesling and white-Bordeaux shaped, the third and fourth for red-Bordeaux shaped and the bottom shelf for red-Burgundy shaped. The shelves are not adjustable, so this cabinet is optimised for lovers of a wide variety of wine styles and bottle shapes. You couldn’t fill it with just champagne or Burgundy, for instance. The top shelf easily accommodates both champagne and white wine magnums, but this cabinet is not for red magnums. Vintec offers other cabinets with removable shelves for these configurations.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a beautiful piece. Purchased on line thinking we could have it inbuilt in our alfresco area. Not so, once the package was opened by our joinery team it stated this cannot be fitted in it has to be free standing. So disappointed that this was not explained at time of purchase. We are happy with the purchase but we would have liked it built into our new alfresco area. So overall a bit disappointed it was not explained at time of purchase.

We’re really impressed with the Vintec Luxe Dual Zone Wine Cabinet. The dual-zone setup is perfect for keeping whites chilled while reds stay at the ideal serving temperature. It looks incredibly sleek with the black glass finish and soft LED lighting, and fits beautifully under-bench without taking over the space. It’s quiet, stylish, and holds a great amount for entertaining, exactly what we need in a busy home that loves hosting. A premium wine cabinet that genuinely feels premium. Highly recommend.
