Whether you’re just getting started or already an avid collector, there’s a cardinal rule when it comes to cellaring: ensure the climate is controlled. It’s not just temperature that’s important. You also need to ensure there’s adequate humidity, proper airflow, protection from sunlight and no damaging vibrations.

The Scandinavian designs can be built into your kitchen or seamlessly integrated into your living room or study. Trusted by wine lovers and professionals, each wine cabinet is designed and built around Vintec’s five pillars of wine storage:

Humidity above 50 per cent
