    Origins, and its Impact 

     

    Vineyards don't just pop up anywhere. Many aspects of geography and climate will affect the grapes. It's part of the language of wine-tasting – and can be found in understand the complexity of our favourite wines. 

    Location, climate, and even geology impacts our final perception of the bottle or winemaker.

     

    Stories like these tell us how the grapes used to make wine can be seen as perfect products of their original environment. The amount of care, selection, and control that goes into the maintenance of a vineyard is nothing short of amazing.

     

    For the people that do it, it's a passion. And it's a passion that we want to pay tribute to – via a Wine Climate Cabinet that stores the finished product in perfectly calibrated conditions.

    Optimal conditions.

    Optimum humidity

    The Wine Climate Cabinet keeps the humidity level at around 70% – an optimum level for wine storage. You can check on the cabinet's humidity levels at any time - either in the UI or in the app.

    Virtually free from vibrations

    The Wine Climate Cabinet's high-quality compressor ensures consistent temperatures in each compartment. And, since wine likes to rest peacefully, this wine climate cabinet is almost vibration-free.

    No harmful light

    Another important aspect to storing wine is keeping it from harmful UV light. The door of our Wine Climate Cabinet protects your collection from lights that could potentially damage the wine.

    Room for the whole collection

    The ASKO Wine Climate Cabinet has room for up to 190 bottles, storing them in roomy, telescopic shelving systems which are easy to access. Small chalkboards let you label your collection on the shelves.

    Three discrete zones

    Since different wines require different temperatures, the ASKO Wine Climate Cabinet contains three temperature zones. They're perfectly sealed off from one another and the temperatures are kept at an exact, even level.

    The right temperature

    Precise temperature controls let you choose whether you want to store and age your wines, or bring them to serving temperature. Range: +5°C max +20°C

    And finally

    After putting so much love into storing your wine, and bringing it to the right temperature, it deserves to be served perfectly. The ASKO Wine Climate Cabinet has a serving area with room for your glassware and accessories and a controllable light for inspecting the wine.

    Questions and answers

You can keep track of your wines in the companion app or in the UI, and by using the integrated camera on the cabinet or in your phone, you can scan a bottle to receive more information about the wine – like tips on how to store it.

    The app and UI provides a complete overview of your collection, information about the wine itself aswell as its locations on the shelves. Keeping track of your bottles is easy. You can also add notes to your bottles, like date-to-drink, or personal notes. The app also features statistics on temperatures, vibration and humidity, meaning you can prove you´ve stored the wine correctly. The app also let´s you control the cabinet´s temperature zones, lighting (both intensity and the RGB lighting in the serving area) and more. There are of course also manuals and tips on how to use the appliance.
    How should different wines be stored?
     
    By maintaining constant optimum temperature, the correct humidity, a virtually vibration and odour-free environment, the wine climate cabinet provides excellent conditions for storing your wine. The optimum storing temperature for wine ranges between 10 to 14 °C. Three temperature zones means you can store most wines in perfect conditions. Air quality is also important. Our Wine Climate Cabinet features active charcoal filters and a 360 airflow system in all compartments to ensure good air quality.
    At what temperature should I serve my wine?
     
    Wines can be roughly classified into white, red, sparking and rosé. They all have different optimal serving temperatures. Often a winemaker has its own recommendations. The serving area is designed to fit a few bottles to prepare for serving. You can also place a decanter here, for red wines before serving.
    • Light white wines: 6–11 °C
    • Dry aromatic white wines: 7–11 °C
    • Full-bodied sweet wines: 8–12 °C
    • Red wines, e.g. merlot: 9–12 °C
    • Light red wines: 10–15 °C
    • Full-bodied red wines 16–19 °C
    • Sparkling wines, Champagne: 5–10 °C
    • Sherry: 5–7 °C
    How should the Wine Climate Cabinet be installed?
     
    We recommend placing the appliance at least 50 mm away from an electric or gas stove and at least 300 mm away from a heat source (e.g. a radiator). Even though the cabinet has UV-safe glass doors, it should not be installed in a place where it is exposed to direct sunlight. We recommend free-standing installation for sufficient ventilation and cooling. The energy consumption can increase slightly if installed slot-in. If the cabinet is installed adjacent to cabinetry, leave at least 50 mm between the appliance and any cabinet above it. You should always leave a 50 mm gap behind the appliance to allow air flow and ventilation.
    What are the chalkboards for?
     
    The chalkboards are included with purchase. Use chalk to indicate what wine you store on each shelf.
    Different shelves in the Wine Climate Cabinet
     
    The shelves are placed of full-extension telescopic rails with soft-close feature. Standard wooden bottle shelves can hold up to 13 Bordeaux sized-bottles (0,75L). Inclination wooden shelves can hold up to 13 Bordeaux sized-bottles. This type of shelf allows storing bottles in two positions: horizontally or tilted. Wooden bottle shelves with grooves can hold up to 10 bottles where the bottles can be stored cross-wise, convient for storing larger bottles.
    Serving area
     
    The serving area has room for your glassware, decanter and accessories and allows you to prepare a wine for serving. It also features a RGB lighting system, meaning you can match the mood of the cabinet´s surroundings. The serving area can be converted into storing space if you wish, and extra shelves are included with delivery. The wooden wine glass hangers allows you to store up to 6 wine glasses which will also be chilled to the set temperature. The serving area features; a detachable bottle holder with wooden dividers, a detachable serving tray with place for glasses, bottles and decanter, an accessory drawer with wooden dividers.
