Avintage Wine Cabinets
Avintage are France's premium wine cabinet manufacturer, providing high quality ageing cabinets designed specifically with the long term storage of wines in mind. Their freestanding wine cabinet collection, looks great and performs even better with features such as LCD touch screen displays on certain models and active humidity monitoring so you can see the internal humidity of the cabinet.
The DVP range are polyvalent models, meaning they have three temperature zones. This is due to the internal fans being turned off, cool air is introduced at the bottom of the wine cabinet and gradually warms as it rises through the cabinet, creating independent temperature zones that can be used for white wine serving, storage in the middle and red wine serving temperature at the top - a real multi functional wine cabinet.

How do Avintage cabinets manage the humidity?
As with most wine cabinets, the humidity is managed by the excess water vapour condensing on the back wall during the cooling phase - this then drips down the back wall of the cabinet and into a small container located next to the compressor which then evaporates off due to the heat from the compressor.
