Vigneron’s Second Generation: The Future of Wine Storage is Here
Vigneron, a name synonymous with quality and expertise in wine storage, has unveiled its highly anticipated second-generation wine cabinets. With over seven decades in the appliance industry and two decades specializing in wine preservation, the brand has consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation. This new line of wine coolers, meticulously designed for the discerning oenophile, seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology with sophisticated aesthetics.
The “Generation 2” or “G2” wine cabinets from Vigneron are engineered to provide the ultimate environment for your wine collection, whether for long-term aging or for keeping bottles at the perfect serving temperature. These new models are packed with features that cater to both functionality and style, solidifying Vigneron’s position as a leader in the market. A key feature of the new generation is the introduction of a new dimmable LED-strip and an LCD-display, allowing for even greater control and ambiance.
One of the standout models in the new collection is the Vigneron Kitchen Collection Integrated, Dubbelzon. This dual-zone wine cooler is designed to be built-in under a counter, offering a sleek and integrated look in any modern kitchen. Its two independent cooling zones can be set to temperatures between 5-20°C, providing the flexibility to store different types of wine at their optimal temperatures simultaneously. This model, which was awarded “Best in Test” in 2023, boasts a capacity of 39 bottles.
Key Features of the Vigneron 2nd Generation:
- Advanced Cooling Systems: The dual-zone cooling systems in models like the Kitchen Collection Integrated allow for precise temperature control, ensuring that both your red and white wines are kept in ideal conditions. For those with a serious collection, Vigneron also offers single-zone cabinets that replicate the consistent temperature of a traditional wine cellar, perfect for long-term aging.
- Elegant and Functional Design: Vigneron’s G2 wine cabinets are available in a variety of finishes, including stainless steel and black, to complement any decor. The doors are often re-hangable for added flexibility in placement. Inside, fully extendable shelves made from high-quality beech wood provide easy access to your collection. The thoughtful design even accommodates larger Champagne bottles, a feature often overlooked in other wine coolers.
- Customizable LED Lighting: A significant upgrade in the second generation is the dimmable LED lighting, available in three colors: white, warm white, and orange. This allows you to showcase your collection in the perfect light, creating a stunning visual display.
- Optimal Storage Conditions: Beyond temperature, Vigneron cabinets are designed to control for all the enemies of wine. They maintain stable humidity levels, operate with low noise and damped vibrations, and feature activated carbon filters to prevent odors from affecting the wine. The doors are fitted with UV-protected glass to shield your collection from harmful light.
- Versatile Shelving and Accessories: To cater to the diverse needs of collectors, Vigneron offers a range of accessories. These include “label-view” shelves that display your bottles with the label forward, presentation shelves for showcasing prized bottles, and even a special Champagne shelf designed in collaboration with Richard Juhlin. For added convenience, a “flex-box” is also available for storing bottles upright.
Vigneron’s commitment to quality is evident in their 5-year guarantee, providing peace of mind for your investment. With a range of sizes and configurations, from under-counter models to full-height wine walls, the Vigneron 2nd generation offers a solution for every wine lover, from the casual enthusiast to the serious collector. As Vigneron continues to innovate, their second-generation wine cabinets stand as a testament to their passion for wine and their dedication to preserving it perfectly.
