Tête à Tête

Types of wine cabinets

When choosing, consider not only size but also the main purpose:

Ageing cabinets – stable temperature and humidity for long-term storage and flavour development.
Serving cabinets – set ideal temperatures for red, white and sparkling wines, ready to serve.
Combined cabinets – multiple temperature zones for ageing and serving in one unit.

Capacity

Choose size based on the number of bottles today and your collection’s future growth:

Up to 50 bottles – compact solution for small spaces, wine always at hand.
50–150 bottles – balanced space for ageing and serving; popular for homes and smaller bars.
150+ bottles – for collectors, restaurants and hotels; ample room for long-term ageing.
Modular capacity – flexible shelves and interior layout for standard and magnum bottles.

Size guide:

XS: mini cabinets – up to 17 bottles

S: 30–92 bottles

M: 59–169 bottles

L: 89–234 bottles

Placement

Placement affects function and look. Ventilation, access and light conditions are key:

Built-in – integrates neatly into a kitchen or furniture; requires proper ventilation.
Freestanding – flexible placement in a kitchen, living room or cellar; avoid direct sunlight.
Wine cellar – ideal stable conditions for larger collections.
Living room / study – functional and decorative, with quick access.
Special spots – under stairs, in hallways or pantries; efficient use of space.
