Technology meets tradition. Connect with your wine.

The ASKO Wine Climate Cabinet won't just take perfect care of your wine. It learns about it, talks to you about it, pays attention to it and remembers it. You might even say that it enjoys it as much as you do. It contains all of the advanced care and storage features that a valuable collection deserves. It’s capable of storing a large collection – up to 189 bottles – in the right conditions for storing or serving. It features three individual controllable temperature zones, pure charcoal-filtered air, virtually vibration-free compressors and a sophisticated shelf system and layout. The three temperature zones are perfectly sealed off from one another, humidity is monitored, and the door's glass protects the contents from UV light.

A wine climate cabinet that brings centuries of expertise right up to date.

Given the amount of care, attention and passion that goes into producing the grape, and the wine, we believe that it’s only right to have a wine cabinet that pays the same kind of respect to the finished product.

What is a wine climate cabinet?
 
Simpler wine coolers or chillers are often smaller than a wine cabinet and uses thermoelectric cooling. They are designed to simply keep a wine at an optimal serving temperature. ASKO´s wine climate cabinet holds up to 189 bottles and uses state-of-the-art almost vibration-free compression cooling, humidity control and three temperature zones, which means you can store, age and serve the wine in perfect conditions.
What is Vivino and how is the ASKO wine climate cabinet connected to it?
 
Vivino is the world´s largest database of wine information. The ASKO wine climate cabinet is connected to Vivino both via its companion app (ConnectLife) and via the UI on the cabinet itself. 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.
How do I scan my bottle?
 
Using either the built-in camera on the cabinet itself, or with your phone using the companion app (ConnectLife) you can scan your bottle and receive more information about the wine.
What other connected features does the Wine Climate Cabinet have?
 
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.
Touch-screen display
 
The touch-screen on the cabinet is a full-color TFT screen, which allows you to change settings, add wines to your inventory and much more. Next to the screen is the built-in camera, with which you can scan wine bottles to receive information from Vivino.
What does the door consist of?
 
The door is a 3-layered, energy-efficient glass door. The UV protection stops 99% of sunlight to enter the cabinet. The door has a soft-close function and closes automatically when opened at an angle less than 20°.
What is the capacity of the Wine Climate Cabinet?
 
In standard configuration (two storing zones + serving area) it can store up to 140 bottles (Bordeaux size). If converted to three storing zones, it can store up to 189 bottles.
Inventory management
 
There are two modes to the inventory management, generic and exact. Generic lets you save bottles just on the shelves, and exact lets you place a bottle on a specific spot on a shelf.
Do I need to defrost the cabinet?
 
No, the wine climate cabinet is defrosted automatically.
Is the door reversible?
 
Yes, the door is reversible.
