Wine climate cabinets are an ideal solution for storing wines optimally and bringing them to the right serving temperature. In contrast to conventional refrigerators or wine coolers, wine climate cabinets offer a number of special advantages:

Temperature control

In a refrigerator, temperatures are normally between 0°C and 4°C, which is suitable for preserving food. However, temperatures that are too cold can deprive the wine of its flavor and complexity. A wine cabinet ensures the optimum temperature for storing and sealing wine.

Vibration protection

Refrigerators are opened and closed several times a day, which leads to strong vibrations. Wine cabinets, on the other hand, provide a vibration-free environment to preserve the quality of the wine.

Odor neutrality

Food odors in refrigerators can affect the wine and give it an unpleasant taste. Wine cabinets are designed to keep odors out and preserve wine quality.

Humidity

Standard refrigerators dry out the air to prevent frost formation. Wine cabinets, on the other hand, maintain an optimal humidity level of 60% to 75% to prevent cork from drying out, oxygen from entering or wine from leaking.

Placement of a wine climate cabinet

When placing a wine cabinet, care should be taken to ensure that it cools optimally. Avoid areas with large temperature fluctuations, heat sources and direct sunlight. Sufficient ventilation and space for air circulation are also important. Place wine cabinets on a flat surface to avoid vibrations or tipping and to avoid stirring up the sediment in the wine.

Oak 107

Excellence on every plate

From Japan to Vienna: Oak 107 in the 6th district is Vienna’s only Kobe restaurant and one of Austria’s top addresses for fine steaks and exceptional cuts. Selected by Japanese cattle breeder Muneharu Ozaki himself, Oak 107 has been serving his exclusive meat since mid-October. This is an honor bestowed on only a few restaurants in Europe—including renowned establishments in Munich, Amsterdam, and Barcelona—and makes Oak 107 in Vienna a real hotspot.
