From the vine to the wine
In the past cellars were planned and built so that they could maintain a temperature not
exceeding 14 to 16°C for a whole season unattended. Nowadays not many cellars are
capable of this. Yet, a cellar that deserves this name, must be impervious against important
temperature changes, be as humid as necessary and at the same time, be ventilated, dark
and insensitive to vibrations.
That is why we have spent the last fifteen years, surrounded by specialists and passionate
and demanding amateurs, projecting, developing, testing and producing thousands of air-
conditioning systems for the conservation and ageing of wine.
If you follow our advice and adhere to our recommendations, your wines will be able to
fully develop. Before installing and using your WINEMASTER® FONDIS cellar air-
conditioning, you must read the following instructions carefully.
If you have any questions, please contact us!
And so... even if several long years may be necessary until the wine fully develops its
richness, the big and exciting day will come when you can uncork your wine. Carefully take
the bottle, do not cut at the top right next to the neck of the bottle, seize a beautiful
corkscrew, remove the cork without causing vibration and sit back and enjoy!
But that is a different story…
