If you've invested in fine wine, you know the importance of storing it in optimal conditions. With Vigilant's full line of wine cellar refrigeration and humidification systems, and our expertise in wine storage, we can recommend the best wine cellar cooling system to protect your wine collection.


Benefits of Installing a Wine Cooling Unit

  • Maintains the optimum red wine storage temperature of approximately
    55 degrees° F.
  • Cools wine rooms and wine cellars without removing valuable humidity
  • Prevents premature aging and oxidation of fine wines
  • Allows storage and aging of quality wines in perfect conditions for years on end

Ducted Systems

Ducted systems for wine cellar cooling are installed at a remote location, such as an adjoining utility room, and connected to the wine cellar through ductwork. The cool air is blown into the wine cellar and warm air is removed, so the cooling unit itself is "invisible" in the wine cellar design. Systems can be a single unit with both evaporator and condenser, or a "split" system, in which the evaporator and condenser are two separate boxes. Our wine cellar design specialists can recommend the best cooling system for your wine room.

Humidification Systems

While you are planning your wine cellar project, consider these facts about wine storage: Maintaining the correct humidity level is just as important as maintaining the correct temperature. Humidity keeps the cork from drying out and letting oxygen in. Wine cellar cooling systems, while designed not to remove humidity from the wine cellar, will not actively add humidity to the cellar. If you need additional humidity, an active humidification system is used. A wine cellar humidification system will ensure that your wine collection ages properly.

Vigilant's Humiditech Wine Room Humidifier (by Wine Guardian) has recently been improved to include many new features and a more appealing look. The new upgraded systems come either as a stand-alone unit or as an integrated humidifier for Wine Guardian ducted and ducted-split cooling systems. Both provide the optimal humidity level for wine storage with automatic, worry-free control.

The Humiditech is the perfect solution to assure proper 60-65% relative humidity (at 55 degrees) in your wine cellar or wine room.

  • Installation options to work with any wine cellar design
  • Can be added to the wine cellar when using either the Wine Guardian ducted or ductless split systems, or as a stand-alone with other cooling systems
  • Fully digital controls assure pinpoint accuracy when monitoring your humidity levels
