Summit Wine Cellars

Do you hear that sound? That’s the thump of a sommelier fainting in anguish. This kind of thing happens every time someone stores wine in a refrigerator drawer, beverage cooler or, heaven forbid, even a cupboard. In fact, improper storage of wine is actually the leading cause of accidents involving sommeliers!

Whether white or red, wine’s known for two traits: flavor and fragility. For all those subtle complexities offered when you swirl a glass, it’s startlingly vulnerable stuff. Keeping your wine tasting its best (as any good sommelier will tell you, once they’ve unsteadily wobbled back upright) is a balancing act against four environmental hazards: light, temperature, vibration, and humidity. If any of those four elements aren’t met with fierce resistance, they call down ruin upon your delicate wine.

That’s why you should invest in a Summit full-size wine cellar — backed by an appliance manufacturer with a sterling reputation. For over 50 years, Summit Appliance has painstakingly designed impeccable and innovative refrigeration. Many models boast quality-of-life features from their other appliances, such as energy conservation (“Sabbath mode,” they call it), audio alarms to warn against temperature shifts, LED lighting to bathe those sunlight-adverse bottles in a gentle glow, and locking glass doors. Summit builds appliances used in everything from hospitals to laboratories! These people know their stuff when it comes to refrigeration; why not let them have a crack at managing wine bottles?

Choose Summit wine coolers to store your wine appropriately. You’ll save a sommelier AND your vintages!

Summit Compact Wine Cellars

Perhaps a formidable cabinet prepared to store well over 100 bottles isn’t your speed; that might be a job for a Summit compact wine cooler. With adjustable chrome or wire shelves, automatic defrost functionality, and beautiful glass doors, you’ll sacrifice nothing to carefully store those classy bottles. Built to fit beneath (or sometimes on!) countertops, Summit compact wine coolers are an elegant way to showcase your vintage vinos in style without compromising on basic wine quality.

Summit Dual Zone Wine Cellars

Upgrade to a Summit dual zone wine cooler, and you’ll open up a lot of opportunity to micromanage those fragile nuances. With access to two separate temperature sections, these appliances are great for storing more than one color; after all, red and white wines require different storage settings (the two never seem to agree on anything, conveniently enough). Summit dual zone wine cellars also offer the chance to provide long-term storage, which we find an increasingly requested feature — simply move a few bottles over to the other zone an hour before a party, and you’ll have hosting-ready wine at the go. What’s not to love about that?
