A leader in the manufacture and importation of wine cellars in Canada, CAVAVIN draws on more than 40 years of history to offer you wine conservation and service products of unrivaled quality.
Constant temperature
Extreme temperatures and variations should be avoided. A temperature above 15 °C accelerates the aging process while a temperature below 9 °C slows it down.
Using a thermostat specially designed for CAVAVIN, our cellars offer a constant temperature set at 12°C, with a variation of +/- 2°C. This variation is ensured by our well-insulated double box (see vibrations).
No vibrations
Calm is the friend of wine. Vibrations keep sediments suspended and prevent the wine from blossoming.
Our cellars are equipped with independent boxes separated from each other by specially designed thermal insulation.
The outer casing serves as an aesthetic while the inner casing ensures a vibration-free environment for your bottles.
In addition, the compressor is installed in an independent space and rests on vibration-absorbing pads.
Hygrometry
Air that is too dry dries out the corks and causes the wine to evaporate and, consequently, excessive oxidation. Air that is too humid degrades the labels.
CAVAVIN cellars produce and maintain an ideal humidity level thanks to the condensation that accumulates there.
Excess moisture is removed through a drain that empties into a bowl under the compressor. The excess evaporates as the compressor heats up.
Aeration
As the wine breathes through the cork, most of our cellars are equipped with a ventilation system. All our cellars are made with odorless components to prevent the spread of bad odors.
Darkness
UV protection is essential. CAVAVIN cellars are equipped with solid doors or glass doors to filter UV rays and ensure good sealing.
Our glass doors ensure optimal thermal performance and are ENERGY STAR certified. This benchmark measurement is considered to be the best on the market.
In addition, the interior light, although weak, allows the bottles to be distinguished and gives a special character to the cellar when it is used as a display.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT CELLAR FOR YOU?
Types of cellars
The service cellars will allow you to begin your passion by offering you the possibility of keeping your wines at the ideal temperature.
The cellars, for connoisseurs, will allow you to keep your best bottles until they reach their optimum condition.
The number of bottles to keep
Don't underestimate how quickly the number of bottles in your cellar or pantry will increase.
We recommend keeping a minimum of 25% free space in your new cellar to accommodate your future favorites.
One or two zones?
The single zone cellar will maintain a uniform interior temperature for storage of 12 degrees Celsius.
Dual-zone wine cellars offer the ability to maintain one temperature for white wines and a second for other wines for ready-to-serve.
The location of your cellar
Space problem? Opt for a built-in wine cellar with a glass door that will enhance your space.
If you plan to integrate your wine cellar into your living or dining room, consider a wine cellar built with a wood species that will complement your decor.
Your budget
CAVAVIN understands the importance of quality and price ratio. Better, we believe that an added value is essential: the capacity of your cellar.
This is why, for example, a cellar with a laminated metal finish from the Majestika collection with a capacity of 200 bottles will only cost around 20% more than its 90-bottle equivalent.
