2015 Vintec wine cellar offer

[Katy]

I'm currently away and rang them before I left to check in, apparently they were just being shipped from Denmark and were en route - this was about a week and a half ago.

By tomorrow it should hopefully be full !

Just remember, they do NOT like being in enclosed spaces. They need decent ventilation

Little one. The big one is out of our price range.

Wise choice , spend it on airfares instead

That ventilation there is sufficient IMHO. I've had one sitting under a bench (about 10 cms of space at the back, plus several cms around all edges) and it works fine. They can't be installed flush under bench/fully integrated because they are back venting, but it's a fridge after all. You don't need any more ventilation space than a usual fridge.

There's plenty of ventilation there and it is quite a large area about 4 times the size of what you see and opens onto our bedroom, but I take your point.

I note they are at pains in the manual to tell you not to build this model in. They have higher models designed for that and this one needs rear venting.

It came to temp very quickly (within 20 minutes) but that's probably thanks to the Sydney climate, plus the fact it's already quite cool under the stairs.

Been out all day so haven't had a chance to fill it... Tonight's job for sure!

Stacking these things is quite the art, I'm still mastering it, but found the following site:

Can't wait for my 2nd fridge to arrive so I can finally organise the current one properly. It looks so messy now I can barely open it without dropping some bottles.

Hahaha .. I know the feeling. I reeled in shock the other day when one of the bottles I had "floating" on the bottom shelf rolled out of my fridge when I opened it the other day. Fortunately is didn't break!

 

[MadMick10]

Here's the new fridge and the old one I had bought last year side by side. No more wine falling out of my fridges anymore!

 

[Steady]

That looks very tidy MadMick10 - I am only using 1 shelf and the bottles are wedged in too tight to fall out

That's a good idea ... for some strange reason I didn't think to try and play around with the shelf configuration. If it gets tight again in there I may have to play around with the shelving and see what fits best.

Nice! I think you are able ( if you dare) to reverse the door on the right hand fridge to open left to right. It might be ideal if and when moving wine from one to the other.

My fridge came with the parts and instructions how to do that.

Impatiently waiting for ours; I want to get all the boxes off the floor.

 

[Gabriel]

mine is being delivered tomorrow. Glad for weekend delivery, not so glad for no eta other than 1 hours notice.

 

[Captain hum]

Got ours within 5 days of ordering it. Delivered on a Saturday too which was jolly handy. Hubby is now in the process of 'filling' it . I'm happy as it frees up more space in the other one for my whites..

 

[Steady]

Is it still only the small size being delivered, or are the large sized ones starting to show up?

 

[blackcat20]

Looks like ours is due for delivery next weekend, when neither of us will be around to receive it. Sigh. An extra week to wait.
