Wine lovers understand the importance of proper wine storage. The right environment not only preserves the flavors and other desired qualities of wine but can also add a beautiful aesthetic to any restaurant. Even more important for operators, it can lead to increased (and impulse) purchases that can drive profits from this all-important product sector.
The question, then, is how.
Enofrigo is a prominent name in wine refrigeration solutions that has upped the wine display game with its Wine Library wine display. Here are some details on the beauty and functionality of this game-changing unit.
The Importance of Efficient Wine Storage
If you look at a map portraying wine consumption in the United States, you'll see that Virginia, Maryland, and the greater Washington, D.C. area skew toward the higher end of annual intake. Considering that wine is often marked up at rates of around 200 to 300 percent, that means restaurants can earn $75 to $100 for a $25 bottle of wine. When it comes to that level of profit potential, effective wine storage can be critically important.
Proper wine storage is a science. It's not just about keeping bottles at the right temperature; it's also about preserving the essence of the wine by controlling light and temperature. At the same time, an effective wine display will add to the overall aesthetic of the room while making wines appear desirable to customers. Enofrigo understands this, and their Wine Library is a testament to this commitment.
Stunning Design and Aesthetics
Why are aesthetics important when it comes to wine displays? For starters, a wine display should not be looked at as a piece of equipment. Instead, it's a piece of furniture or décor that can provide the additional benefit of helping a restaurant sell more wine. From the moment a customer enters the establishment and sees a particular bottle inside the display to the point when that customer sees the same wine on a list, suggestive selling occurs while enhancing the guest experience.
The Wine Library from Enofrigo is a work of art. Its large glass doors serve a dual purpose. Not only do they maximize visibility into the case, but they also create a sense of elegance that makes an Enfrigo unit the focal point of the room. Another way the Wine Library adds to aesthetics is by creating a sense of abundance. Mirrors inside the unit multiply the appearance of the bottles, which are illuminated by sleek, LED lighting. Those lights can also be adjusted to set the mode of the case, from vibrancy to a more subdued, softer glow.
Functional Features for Wine Connoisseurs
The Wine Library is not just about looks; it's a connoisseur's dream. Each door compartment operates independently with its own compressor and thermostat. This level of control allows for precise temperature settings, which is vital for storing various types of wine. Whether a cool 55°F for reds or a crisp 45°F for whites, this unit can accommodate. To maintain an ideal wine storage environment, frequent door opening can be a concern. However, Enofrigo's fan-assisted refrigeration ensures quick internal balance, making temperature fluctuations a thing of the past.
Sustainability in Design
In a world increasingly conscious of environmental impact, the Wine Library incorporates sustainable design features. The refrigerant used is R290 propane, a natural hydrocarbon that is environmentally friendly. This not only reduces the carbon footprint but also ensures your wine is stored in an eco-conscious manner. Additionally, every detail of its construction is designed to minimize waste and energy consumption. Magnetic seals and double-paned glass guarantee a perfect seal, preventing leaks and maintaining temperature consistency. Low emissivity glass further minimizes heat transfer, ensuring your collection is safe from external temperature fluctuations.
Integration with Modern Spaces
The Wine Library's versatility is one of its standout features. It seamlessly integrates with any commercial space, from upscale restaurants to boutique wine shops. It can be easily adapted to different architectural styles and interior designs. Enofrigo offers multiple interior configurations and exterior finishes, allowing you to customize the unit to match any aesthetic. Whether your space is sleek and modern or classic and traditional, the Wine Library can be tailored to fit seamlessly.
Enofrigo's Wine Library is more than just a wine storage solution. It's craftsmanship that adds an artisinal element to any dining room. It's innovative design makes it great at the functions, while it's beautiful design provides the aesthetics and its purchase-producing power.
