New Appliance Showcases and Stores Wine Under Cellar-Like Conditions

Dec. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Wondering what to get the oenophile on your list? One gift sure to impress even the most discriminating connoisseur is a fully stocked wine cellar. According to Jennifer Uihlein Straszewski, president of U-Line Corporation, today's popular and stylish wine storage appliances make it possible and practical.

In just 15 to 24 inches of space underneath your countertop, you can have a cellar-like atmosphere perfect for storing and showcasing wine. U-Line, manufacturer of the Wine Captain wine storage and preservation appliances, offers something to please every palette, from traditional cabinets to stylish drawer systems that hold 24 to 48 standard bottles.

"The prelude to the first glass is an important part of the total wine experience. Today, how you store your wine is just as fashionable as how you uncork and decant the bottle," remarks Straszewski. "The Wine Captain is a distinctive appliance designed to showcase your bottles and also protect your wine investment."

Since 1985, U-Line's Wine Captain product line has offered top-of-class models with elegant design elements and multiple temperature zones.

• Glass front doors and drawers are tinted to prevent UV light from penetrating the cabinet while providing a view of the bottles inside.
  
• Wine racks are accented with wood fronts and slide outward providing access.
  
• Multiple temperature zones allow you to store different wine varieties together at individual temperatures.
  
• Stable storage temperatures, 50 percent internal relative humidity and a vibration safe environment provide cellar-like conditions ideal for short or longer-term storage.
  

Wine Captain cabinets provide triple temperature zone technology ideal for storing red, white and sparkling wines at their optimal serving temperatures from top rack to bottom.

The latest addition to the product line, the Wine Captain Drawer offers two drawers that maintain separate temperatures providing flexible storage options.

Digital controllers in all models provide temperature readings and allow you to easily adjust the temperature up or down as storage needs and personal preferences dictate.

The Wine Captain is available nationwide at select appliance retailers and kitchen design centers. Visit www.u-line.com to experience the Wine Captain products and find a retailer near you.
