N'FINITY 340-bottle Wine Cellar by Wine Enthusiast

N'FINITY wine cellars are a fairly new line of wine cabinets launched by Wine Enthusiast, manufacturer and retailer of small electric wine coolers, premium wine cabinets like Le Cache, Vinotheque and EuroCave, custom wine cellars and other wine accessories both through their website and catalogs.

The company decided to design and manufacture a new wine cabinet line that corrects common problems (accommodating wine bottles of varying sizes, temperature requirements for storing different types of wine etc.) reported by wine cooler/wine cellar owners. That's how N'FINITY wine cellars were born.

Five models are currently available:

a 23-bottle two-zone wine cooler
a 36-Bottle Double Door 2-Zone cooler
a 50-bottle dual-zone unit
a 100-bottle multi-temp wine cellar
a 170-bottle two-zone wine cabinet, and
a 340-Bottle multi-temp wine cellar.

Read a review on the largest model the N'FINITY 340-bottle wine cellar with multiple temperature zones to find out about main technical features and to see whether it meets your wine storage needs and budget.

N'FINITY 340-Bottle Multiple-Zone Wine Cellar

The N'FINITY 340-bottle wine cellar is a double door unit with independently controlled temperature zones for setting both storage and serving temperatures for reds, whites and sparkling wines.

Each side of the cabinet interior holds up to 170 bottles of wine on 15 pull-out natural hardwood shelves. The N'finity 340 is in fact two N'finity 170 models put together side by side.

Each cabinet side has two temperature zones with digital controls and display.

The two tinted, see-through glass doors are reversible and have stainless steel trim and curved metal handle. The doors come with built-in security lock.

All N'Finity wine cellars use compressor cooling with fan air circulation. All models vent in the front allowing flexibility in placement: it can be built in kitchen cabinetry or stand it on a floor in an entertainment room or den.

Control Panel

The digital control panel is integrated in the zone partition of each cabinet side. The panel includes the following features:

On/Off for turning on/off the wine cooler,
Temp. Set Upper Zone: Adjusts and displays, via LED, the desired temperature (°F) of the upper zone.
Temp. Set Lower Zone: Adjusts and displays, via LED, the desired temperature (°F) of the lower zone.
Light - for turning on or off the interior illumination
Red, White, Sparkling,
Select (upper or lower) - allows you to select to control either the upper zone or the lower zone.

Setting the Temperature

Note: In order to maintain optimum operation the lower compartment should be set to minimum 4 degrees higher than the upper compartment.

Make sure the cabinet is properly connected to power according to the manual.

Press "On" to turn on the cellar.

Press the "Select" button to choose the Upper or Lower Zone

Set the desired temp. for the upper/lower zone by pressing the + (Up) and - (Down) buttons. The upper zone can be set between 41°F to 60°F (factory preset is 41°F), while the lower zone's temp. range is 45°F - 64°F (factory preset 45°F).

If you set the Upper or Lower zone between 52°F - 64°F, the LED light next to “RED” will light up, indicating that you are within the recommended range for serving Red Wines.
If you set the Upper or Lower zone between 44°F - 51°F, the LED light next to “WHITE” will light up, indicating that you are within the recommended range for serving White Wines.
If you set the Upper or Lower Zone between 41°F - 43°F, the LED light next to “SPARKLING” will light up, indicating that you are within the recommended range for serving Sparkling Wines.

In case of a power outage, all previous temperature settings will be automatically saved and each compartment will return to the previous temperature setting, a useful feature that many wine coolers lack.
