MMI-MEDIUM wine cupboard with three temperature modes

A wine cupboard maintains a steady, cool climate that protects wine from heat, light and vibration while allowing it to mature. The unit draws air across a refrigeration coil, lowering its temperature before circulating it through the cabinet. Shelves are spaced to cradle bottles horizontally, keeping the cork moist and the seal tight.

The operator loads bottles onto the adjustable shelves, choosing a layout that balances capacity and bottle size. Once the door is closed, the cupboard cools the interior to the selected temperature and holds it within a narrow band. A fan ensures even distribution, so every bottle experiences the same climate. The three preset modes—+6 °C, +8 °C and +10 °C—cover the range from long-term cellaring to ready-to-serve whites and rosés.

The cabinet is built as a single upright unit with a reversible door. Exterior panels are finished in a brushed stainless-steel look, while the interior uses food-safe materials that do not absorb odours. Shelving adjusts in increments to fit bottles of varying heights and diameters.

Controls consist of a digital panel on the front edge of the top. Three buttons select the desired temperature mode; a fourth button illuminates the interior for viewing without opening the door. The display shows the current set point and the actual temperature inside the cabinet.

The 610 mm width and 550 mm depth create a footprint that fits beneath a standard worktop or against a wall in a service area. The 1961 mm height allows bottles to be organised on multiple levels, increasing capacity without expanding floor space. The weight of the unit ensures stability once positioned, reducing the risk of accidental movement that could disturb sediment.

Cleaning involves wiping the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then drying thoroughly. Shelves can be removed for more thorough cleaning or rearrangement. The refrigeration coil should be vacuumed periodically to maintain airflow and efficiency.

The MMI-MEDIUM is offered with adjustable shelving layouts that change the bottle count from 52 to 86. The price varies by up to 20% depending on the chosen configuration.

In the BHS catalogue, the MMI-MEDIUM is listed under climate-controlled storage for front-of-house and cellar use.
