Vinotemp – Premium wine storage

admin — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:05:57 +0000

Wine World, now and authorized dealer!

Vinotemp International, a leader in the wine storage industry, has been building premium wine cabinets for over 25 years. Vinotemp is a full-service manufacturer of custom wood wine cabinets and racking, Wine-Mate cooling systems, and a distributor of quality metal wine cellars. We specialize in all aspects of the wine storage industry with an emphasis on customization. Since 1985, we have sold over 250,000 wine cellars in the U.S. and overseas.

Francis Ravel, the innovator and creator of Vinotemp, was a man ahead of his time. He began his venture by selling and making his own wine. This is where he was first introduced to the idea of placing a cooling unit into a sealed wine cabinet. In the beginning, he had one factory making the wine cabinets and another making the cooling systems. Ravel then began manufacturing the wine cabinets himself. In the ’90s, he decided to ameliorate the problems with the current wine cooling system. With better components, he created the Wine-Mate cooling unit; the only UL approved wine cooling system of the time. His daughter, India Hynes, worked with him for 15 years and is now the President of Vinotemp International.

Our Business Philosophy

Our goal is to provide the three most important aspects of a successful business; Quality, Value and Service. We are known in this industry to provide a high quality product for an affordable price. Our custom built products, made right here in Southern California, are also well known. For those on a budget we provide an entire line of products which produce the perfect environment for a wine collector. Vinotemp is a full service company. The turn around time for our custom cabinets is very fast, and our metal wine coolers can be shipped out the following day. No other manufacturer has the flexibility we have since we make almost everything here in our factory. For those who do not require the flexibility in size and color, our imported products provide customer choices at a value as well.

Our Product Strategy

Vinotemp believes in giving you options so there is no reason to shop elsewhere for wine storage. We offer everything from inexpensive countertop coolers to exotic commercial wood cabinets found at many hotels and restaurants like the Ritz Carlton, House of Blues, Hard Rock Cafes and more.
