Zephyr Debuts Presrv Single, Double Wine Coolers

Zephyr has introduced Presrv – the company’s first collection of wine and beverage coolers. After more than 20 years of leading the kitchen ventilation hood industry, Zephyr president Luke Siow saw an opportunity to combine his love for wine with his passion for product design and technology. The Presrv Dual Zone and Single Zone Wine Coolers combine sophisticated home beverage service with superior craftsmanship, and features that challenge the most luxurious wine refrigerators on the market.

Zephyr Noise and vibration are kept at a minimum with a vibration dampening system to prevent wine disturbance.
The large capacity 24-inch Dual Zone Wine Cooler maintains two distinct temperature zones with PreciseTemp™ temperature control and Active Cooling Technology. This prevents hot and cold pockets and maintains a consistent and even temperature throughout the entire cavity. Wine collectors can store their favorite red and white bottles and ensure they will be at the optimal temperature when it comes time to open and serve.

All Presrv models feature a sleek stainless-steel profile with dual-pane, Low-e Argon-filled Glass. The units can be installed under-counter to blend in with kitchen appliances, or freestanding alongside furniture. A 24-inch Single Zone Wine Cooler is also available, ideal for side-by-side red and white wine storage, or those that prefer to keep a single varietal at one temperature. The Dual and Single Zone Wine Coolers both have a temperature range of 40 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

Full Extension black wood racks glide out effortlessly to showcase every bottle, and 3-color LED lighting in Cloud White, Deep Blue, and Amber add ambiance. Additional features include Door Open Alarm, Electronic Capacitive Touch Controls, Pro-Style Handle option, and Field Reversible Doors.

For more than 20 years, Zephyr has transformed the ventilation industry with design, discovery and care, and played an integral role in kitchen design trends. The company has challenged the perception of what ventilation means in kitchen design and created a new awareness of the importance of a high performing ventilation system.
