February 2020 - Next cabinet container for Canada is expected later in the summer. Arrival of Wine KoolR's into the US is unknown at this time. The factory in China had some parts issues after their move in summer 2018. It's just ridiculous that it's taking this long to get set up, BUT, production is halted until one key staffer gives the sign off. ALSO - The Coronavirus has halted production in the factory, so timelines really are unknown.
We are putting everyone on an email waitlist, we are not taking actual pre-orders for customers due to uncertain timelines, please inquire if you would like to be added to the list.
Please specify if you want to be on the US or Canada wait list.
May 2015 - QUALITY ALERT - we find that the finish on some of the cabinets is not up to our expectations. Please be advised that with a recent move of the factory in China the quality control has not been as strong. As such, there may be minor imperfections in the finish. Please note, this does not affect the overall quality of the cabinet and the Wine KoolR's can not be beat in price or longevity in the market - in production since the 1980's. We do feel the need to point these recent issues out to our customers to maintain reasonable expectations.
VINTAGE KEEPER changed the branding of the name around 2013 and is now known as WineKoolR or Wine KoolR. A variety of sizes are available ranging from the smallest Imperial Slimline with 110 bottle capacity to the largest Goliath Double deep cabinet which allows for storage of 800 bottles.
110 - now Imperial Slimline -
220 - now Imperial Double
250 - now Sovereign Slimline
500 - now Sovereign Double
The newly designed Vintage Keeper - WineKoolR wine cellars have 20% more bottle capacity, lightning fast assembly and over 200% more insulation value than the older generation of Vintage Keepers. The cabinets are made of reinforced stackable heavy duty honeycomb plastic which allowed the opportunity for increasing the insulation levels while reducing the overall weight and size. The shelves are also made of plastic with metal support bars running throughout.
A neat new feature - Different than the older generation: The current cabinets are "hot air up" meaning they need unobstructed air flow at top of cabinet, but this allows the cabinets to be placed closer to the wall at the rear of the cabinet.
November 2014 - The BLACK - Ebony cabinets have all reverted to being a glass door. For now the Mahogany cellars will have bullet-proof (Lexan) glass doors (like Plexiglass), but this could change at any time.
The production of older version of Vintage Keeper was likely stopped around 2009, all units produced since then are new material, new format, new sizes.
These Wine KoolR cabinets are NOT meant to be built in. They need LOTS of space for air circulation. At a VERY MINIMUM you need. 3" space needed at back and on sides for ventilation and 4" space required on top BUT we do not recommend putting the cabinet into a confined space.

Where to put Your Vintage Keeper ™ Wine Cabinet:
- The Vintage Keeper ™ is a top-exhausting wine cabinet and therefore is not to be built-in in any way. The Vintage Keeper is to sit in a climate controlled room that is well ventilated. These wine cabinet are not meant to be built in. Only units which specify “zero-clearance” or “built-in” can be built into cabinetry.
- Cold cellars, garages, attics, hot laundry rooms, or outdoors are not suitable places for a Vintage Keeper to be placed. The room in which a Vintage Keeper is placed must not exceed 80F / 27C.
- Not designed for commercial use.
- All Wine KoolR Wine cabinets require 3" space at back and on sides for ventilation and 4" space required on top
Bottle capacity is based on standard bordeaux bottles with a 10% mix of half bottles - so the actual bottle capacity indicated may be slightly overstated. These cabinets are rated in bottle capacity by very efficiently loading bottles into the cabinet; the manufacturer has been able to achieve the stated capacity based on standard bordeaux bottles and 10% half bottles but you will likely have slightly less bottle capacity based on various sized bottles. Please note, some manufacturer's may indicate large bottle capacity for similar size cabinet but this may entail a large amount of bulk storage which can be awkward.
The Vintage Keeper Wine Cabinet is built to CSA-US, CSA-Canada and CE International overall certification.
See Manuals & Warranties tab for assembly instructions.
Vintage Keeper wine cabinets in older generations have also been known as: VP, NUVO , TWE , Tuscany Plus, Odyssey or Tuscany Odyssey.
