WineMaster^® PC15 Cellar Conditioner

At Kings Winehaus we have been involved in the preservation of wine since 2000. We offer you the complete package: consulting, designing, constructing, fitting out and the ongoing service and support.

We are the importers and distributers of the Fondis Winemaster cellar conditioners. Made in France these high quality specialised machines are the world leaders. First founded in 1978 in the Alsace region they started designing and manufacturing wine cellar conditioners in 1984 filling a void that passionate wine lovers had which was the ability to store and mature wine without the need of having a cave or basement surrounded by the perfect chalky soil that has natural thermal stability. Fondis Winemaster pride themselves in creating wine cellar conditioners that are as elite as the wine that is produced in France.

Around the world, France is renowned for its wines, its food, its special character and its high level of industrial expertise. What these have in common is the desire to produce high-quality work. This is what inspires the men and women at Winemaster. Behind every detail, innovation, and feature, there is the forethought, research and hard work of a passionate team. This is without doubt what makes WineMaster the leader in wine cellar conditioners in Europe.

A common misconception is that a below ground basement or cellar without temperature control is sufficient for long term wine storage. However vast changes in temperature still occur between seasons. This change can prove detrimental to the storage of your wine. There is an ideal humidity range necessary to keep the cork moist, to avoid it from shrinking and allowing air into the bottle. This is one of the reasons why we keep wine bottles lying down. Too much humidity will help propagation of fungus and rot which will damage the wine labels and also develop bad smells in the cellar which will affect the aroma of the wine. Fine wine is fragile, if kept at a high temperature it will age too quickly and turn to vinegar. If the temperature is too cold the ageing process will slow down and eventually stop. Some of the best wines, both white or red if kept in stable and controlled conditions, can keep for decades. All wine, regardless of variety, needs to be stored at the same consistent stable conditions.
