LITTLE TREASURE FOR BIG PLEASURE
New Mini Wine Storage Cabinet from Liebherr
Burlington, ON: Proving a big idea can be small, Liebherr introduces its mini wine cabinet
with all the big performance features of its award-winning wine storage product line on less
than a 17” x 19” footprint. The new WS 1200 is so compact, it can be plugged in anywhere
or even wall mounted to optimize space, all while providing the perfect storage conditions for
fine wine and accessories.
“Our wine storage product line has expanded to meet the needs of the ever-growing number
of wine enthusiasts in this market,” states Thorsten Platt, Vice President of Liebherr North
America. “The range goes from a large three zone freestanding unit that holds 143 bottles
down to our new mini that holds 12 bottles. Thereʼs a product to suit every space requirement
and lifestyle need,” adds Platt.
On its own in a bar or recreation area, in the master bedroom, well placed in a great room, or
sitting side-by-side with the new Liebherr humidor, the attractive WS 1200 with stainless steel
surround and an integrated recessed handle offers the following features:
• Three solid beech wood shelves and a convenient drawer that maintains a warmer
temperature than the wine compartment to house wine accessories, chocolates or
candies
• Energy efficient LED ceiling lighting controlled with a dimming function and a
permanent “on mode” to create atmosphere without affecting the temperature of the
wine
• Activated charcoal filter for pure interior air quality
• Door lock and door and temperature alarms to alert the homeowner to any changes in
conditions
