If you are seriously considering a Marvel Wine Cooler (Marvel refers to them as “Wine Cellars”), rest assured that you’re looking at a quality cooler that will provide you with years of reliable storage for your wine collection. Unlike competitors’ models that are really nothing more than reworked refrigerators, the Marvel cellars have been designed from the ground up with wine storage in mind. They really are the next best thing to a basement wine cellar.

The marvel coolers are driven by compressors, but they run very silently and virtually vibration-free due to the specific compressor that they use as well as the engineered sound and vibration damping that they’ve put in place. These coolers won’t disturb the sediment in your fine wines nor will the sound of the unit be a distraction – even in the quietest home.

Most of the Marvel wine storage units now include their Sentry or Micro-Sentry monitor systems. These monitors keep track of the interior temperature of the cooler and will signal, both visually and audibly, if the door is left ajar or if the interior temperature goes above a set threshold that would impact the storage quality of your wines. They also automatically defrost as needed.

These wine coolers are made to keep the cold inside without using a great deal of energy. The glass doors are double-pane UV-resistant glass filled with argon gas. These doors block damaging UV wavelengths, provide superior insulation, yet allow your wine collection to be visible to you and your guests. Also, the interior lighting can be left on continuously for display without affecting the interior temperature.

The shelves in the Marvel coolers can accommodate all different sizes of wine bottles. They can even handle the large magnum bottles. The shelves also extend for easy placement and removal of your wines. The shelves have a built-in safety stop, so that even when fully loaded with wines, you can securely extend the shelves for easy access. The shelves will fully extend once the door is opened 90 degrees. This means that you don’t have to provide extra room for door swing.

The temperature is displayed in real time on a tasteful amber LED display, and the tough-controls are discreetly placed yet still provide simple, intuitive control of the internal temperature. The unit can be set for any temperature between 40 and 65 degrees F.

Marvel currently makes wine cooler models that will accommodate many different sizes of wine collection or that will fit in many different applications. Their smallest cooler is a 23-bottle model, and their largest will handle 108 bottles. For those needing more flexibility, multiple units can be installed side-by-side and the doors are reversible so that both doors will open to the outside. Marvel also manufactures a full line of dual-zone cellars for storage of wines and champagnes as well as dual-beverage coolers that can be used for both wines and beers.

Finally, the units are available with black exterior and interior with either black or stainless trim or with a white exterior and interior with white trim. The coolers can also be ordered with a door that will accept a custom overlay from your cabinet maker so that the cooler will match the rest of your cabinetry. Regardless of your specific wine storage needs, a Marvel Wine Cooler will provide reliable long-term safe storage for your best wines.
