Vino On Demand: EuroCave SoWine Wine Bar

EuroCave SoWine Wine Coolers

If you enjoy a glass of vino every so often, but don’t care to deal with the storage (and taste effects) of uncorked wine, the EuroCave SoWine Home Wine Bar is a clever solution. Ideal for either the yacht bar or home bar, the SoWine will preserve and chill two bottles for up to 10 days, keeping them at-the-ready for a quick pour. Simply place an uncorked bottle of wine in the chamber, close the door, push down on the vacuum cylinder and set the temperature. Each chamber operates separately so you can chill red and white to their respective temperatures. Perfect for drop-in guests, a quick glass with dinner, or if you and your spouse prefer a different varietal. The SoWine can also be used as a traditional wine fridge to chill unopened bottles.
