Why a Top Food Authority Says a Premium Wine Fridge is Worth It
We are thrilled to announce that the Goguette wine cabinet, the brilliant offering from the world-renowned EuroCave Group, was recently featured in a fantastic piece by Bon Appétit. For us, as the exclusive US importer, seeing Goguette highlighted by such a respected authority validates exactly why we knew we had to bring this product to the American market.
The feature perfectly answers a question we hear all the time: is a high-end wine fridge really worth the investment?
The article gets right to the heart of the matter, noting that wine storage is all about "control, control, control." It praises the Goguette, which is "designed and assembled by hand in Fourmies, France," for being a "control freak built to stop all that," maintaining a cellar-perfect temperature with incredible accuracy. This level of quality is precisely what we look for.
So, why are some wine fridges more expensive than others? Bon Appétit addresses this by describing the Goguette as a "serious piece of equipment." This isn't just another appliance; it's a permanent, beautiful piece of furniture. Our philosophy has always been to offer products that provide exceptional value through superior craftsmanship and longevity, and The EuroCave Group's Goguette is a perfect example of this principle in action.
For us, this feature is more than just exciting news. It's a powerful affirmation of our commitment to our customers. We choose to import products that represent the pinnacle of design and performance. When an authority like Bon Appétit confirms that Goguette is a "show piece" worthy of applause for its quality and ability to preserve wine for years to come, it reinforces our mission.
We are proud to be the exclusive source for Goguette in the US, providing our customers with access to what we believe is the best in modern wine preservation.
More About Goguette
Q: How is Goguette different from other EuroCave models?
A: While all EuroCave Group products are premium, Goguette is specifically designed as a showpiece for serving-temperature wines, blending high performance with furniture-quality aesthetics. In contrast to many traditional EuroCave models built for long-term, high-capacity cellaring, Goguette focuses on the beauty of the presentation. It’s perfect for the living room or dining area, keeping your favorite bottles ready to drink at the ideal temperature while making a stunning visual statement.
Q: What is the ideal temperature for long-term wine aging?
A: The universally recognized ideal temperature for long-term wine aging is 55°F (13°C). The Goguette wine cabinet excels at maintaining this precise temperature to protect your investment bottles for years.
Beyond aging, Goguette is also designed to bring wines to their perfect serving temperature. For the best tasting experience, we recommend:
- Whites & Sparkling Wines: Between 45-52°F (7-11°C).
- Red Wines: Between 58-65°F (14-18°C).
Our Single-Zone models can be set to any of the above tempertures. The multi-zone units offer a center space for aging, and unique spaces for both red wine and white/sparkling wines.
Q: Can a Goguette cabinet be built into custom cabinetry?
A: The Goguette is designed and finished on all sides to be used as a freestanding wine cabinet. It uses a rear-venting system, which requires open air space for proper heat dissipation.
However, for those desiring a custom, integrated look within millwork, it is possible. This requires careful planning to ensure adequate ventilation, especially at the rear of the unit. We strongly recommend consulting with your designer, architect, or cabinet maker to create a custom enclosure that allows for sufficient airflow to prevent overheating.
