Environment of the Vault 55 Wine Cellar
Our Cellar provides the ideal conditions for your wine
Vault 55 is an actual cellar
It’s more than fourteen feet below street level and naturally maintains constant cool temperatures even on the hottest days. Typical above-ground storage can hit 120 degrees in the summer during power outages. That spells a quick death to gently aging wine.
Redundant refrigeration systems
Our redundant refrigeration systems provide continuous fail-safe cooling in the event one unit stops working. During extended power outages we have you covered, our 13.3 liter diesel-powered electric generator with 2,000 gallon fuel storage capacity provides over two weeks of continuous electrical power to our redundant cooling systems.
Ultra humidity control system
Our ultra humidity control system ensures your wine is stored at a perfect relative humidity of 70%.
World-class High airflow refrigeration system
Our wine cellar has a world-class high airflow refrigeration system which allows our vaults to maintain a perfect relative humidity by reducing the amount of moisture removed from the air.
Maximum Insulation
We utilize closed cell, open cell and thick concrete to block heat, cold and humidity from outside.
Ultraviolet filtration and air cleansing system
Similar to those used in hospitals and clean rooms, our ultraviolet filtration and air cleaning system removes organic compounds and sterilizes the circulating air. The UV wavelength (between 240 and 280nm) destroys microorganisms to improve long-term label appearance, reduce bottle taint and control mold and mildew.
