Touching Display
Liebherr’s new undercounter wine cabinet offers a touch-open feature and closes automatically if the cabinet isn’t fully opened, helping preserve the vintages it stores. The cabinet features two separate temperature zones and a charcoal filter, along with LED lighting and fully extendable shelving. Electrical components are all integrated in the bottom of the unit to minimize vibration and ensure wine stays undisturbed. liebherr.us
Fountain Drinks
Keep your wine glass handy. Dacor’s unique WineStation was a KBIS show-stopper. The unit can keep four different bottles of wine fresh for dispensing for up to 60 days, and features a temperature range of plus-or-minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Wine lovers can adjust pour volume settings from 1/4 ounce for tasting up to full 8-ounce glasses. dacor.com
Pan Handler
Compact kitchens can also get the high-end touch. Thermador’s 30-inch five-burner Pro Harmony range is the brand’s first five-zone cooktop in that size. The range is engineered to put out up to 59,000 Btus with only 300 CFM venting required. An innovative back wall venting technology reduces temperatures by 20 to 25%, allowing for zero clearance against a rear wall. The smaller size is ideal for condos and secondary kitchens. thermador.com
