Espace Drive has introduced Cave O Vin, a range of automated lockers designed specifically for storing wine bottles at a constant temperature of 14°C.

Available 24/7, these lockers provide a convenient 'click and collect' solution for wine merchants and professionals, allowing customers to pick up their orders outside traditional store hours.

According to the company, Cave O Vin lockers are fully autonomous and connected, 'offering easy management' through a digital interface. Wine professionals can monitor stock levels in real time, customise access for secure distribution and ensure optimal preservation conditions for their products.

Customers can then collect their orders by scanning a QR code after completing their online payment.

With a sleek design, Cave O Vin units are suitable for various locations, including supermarkets, wine cellars, hotels and wineries.

The lockers are designed in France, with nearly 98% of suppliers based locally. Espace Drive has developed 'unique technologies' to maintain a consistent internal temperature regardless of external conditions.

As part of its commitment to supporting clients, Espace Drive offers assistance in customising the lockers, from marketing support to managing local authority approvals. The company’s expertise in connected distribution also allows for tailored units, with adjustable storage zones for different temperature requirements, making it ideal for wine and champagne storage.
