How to Have a Custom Wine Cellar at Home

While most wine is consumed within the first 24 hours of purchase some wine lovers want to hold on to their prized wine possessions longer than a day or even a year.  Whether you are a wine collector looking for a place to show off your star-studded wine collection or you simply want to make sure your wine is stored at the proper temperature, finding the right custom wine cellar can be simple and add to the value of your home. The secret to building a stellar wine cellar starts with asking the experts.

Reporting for her award-winning channel Wine Oh TV, Monique Soltani heads to a wine enthusiast’s recently remodeled San Francisco home and shows us when it comes to building a custom wine cellar the size of your home doesn’t have to matter.

Wine Cellar Renovation Challenges

1900 square foot condominium in San Francisco

No basement location available

The wine cabinet could only be placed in an exposed kitchen area so it needed to be beautiful and fit in with the architecture of the home

The wine cabinet was a second tier request to a newly remodeled space and was not part of the original plan

No ready made cabinets would fit the space

Wine Cellar Features

500 bottle 8’ x 4’ cabinet

Walnut exterior cabinetry

Intricate cherry wood racks on the interior – unfinished so fumes from stain would not penetrate the corks

Multiple custom designed racks to accommodate specific wine varietals

A bar service center

Double pane glass for climate control

Thermal pane doors with tinting to protect from light exposure

A forced air system

Multiple storage sections for storing wines at different temperatures
