Wine Cellar Installers

What can a wine cellar designer do?

Wine cellar designers will first need to assess whether you can have a cellar installed and where it is best placed. If you already have a basement or underground space, then there shouldn’t be too much problem, but if you don’t, a lot of work needs to go into this pre-build stage to make sure everything will be safe and under regulations for your wine storage solutions.

Your wine cellar design may depend on how many wine bottles or barrels you have, or plan to have, and how you’d like the design to fit with the rest of the house. You may also need to think about the access to the cellar. Do you want a spiral wine cellar with a twisting staircase, a normal set of stairs or a wine room that you can access through a set of doors? Bespoke wine cellar designers will be able to discuss your wine storage solutions with you and advise you on the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Once the shell of your cellar is built and the wine cellar technology (humidity and temperature control, UV protection and ventilation) has been installed, you’ll probably need some way of actually storing your wine. Wine cellar designers can create all sorts of wine storage solutions for you, including bespoke wine racks for your cellar or custom wine cabinets that can be freestanding or built into the walls of your wine room. Again, your wine cellar designer can advise you on how best to store your wine and what wine rack designs will work for your collection.

If you want to know how to build a cellar when working on a whole new house or extension then you should discuss your plans with any other professional working on the project, such as your architect, interior designer or builder, as building a cellar can be a large structural job that will affect other areas of your build.
