Wine Cellar Builders

There are many companies that you can use to build your wine cellar. A few questions to ask about your wine cellar builder are:

1. Do they have the knowledge to correctly prepare your wine room? Wine thrives in cool, humid conditions. So does mold. A wine room that is not properly insulated and sealed can lead to a thriving mold population and a huge, expensive, and potentially dangerous problem.

2. How extensive is their experience? It is highly important to hire someone who has experience building wine cellars, preferably someone who has been in the business for many years and who has built many different types of wine cellars. Wine requires a complex and highly nuanced storage system. It takes years to gain an understanding of what kind of system will work in a given climate and space. Vintage Cellars has been building wine cellars for 20 years, has seen products and styles come and go, and knows from experience what works best.

3. Have they done a range of products? A builder might have deep knowledge of small wine closets of the type that apartment dwellers often install, but little knowledge of how to build a large wine cellar. That experience is key can�t be stated enough.

4. Are they not only a builder, but also a designer? A wine cellar should fit into the aesthetic of your home, and provide the kind of visual appeal that will have your guests asking, �Can I see where you keep you wine?� A good wine cellar builder will be able to outfit your cellar with customized racks, light boxes, doors, murals, and so on.

5. Do they understand wine itself? A wine cellar is so much more than a big refrigerator, and your wine cellar builder needs to understand that. Someone with experience in the wine industry will know to consider incorporating wine-specific details like areas for storing bottles of unusual sizes (magnum-sized bottles, for example) and tasting areas.
