Here are our Luxury Living top tips to achieving your perfect wine cellar;

  • Get creative – Cellars do not have to be underground, nor are they cool all year round by being underground.
  • Pick your wine rack storage smartly (functionality is key).
  • If your serious about your wine then be sure to select a door that is technically appropriate, remember air flow is required (so sealed doors are a no no).
  • Planning and research will save you. Choose the insulation and materials adequately before construction (planning and research will save you)
  • Decide on the ideal Climate Control equipment, this is important to consistently keep the temperature and humidity needed in a wine cellar.

Luxury Living hope you are feeling inspired to research and plan for your desired, perfect and functional wine cellar.
