A climate-controlled residential wine room is carefully designed and constructed to facilitate long-term wine storage as well as provide an elegant and comfortable space for entertaining.  This recently completed custom wine cellars Naples Florida project features a combination of a wine storage room and a wine tasting area.

Most of the components in this wine cellar project are entirely made of reclaimed wine barrels, from the wine racking down to the wine cellar flooring.  Using recycled oak wine barrels is an environmentally friendly approach to wine cellar construction.  Reclaimed wine barrels are given a new lease on life turned into unique and sustainable products, which can enhance the appearance of any living space.

The wine racks are constructed from Vintique reclaimed wine barrels with a natural finish.  The curved display appearance of the racking system allows wine bottles to be displayed cork-first.  The natural characteristics of the oak wine barrels bring out a distinct aroma and diversity in coloring coming from the wines previously stored in them.

Wine Barrel Flooring

The floor covering comes from stave wine barrel flooring that displays hoop impressions from removed metal staves that once kept the wine barrels intact.  Matching countertops were also constructed from a cooperage barrel, which features the label and insignia of the corresponding winery.  The distinctive markings on wine barrels create a one of a kind appearance in a wine cellar space.

The Wine Tasting Room

The spacious entertainment and wine tasting room are isolated from the actual wine storage room.  The Italian Renaissance feel of the tasting area is enhanced by a large Italian painting and baroque ornaments, such as the heraldic shield and epees on the wall, and the gothic chandelier.  The wine tasting room includes a long table with 10 velvet cushioned chairs, a cabinet with a glass stemware rack, a cooperage tabletop and a cigar humidor with glass panels.

The wine storage area has a large tempered window that faces towards the entertainment section of the wine cellar.  The glass window provides a clear view of the wine collection, as well as of the stunning interior of the storage space.

A Barolo style wine cellar door with heavy distressing seals the wine cellar entryway.  A wine cellar door is an important component of storage space because its presence helps keep the desired climate conditions for aging wine collectibles from fluctuating.

An efficient wine cellar door must have weather stripping all around the jambs and a retractable door seal unit at the bottom.  Maintaining a tight seal prevents the cool air from escaping out of the wine room.

Wine Cellar Refrigeration System

Consistent and stable temperature and humidity level is vital to the proper aging of wines.  The right type of wine cellar refrigeration system ensures that the ideal wine storage environment is achieved.  For this custom wine cellars Naples Florida project, the builders installed a 6000s cooling unit by CellarPro.  A remote control unit and display panel were mounted outside the wine room for easy temperature monitoring.

The evaporator unit was installed above the large glass window, while the condenser was located outside the home.  The units were connected by a line set consisting of electrical wiring and copper tubing.

The overall wine room design was in tune with the Italian style architecture of the home.  The addition of a custom wine cellar space to this elegant home complemented its opulent and luxurious appearance.

Categorize Wines in Your Wine Cellar to Find a Bottle Easily

 

Investing in a home wine cellar is common nowadays, especially in Dallas, Texas. They provide wines the best storage conditions, add value to your home, allow easy access to your wines, and provide a place to entertain friends. After your residential custom wine cellar is built, it is wise- especially for larger collections- to organize wine bottles in a manner that will allow you can easily find a certain type of wine.

You don’t want your guests to wait for a long time while you’re having difficulty looking for the wine you want to serve. Below are some organization options for your wine collection.

 Organize Wines by Brand, Region or Varietal  

WCS FEB17 2Storing wines of the same brand in one area of your wine rack is one great way to organize your Dallas Texas wine cellar. This option is ideal if you buy wine in bulk.

Many wine lovers collect wines from different regions. The region from where wine originated contributes a lot to its taste, so in order for you to find a bottle that best pairs with your dish in no time it is recommended that you keep them by region.

If you want to drink a glass of Chardonnay now and a different variety tomorrow, there’s no better way than to store your wines according to the varietal. You can separate whites from reds in your wine room.

 According to Wine’s Maturity 

It is recommended that you keep wines intended to be drunk sooner on one side of your wine room and those that require longer aging periods on the other side. Make sure to keep everyday wines in your wine cellar where they can be accessed easily.

Bottle Tags or Description Tags

Categorizing your bottles will be easy with bottle tags which can be hung around the wine bottle’s neck. Indicating the brand, varietal, or region on the tag will allow you to easily locate the wine you need without flipping every bottle in your home wine cellar. You may also use color-coded tags.

                       

Software Programs and Wine Management System 

You can get software programs that allow for wine cellar owners to manage and organize their wine collection in a hassle-free way. The wine management system is usually used in commercial wine cellars, but it is now recommended for installation in residential wine cellars for a quick inventory of your wine collection.

The most efficient and easiest software to use is the eSommelier wine cellar management system. It allows you to have 24-hour access to your wines and makes inventory and monitoring of wines much more convenient compared to maintaining a spreadsheet.

It also lets you find a glass of wine and the best time to drink it. It comes with a barcode scanner, a touch screen interface, and a barcode printer. Investing in this software will save a lot of time and effort.

With many options for wine cellar organization, it is still you who will decide on how you would like to categorize your wine collection. Just make sure that you will be able to serve the right wine to your guests in a timely manner.
