Behind every wine is a wine cellar that influences the personality of each bottle it produces.
A great wine cellar is all about creating a controlled environment. Whether it is located in a sprawling mansion or in a tiny apartment, design options are virtually limitless.
Here are some of the climate control actions you need to take when building a wine cellar:
• Full room insulation to keep temperatures at a steady range. Make sure the insulation is also a good vapor barrier.
• For large wine cellars, a wine cooling system may be necessary. This will also require an adequately sized exhaust room to absorb expelled heat.
• If the location of the wine cellar tends to get too dry, a humidifier will be required.
