A custom wine cellar lets you store your wine in the most suitable spot in your home. A popular example is placing a custom wine cellar under the stairs. That way, the otherwise unused space gets put to use with real style.
Why choose a custom wine cellar?
A custom wine cellar for the home is often the preserve of the wealthier wine lovers. That’s understandable: these cellars come at a cost that only makes sense to pay if you have plenty of bottles worth storing. A cellar like this lets you optimise the spaces in a home by choosing spots such as under the stairs, part of a back kitchen, part of an actual cellar, and many other rooms. It guarantees the temperature and humidity of the place where you store your wine. If you’re not lucky enough to have a natural wine cellar, you may have just found a solution.
These wine cellars were long the preserve of grand hotels and fine restaurants. But they’re appearing more and more in private homes, much to our delight. Whether as a wine service cellar or a wine aging cellar, these custom cellars have everything going for them!
Building a custom wine cellar
Designing and building a custom wine cellar takes expertise, time, and money. In short, it’s safe to say it’s not for everyone. That said, there are plenty of companies to help you design your wine cellar. So we’ve put together a short list of companies that can build the wine cellar of your dreams and fill your home with happiness. The two biggest names are, without a doubt, Degré 12 and Smith and Taylor. In France, there are other companies that can help you, such as Ma cave à vin, Tastvin, Provintech, and Cofravin and Cavilux.
While these wine cellars are absolutely stunning, they naturally come at a price. The price of a custom wine cellar depends on its size, its layout, and its features. You’ll easily need to budget several tens of thousands of euros.
