7 Factors to Build Wine Cellar Racks

by Isabel Blamey Professional writer
Who else does not love to drink wine, especially in Australian? But, for drinking wine, you need to store the bottles in a secured place. In this article, I am going to provide you with some basic factors, which you need to concern when you are building a wine cellar

We all need to spend happy hours with our friends and families and for this, we need a place. You can create the place by installing wine cellar at your house. When you drink with your friends and families by sitting in the wine room, you can feel heaven on the earth. Sometimes we make plan for a wine party but our house may not have the space required for this, in such a case, you can utilize the wine room as the entertainment place. Choose the old red wine and enjoy with your friend. But what would be your reaction if you find that the wine has become wasted?

For keeping the quality of the wine, you need to build wine cellar racks. For your wine collection, you can arrange the space by placing the cellar. But for this, you need a proper plan and skilled cellar designer who has the experience of designing cellar according to the latest trend. Whether you live in a large mansion or a small apartment, the designer has the skill to convert any space into the space that is suitable for the cellar. This way, you can convert an unused place to a personal wine room.

Factors to concern to plan the wine cellar:

1. Location of the cellar:

The most important thing is to choose the location for spiral cellars in Australia. Basement is the perfect place in this purpose. Apart from this, you can use the corner of your staircase and any other place whichever you want. But before this, you need to consult with your building contractor for the approval of building structure.

2. Ideal temperature:

When you store the wine in the cellar, it needs an ideal temperature. The ideal temperature is 55 degrees Fahrenheit. It is not needed that the temperature has to be fixed all the time. 3 to 4 degrees increase or decrease in the temperature is okay for the wine's maturity. But, above or below this, it is not suitable for wine's quality for a long time. If you cannot maintain this temperature your wine will mature faster or slower.

3. Proper insulation:

When it is the matter of proper insulation, you need to place 2 by 4 or 2 by 6 walls. If you want to control the environment and if you need proper insulation, you need a thicker wall. You can spray foam for a better insulation. This is essential when you want thicker insulation.

4. Controlling of humidity:

The ideal humidity level of vintage wine cellar racks is 57 percent. If the humidity level increases or decreases, then the cork will ruin, and it affects the wine. Therefore, you need to control the humidity. When you build the cellar, it is very much essential how you efficiently control the humidity.

5. Size of the cellar:

You can build this by taking a whole room, or you just take the corner of the room. The size of the cellar depends on the how spacious your room is. If you have a collection of 200-300 bottles, you can go for a small or medium size cellar, and if you have a collection of more than 2000 bottles, you need a cellar room.

6. Installation of cooling unit:

If you want a humidity controller you can install the cooling unit. If you want to remove the excess moisture, you need to add a cooling unit. You can keep cool the place by using different products and methods, but this is the best way to close the place. You can do this by purchasing the cooling unit and install it in the cellar. You can simply install this by framing walls. This can control the humidity and temperature level.

7. Lighting for the cellar:

To give a better look of the cellar, you need to install the lights. But it is just for increasing the style of the cellar. As high power bulbs are not allowed in the cellar, I am suggesting you light up your cellar with LED.

Bottom Line:
As you can see, there are a lot of factors that you need to concern when you build a wine cellar. You can make bigger or smaller cellar and this depends on your collection and on your space.
