Continuing with our Wine Enthusiast Wine Cellar Design Series, in which we feature real photos of our custom cellars, we travel to a transformed basement in Newton Square, PA.

Our customer, Neal, took advantage of our Designer Series Kits, giving his cellar a personal touch with the efficiency of kit racking.

Neal had this to say about his new cellar:

“My basement has changed since installing the wine cellar.  It has gone from a place of storage to an oasis of tranquility you enter to get away from the crap stored in a basement.  The terra cotta colors matching the tiles of the floor give a clean yet rustic look.  the racking makes it fun to work on filling it with frequent runs to the wine store or vineyards.  Organizing it is a joy also,  with its various compartments for cases or single slots for more individual bottle purchases.”

If you are interested in building a cellar like this or of a different style, simply call us at 800.377.3330 and one of our wine storage consultants will be happy to help!

Spring is here and for many people that means, Spring cleaning. If your floors are cluttered with homeless wine bottles, it may be time to invest in some organization. If you’re not ready to purchase a temperature-controlled unit or if you buy wine for quick consumption, a wine rack will suit your needs perfectly.

There are 3 factors when selecting a wine rack, these are: Price, Material, and Bottle Count.

1) Price is the easiest place to start, since that may determine the other 2 factors. Set a realistic budget for yourself. We offer basic racks for as low as $16 and designer, furniture- style racks as high as $900. It’s up to you how much you’d like to spend.

2) Next, select your preferred material. Most likely you’ll want it to match the design of your home but you are free to get creative. Select wood (pine, mahogany, or natural), wrought iron, stainless steel or go-green with storage containers made of recycled materials.

3) Finally, select a bottle count that will allow your collection to grow. People often underestimate how quickly they acquire new bottles. You want to have plenty of free slots for new purchases. Provide racking for at least double the bottle count of your current collection. If you have a case of wine at home, select a wine rack to hold at least 24 bottles, for example.

It’s that simple!
