Texas Home Wine Cellar Storage

The Texas Home Wine Cellar Project

Written by ironwine

The Texas home wine cellar project is one of the most memorable jobs we ever had the pleasure to work on. With a tight budget and specifications like strict climate control for the room, it was imperative for us to carefully select the materials and products we had to use for this purpose. We document it in full below.

A project of this scale means that we have no room for errors. That is why we carefully studied several factors that may affect how we would install the wine rack kits, one for instance being the installed wall lighting in the room.

To begin, we installed modular wine racks from our selection of wine rack kits, while also adding custom design flourishes the client requested from us. We also added solid x bins underneath the wine rack arch and several case storage shelves that should add the right kind of style the kits need.

Prior to installing the wine rack kits, the client requested to have it all fashioned in mahogany. To make it stand out even more, we added a “wheat” stain on the surface, and topped it off with a lacquer finish. The wine rack kits did stand out, but it did so in an elegant-looking way.

WhisperKool’s Wine Cellar Cooling System

We have a lot of wine cellar cooling systems in our inventory. However, with the modest room space for the cellar, we had to make sure the unit we choose for it should be easily installed through the wall.

We eventually found one in WhisperKool SC 4000. Many previous clients of ours attested to its longevity, and its classy housing design fits the aesthetic we were aiming to fashion the wine cellar into. In addition, the unit’s 30°F temperature differential ensures that it won’t ever suffer from overheating issues.

An Entertaining Wine Tasting Experience

With 900 bottles for the client to store in the wine cellar, the space we were fashioning should double as a place where people want to enjoy spending time in. So, we modified the cellar’s ceiling with reclaimed wood to give it a more rustic look. In addition, the decision to install bare bricks in the arched entrance provided a more inviting ambiance to anyone who enters the wine cellar.

All in all, the finished Texas wine cellar project is one that the client—and by extension, us—can be proud of.  For more of these stellar wine rack kits, please visit our Minnesota partner, Closets for Life.
