Most modern homes now feature custom residential wine rooms, which allow collectors to display their liquid assets in a chic way.   A private wine cellar not only increases the curb appeal of a home but also adds aesthetic value to its living space.  Residential wine rooms in Newport Coast Beach California are carefully designed and constructed, in order to create an environment conducive to aging wines and entertaining friends.

Wine Cellar Design by Wine Cellar Spec Master Wine Cellar Builders

A recently completed project in Newport Coast Beach, California, is a perfect example of a custom wine room that combines functionality and elegance.  This climate-controlled wine cellar has a total storage capacity of 1692 wine bottles and features Mahogany wine storage racks and reclaimed wine barrel flooring.  The brick veneer walls and ceiling serve as the room’s main attraction and are visible through the seamless glass walls and entryway.

Aire Split System for Residential Wine Rooms

Most custom residential wine rooms are actively cooled, which means they require refrigeration systems to help maintain the ideal storage environment for storing and aging wines.  For this particular residential wine room Newport Coast Beach California project, an Arctic Aire Split System was supplied and installed by Arctic Metalworks.

Due to its ‘split’ feature, a split system offers various installation options that provide noiseless operation.  The evaporator unit is installed inside the wine room, while the condenser is placed in a remote location.  A purpose-built louvered grill cover fits over the front of the evaporator unit to conceal it from view.  The louvered panel cover is made of Mahogany wood to match the rest of the wine cellar furniture.

Residential wine rooms are not complete without custom wine storage racks.  Racking systems are available in different styles and capacities that can accommodate the storage and display needs of the client.  All storage systems for this residential wine room are constructed from Mahogany wood with a rustic stain and lacquer finish.

Wine Storage Racks

A fair amount of single-bottle wine racking occupies the wine cellar.  Each bottle opening for this racking system measures 3 ¾ inch x 3 ¾ inch, which can fit most standard-sized wine bottles.  A high-reveal display row with LED-based lighting allows the client to showcase his favorite wine labels.  To heighten the visual appeal of the storage space, label forward racks were located near the glass walls.  Label-forward wine storage racks facilitate the horizontal placement of the bottles with their labels in full view.

Brick Veneer Wall for Residential Wine Rooms

Herringbone masonry design serves as a beautiful backdrop for the tabletop counter, which is situated directly from across the entrance.  The walls and entryway are made from Herculite glass, which provides a clear and unobstructed view into the wine cellar.

To allow for the optimal visibility of the stunning brick veneer wall surface, half-diamond bins were installed above and below the tabletop area.  These diamond bin components have large openings that face the back, brick veneer-lined wall.  Racks with rectangular openings are also provided for magnums.

To complement the natural beauty of the Mahogany-made wine cellar furniture, reclaimed oak barrel staves from Napa Valley were used as the floor covering.  Staves are the side part of the wine barrel, and feature distinct markings from metal hoop rings, now removed, that once kept the narrow strips of wood intact.

For residential wine cellars, the design and functionality will largely depend on the available space, preferences, and budget of the homeowner. Also, it is unlikely that the wine collector will often change the layout as there are other things to consider like household budget and space.

For wine cellars in commercial establishments like hotels, restaurants, wine stores, and the like, the design and functionality will depend not only on the owner’s budget and preference but also on what may appeal to the customers. As customers may come and go inside the cellar, there should be space for people to move to have a look around.

California commercial wine cellars must be stylish to appeal to the customers so they can keep going back for repeat business. They should also be functional so as not to sacrifice business operations. Stylish commercial wine cellars will likely be classic in design, something that looks great over time. It’s not often that commercial establishments can renovate their interiors.

How to Have a Stylish California Commercial Wine Cellar

Hotels, restaurants, and wine stores must know from the start the design and theme of their interiors so that the wine racks, cooling systems, and other wine accessories can complement the overall look. This will also contribute a lot to achieving a stylish look that will attract the right clientele.

The use of tempered and specialty glass and metal or wooden wine racks, for example, will add to the stylish look as these materials are flexible enough to be used in varied ways that will complement the theme of the establishment.

Door systems for security purposes must be incorporated into the overall look without sacrificing aesthetics, but at the same time do their purpose of securing the precious wine bottles.

State-of-the-art wine cellar refrigeration systems will help achieve the stylish look one is aiming for. No wires or pipes should be seen peeking from ceilings or walls, nor should the refrigeration unit be seen. It must be concealed in creative ways to achieve a seamless look.

The commercial wine cellar must be able to function well so as not to cripple or slow down business operations. The wine cellars must be easy to reach and wine bottles easy to retrieve. Owners of the establishment must consider not only the ease of retrieval of the wine bottles but also the ease of monitoring the wine bottles for inventory.

There should also be a security system for the wines and an alarm system for the cooling units to let the owners know if maintenance is needed. The cooling system must be able to maintain desired temperatures and humidity levels.

The wine cellars must also be roomy for people traffic. If clients will be allowed inside the wine cellar itself, plush and comfortable couches must be placed in strategic areas to attract more business.

To maintain all these aspects, hotel, restaurant, and wine store owners must avail of the services of a reputable California custom wine cellar manufacturer that offers innovative design ideas for a stylish look and functionality. It is important to maintain the overall look that will attract the right clientele for the business to prosper.

So much work goes into the design, creation, and maintenance of a wine cellar. Plenty of factors come into play when you own a fully functioning wine cellar. There’s, of course, the need to control the wine storage temperature and humidity levels so that the aging process of the wine is not disrupted.

The proper design of your wine racks must also be considered to have not only a functional and space-efficient wine storage area, but one that is stylish as well so that your California custom wine cellar is something you could show of to your guests.

There are also small details that make a world of difference when it comes to the design and feel of your wine cellar. Little things like aesthetic accents, mood lighting, and the wine accessories that you incorporate into your wine cellar should all be geared toward accomplishing a certain atmosphere in this special space.

All these factors and aspects in ensuring that you have an effective wine cellar are worth it, especially when it’s time to pop a bottle and have a little wine tasting. All that effort pays off as you gather around with your family or friends and sample the exquisite vintages you have been lovingly collecting and storing. This is where having the perfect wine-tasting table comes in.

Why a Wine Tasting Table is Essential in Custom Wine Cellars

Wine Tables – Perfect Accent Piece for Wine Cellars

A wine table allows you to have a functional space for your wine-tasting activities. Plus, it can be the perfect accent piece for your wine cellar. It can also work as extra storage space where several more bottles can be kept.

There are varieties of wine cellar tasting table styles to choose from. Some of the more popular ones include old oak wine barrels that have been refurbished to become tasting tables as well as storage space.

A long, wooden table made of redwood provides an intimate set-up where guests can gather for a night of wine tasting. There are also tall wooden tables that can be paired with bar stools. If you lack space, half-moon style tables made of beautiful walnut wood may be your best choice. But for those who want a temporary wine table set-up, there are tables that can be folded for easy storage that don’t scrimp on design with their ornate wood carvings.

There are many other options out there, and you have the choice of purchasing a ready-built table or having a custom-made wine table. The key is to understand your purpose and budget and match it with the best possible table design, style, function, and size.
