Wine Cellar Racks – Laguna Beach California Home Wine Room Project
Contents
Installing a residential wine room that is both functional and elegant not only adds curb appeal to a home but also provides convenience to the passionate oenophile. Having a private wine cellar allows wine collectors to enjoy their liquid collectibles at any time.
Laguna Beach California
They never have to go far to drink a glass or two of their favorite wine. The addition of a custom wine cellar California can greatly enhance the aesthetic aspect of a home, and even increase its value.
Take a look at this custom wine cellar California project in Laguna Beach by Coastal Custom Wine Cellars, a master wine cellar builder in California and several other states.
Wine Storage Racks – An Essential Component of a Home Wine Room
One of the most important components of a wine room is the wine storage racks.
The right combination of wine-racking systems will help maximize the bottle storage capacity of a wine room. This will also provide an efficient wine storage and display solution that will facilitate proper wine aging, correct bottle placement, and ease of product recognition.
Wine Storage Racks
The Laguna Beach home wine room project, completed last spring, showcases a range of wine storage and display racks, which helped achieve a total storage capacity of 837 wine bottles.
Coastal Custom Wine Cellar installers and Designers also provided custom wine racking solutions for the client’s collection of large format bottles and wood cases. All of the racks were made out of unfinished premium redwood.
The client chose premium redwood because it is one of the most sought-after wood species in wine rack construction. It is known for its longevity, natural earth tones, and workability. The wood’s natural beauty makes staining and finishing unnecessary, although wood stains can still be applied if desired.
Quarter Round Display and Single Bottle Wine Storage Racks
The left side wall of custom wine cellar California features quarter-round displays, single-bottle wine cellar racks with display rows, and wood case storage.
Solid quarter-round display shelving is not only an excellent place to display large format bottles (e.g. magnums, double magnums), but also various wine accouterments, such as decanters. The display shelf also makes for a beautiful end piece to a wine-racking system.
The 750 ml bottle openings of single bottle wine cellar racks measure 3 ¾” x 3 ¾,” so they can hold just about any size bottle, including standard champagne, Oregon Pinots, and California Blue Chips. In addition, the individual bottle slots have hand-sanded edges, to protect wine labels from scratching or tearing.
In between the single bottle storage racks is a high-reveal display row. Display racks with high reveal feature pitch bottles to a 15-degree angle that offers full visibility of wine labels, as well as allows continuous contact of the cork with the wine. Maintaining moisture in corks is crucial to cellaring wines, as it helps ensure the sealing quality of said corks.
The display row features LED lighting that illuminates some of the finest wine labels. Displays with high reveal are great tools for managing a large collection, since wines can be stored above and below the display area.
High Reveal Display Row with LED Lighting
This design promotes ease of selection and retrieval of wine bottles.
At the very bottom, wine cellar installers added custom-designed openings, wherein the client can store the wood cases that he loves to collect and display.
Towards the back wall of the Laguna Beach home wine room are more of the single-bottle wine cellar racks, with high-reveal display rows. Despite the oddly shaped corners and turns, wine cellar installers managed to maintain a smooth and flowing appearance by installing custom wine racks, which followed the contours of the wall.
As one comes to the right interior wall, it consists more of the same thing: individual bottle openings and a display row with high reveal design.
In this particular wall, the installers provided horizontal label forward display openings below the high-reveal display row. The openings can easily store several bottles, depending on the type of wine bottle.
High Reveal Display Row and Diamond Bins
Right below the label forward displays are open diamond bin components, for bulk storage. Diamond bins can hold a large number of different-sized wine bottles. This type of storage solution is ideal for wine collectors who purchase their wines in 6 packs or 12 lots.
The right side wall of this custom wine cellar California also features a standard arch with a tabletop, that serves as a serving and decanting area for wines. The whittle board design on the arch offers a stylish and elegant look to the Laguna Beach home wine room.
Puck lighting is provided to illuminate the tabletop area. Above the arch is an opening for large-format bottle storage, and below it are additional slots for individual bottle storage.
Installing a Wine Cellar Cooling System for Temperature and Humidity Control
CellarPro Wine Cellar Cooling System – Exhausting Warm Air to the Garage
For temperature and humidity control, the installers supplied a CellarPro self-contained wine cellar cooling system. CellarPro is known for its quality and efficient wine cellar cooling equipment and has been a trusted partner of Coastal Custom Wine Cellar Installers for years.
CellarPro’s self-contained wine cellar cooling system does not require installation by a professional HVAC technician. An opening was created on the right side wall to accommodate the cooling equipment.
For this particular home wine room, the wine cellar cooling system exhausts warm air to the adjacent garage area.
Completing the Look of the Wine Cellar with a Lighting System and Wine Cellar Door

The lighting system was provided by the client, along with the flooring material and interior paint. The lighting fixture used is a directional, low-profile track lighting that can be adjusted to feature various areas of the wine storage space.
The beauty of the wine cellar space can be viewed from the outside, through a 30” x 80” Barolo-style dual pane glass door. The entry door features dual pane insulated glass, weather stripping, and automatic door sweeps, to ensure a nice, tight seal on the Laguna Beach residential wine room.
