Let how you feel about your
wine dictate how you display it. If you consider a wine bottle
a work of art, then get racking that will allow you to see choice
labels fully. Our display kits are great for displaying your
most prized bottles.
If you have lots of bottles
but not a lot of variation, get "plainer" storage
such as bulk bins and cubes.
For more information about selecting the right
racking for you, visit the Wine
Cellar Design Form.
What wood type is best for me?
Most of our large product line is available in Ponderosa
Pine and Premium Redwood. What's the difference?

Redwood - Redwood
is favorite among collectors, designers and decorators for
its stunning natural beauty and versatility.
Redwood contains chemicals that make it
naturally resistant to moisture and mildew, making it a
perfect racking material in dark, moist environments.
Redwood imparts a rich, bold feeling. Finish
as you see fit or leave untreated and admire naturally.

Pine - This sturdy, affordable
wine cellar material is beautiful as is or stained to match
other types of wood. Stain to match mahogany, cherry, or
add a polyeurathane clearcoat to bring out the natural beauty.
Pine lends a rustic, warm feeling to any
room or cellar.

Cooling
Most cooling units have about a 30 degree threshold that they can
maintain between the wine cellar and the room that the exhaust vents
into. This means that if you want your wine cellar to be remain
55 degrees, then the room that you are venting into cannot get warmer
than 85 degrees. If it does, your cooling unit may get overworked
and quit prematurely. Therefore you should never vent into a closet,
crawlspace, attic, or other space inadequate for heat dissipation.
