Wine Cellar Refrigeration Installation — Line Set & Condenser Custom ProjectIn the video we show you how we placed the line set (the tubes) that link the two parts of the split refrigeration system together below ground and replaced the patio stones so that they cannot be seen. The big advantage of this is that less room is taken up in the wine room itself and noise is generated by the mechanical aspect of the wine cooling system.

This system was installed by our partner, Arctic Metalworks who are a specialist Orange County based wine cellar refrigeration systems installation and maintenance company.

No it’s not a pirate ship! Black Pearl is one of the new stylish finishes for the Vintage View’s range of contemporary metal wine racks. Along with a Polished Chrome finish, these two exciting new styles are great for very modern looking wine racking and wine cellar designs.

These new styles are in addition to the already very popular Satin Black and Platinum finishes. Check out these cool designs, the Los Angeles Wine Cellar and the Orange County Commercial Wine Display as examples of what can be done with this style of wine racking. Contemporary wine cellar designs are steadily becoming more requested for modern homes and commercial restaurant displays.

Great for Commercial as well as Residential Wine Cellar Designs!

These new finishes are ideal for both residential and commercial applications and add an even more modern flare for private collectors and the hospitality industry.

With no long lead times, these racks can easily be ordered and on site within a matter of days, instead of what used to take 10-12 weeks. The Chrome finish, compared to our standard Platinum Series Brushed Nickel has that polished shine and glean that you’d expect in high quality Chrome while the Black Pearl offers a stunning metallic black.

The Vintage View Series of wine racks come in standard 3ft and 4ft. heights with single, double and triple deep storage formats. Whether you want to display as few as 9 bottles or merchandise and display 100′s of bottles in a fine wine store or restaurant check out the full line of Vintage View racks.

As well as being used for custom wine cellar design, these racks can be used as standalone racks intended to fit into small spaces such as small alcoves found in modern apartments.

Custom Wine Cellar Design and the optimal Storage of Red and White Wines

Written by Master Wine Cellar Builders on December 16, 2012 · Leave a Comment

When discussing wine storage temperatures, red wines are almost always the focus of attention. Climate controlled or refrigerated wine cellars whether custom built in a home or designed specifically for commercial settings are usually kept at 57 degrees.

The topic of ideal storage temperatures for white wines as well as Champagnes should also be considered.

If your wine collection typically consists around 50 bottles there are numerous mini cellars, usually described as wine refrigerators or wine cabinets. Many of these products offer dual zone temperature control. To create two temperature zones for the larger environment of a custom wine cellar is sometimes done but the process can be quite costly. A dual temperature zone wine cellar design needs to be carefully planned and usually only makes sense in the very largest of wine cellars.

Generally speaking most people tend to consume whites fairly quickly, as against storing them for a long period; however a serious wine collector will want to look after their collection of whites and rosé wines just as diligently.

Storing and Aging White Wines in a Wine Cellar – Helpful Tips

In most cases, red wines are served at a temperature cooler than room temperature and white wines are ideally served chilled. Should wines are served too warm they have a tendency to taste top-heavy. When wines are served too cold the natural flavor and bouquets can be hidden. To serve your wines just the right temperature, this table may be of help.

Ideally one would store white and sparkling wines at 45-50°F degrees, conveniently keeping them close to serving temperature of a recommended 48°F. However, as you will probably be storing red and white wine together in a wine cellar, a cool 55°F is a happy medium that will safely accommodate both types of wine for long term storage.

Another way to keep whites even cooler and closer to serving temperature is to store your whites near the bottom of your wine racks. As warmer air rises, it is a fact that the temperatures near the floor will be cooler than the temperature near the ceiling. Depending on circumstances of your wine cellar, you will typically see a 4-6F degree difference from top to bottom.

Library Style Rolling Ladders for Custom Wine Cellar Designs

Written by Master Wine Cellar Builders on November 25, 2012 · Leave a Comment

At Wine Cellars by Coastal our network of National Wine Cellar Builders, are often asked about the possibility of including one or more library style rolling ladders into our custom wine cellar designs

Wine Cellar Rolling Ladder Styles & Finishes

Commercial Custom Wine Cellars, Design in Library Style Rolling Ladders

Wine cellar rolling ladders are available in a wide variety of natural wood variations and with our aluminum ladders there is an extensive selection of very modern looking metallic finishes.

Typically ladders are included in a wine cellar when the wine racks reach a height that most of us cannot access. Almost always, anytime a wine cellar is over 8′, a rolling ladder is a great addition. At this height, at the very least, a step ladder would be needed to access the wine anyway.

Ladders include options for flush and extended handrails, wheel housings styles, finishes of matte, gloss or satin and upper assembly. The upper assembly means the ladder can be affixed to the track or the ladder could have a hook assembly so that it can be moved or stored manually. All the ladders include no scuff wheels and roll equally well on wood, tile, stone, or slate surfaces.

Some of our wine cellar designs include special recesses where the ladder can be stored when not in use. Wine cellar ladders are great for installations in both commercial and residential projects including:

Commercial Wine Cellars
Fine Wine Stores
Office and Retail Wine Displays
Restaurants & Wine Bars
Hospitality Wine Tasting Rooms & Hotels Generally

Residential Custom Wine Cellars, Design in Library Style Rolling Ladders

Check out these Newly Constructed Wine Cellars Created to Include Rolling Ladders

Rolling ladders are a great addition to a lot of wine cellars, especially where the room has wine racking that extends all the way to a high ceiling. Racking all the way to a ceiling and adding a ladder is a good way to gain additional capacity in a residential wine room design, whilst at the same time making the inventory easily accessible.

Rolling ladders are easy to install, relatively inexpensive and most importantly, can add a dramatic blend of style and function to your wine cellar.
