Experience the Benefits of Investing in a Refrigerated Custom Home Wine Cellar

Spoiled wines are common in wine storage rooms where there is no cooling unit installed. An unstable environment will damage your wines. A refrigerated wine cellar is what you need to protect your wines from external factors such as heat, UV light, vibration, and odor. Find out how a climate-controlled wine cellar built by a professional can provide a safe place for your collection by preventing the occurrence of wine storage issues.  

Why You Should Invest in a Refrigerated Wine Cellar Built by an Expert in Los Angeles   

Wine needs a storage place built by someone who has the necessary skills and knowledge in wine room construction. There are specific requirements to ensure that your refrigerated wine cellar performs its primary function, which is to keep wines in their best conditions before they are ready for consumption.   

If you started collecting wines for long-term storage, we recommend that you consult with an expert who understands the crucial role of a climate-controlled environment. Keep in mind that storing wines in a kitchen refrigerator, cabinet, or cardboard boxes will have adverse effects on the quality of your favorite vintages. 

The best way to keep your wines at their best condition is to store them in a refrigerated wine cellar. At Custom Wine Cellars Los Angeles, we offer innovative wine cellar designs and efficient wine cooling solutions for serious wine collectors.

Whether you are a homeowner or an entrepreneur who wants an impressive and safe wine storage area, Custom Wine cellars Los Angeles will help you! The proper preparation of big and small wine storage rooms, as well as the correct choice of wine cooling system, is of utmost importance to us.     

Understanding the Benefits of Storing Wines in a Climate-Controlled Environment 

Wine will preserve its desirable characteristics if kept in a place where the temperature ranges from 55 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit and the humidity level falls between 60 and 70 percent. When you invest in a well-built refrigerated wine cellar, you will not worry about having spoiled wines in your collection.   

Too much heat and light exposure will deteriorate your wines quickly. High temperatures will push the cork upwards and allow an unwanted amount of air to come in contact with the wine.  When oxidation happens, the wine will have off-flavors and aromas.  

Moreover, too much heat will also cause acceleration in the wine’s aging process, which results in altered chemical composition. Premature aging will not only decrease the life span of the wine, but it will also cause unpleasant flavors. 

Another factor that will be regulated in a refrigerated wine cellar is the humidity level. A low amount of humidity will cause the cork to dry out and become brittle. When this happens, it will shrink and cause wine oxidation. 

On the other hand, when there is too much humidity inside the room where you store your wine collection, condensation will form in the ceiling and walls, and even on the wine racks, wine labels, and cork, which can trigger mold growth. 

You do not want mold and mildew to contaminate your wines or damage the structural integrity of your wine room. If you want to prevent wine storage issues, you must work with a reliable company like Custom Wine Cellars Los Angeles.

Wine Storage Room Preparation: An Important Step in Creating an Airtight Seal Before the Construction of Your Refrigerated Wine Cellar 

Creating an airtight seal is a critical process in building a refrigerated wine cellar. To achieve this, we always make sure that there is enough insulation in the walls and ceiling and an efficient vapor barrier.  

Sealing the room will help stabilize the conditions inside your custom home wine cellar. It must be completed before the installation of your wine cellar cooling unit.  

Determining and Installing the Ideal Wine Cooling System for Refrigerated Wine Storage Rooms

Your refrigerated wine cellar must be equipped with the right wine cooling unit to help create the perfect environment necessary for the graceful aging of your wines. A regular air conditioning system is not designed to achieve the optimum wine storage conditions.   

After the insulation and vapor barrier are installed, we will determine the size of the cooling system that suits your space. We will perform a heat load calculation, taking into account the amount of glass, amount of insulation, and size of your wine room. Keep in mind that this step plays a vital role in ensuring that the climate control system installed in your custom home wine cellar has the right capacity.  

We have been using wine cellar refrigeration units from trusted manufacturers like WhisperKOOL, Wine Guardian, US Cellar Systems, and CellarPro. We offer different types of refrigeration systems, including self-contained, ductless, and ducted units.  

In addition to the size and location of your wine room, we will consider the availability of an exhaust room and your budget when choosing the type of wine cellar refrigeration system for your project.
