Choosing a Room for Your Wine Cellar
Have you always wanted a custom wine cellar in your home, but are not sure where to put it?
Is space a concern? The good news is that with advances in cooling technology, a wine cellar can be built into nearly any available space. Maybe you have a basement or empty bedroom that can be converted into a large cellar or perhaps you have a considerably smaller available space such as a closet or nook. Any of these may be a viable option for building a wine cellar that will suit your collection. Today we are outlining important factors to consider when selecting your cellar’s location.
Location Options to Consider:

Basements
This may be the best place for a wine cellar. Basements receive little to no direct sunlight and have naturally low temperatures and ideal humidity. Wine cellars are meant to replicate wine caves and basements typically create a similar environment. Basements also tend to be large and provide ample space for your growing wine collection.
Empty Bedroom:
Do you have a room you are not utilizing such as a guest room or office? An empty bedroom may also be a great option for a wine cellar location. Bedrooms provide a large empty space ideal for the additional construction required for a wine cellar. It is important to remember to choose a bedroom on the side of your house that receives the least amount of sunlight.
