New Modern Wine Wall Design for a Small Wine Closet: Challenges and Unique Features
Coastal Custom Wine Cellars has extensive experience converting spaces into striking wine cellars with modern wine wall design. They create designs with form and function in mind to help wine collectors be proud of their wine display. They offer innovative wine storage solutions, which include metal wine racks from VintageView.
The team was contacted by the owners of a beautiful home in Phoenix to renovate an infested small wine cellar. The old wine closet was infested by mold. When the Coastal team arrived on site, the earthy and musty smell greeted them, and the green spores were apparent on the surface of the bottles. The mold ruined the materials, affecting the structural integrity of the wine cellar.
After a thorough assessment of the space and the client’s needs, they thought it would be best to create a modern wine wall display that would add a luxurious touch to the home. The wine cellar is located next to the
They found out there were cracks in the glass wall located at the back of the house, which allowed heat to enter. Another issue was the size of the wine cooling system was too large for the compact size of the wine room.
Sealing the cracks with epoxy and wiping the molds out were not an effective solution to the problem. Coastal Custom Wine Cellars, led by Steve Pantalemon, demolished the entire wine closet, installed better insulation, the ideal wine refrigeration system, and the door. They also made sure there were no cracks in the flooring and the areas around the wine cooling unit to be waterproofed.
Mold problems in wine cellars can be prevented by creating an airtight seal inside the wine room. Therefore, it is best to work with a reliable and knowledgeable builder like Coastal Custom Wine Cellars.
The amount of insulation will depend on the size of the wine room – the bigger the space, the higher the amount of insulation should be. Moreover, the amount of glass used for the wine cellar is another factor in determining the amount of insulation needed to maintain stable wine storage conditions in refrigerated wine cellars.
Custom Racking Features: Modern Wine Wall Design with Wooden Components for a Renovation Project
When you decide on a renovation project, you can add custom features that will make your wine cellar more functional and visually appealing. In this project, the Coastal team did a complete makeover of the old wine closet using an innovative wine storage solution.
Modern Wine Wall Racking Designed to Grab Attention
Revamping the space involved creating a modern wine wall design consisting of triple deep racking installed in the top half of the wall. The wall mounted wine racks are perfect for the small wine cellar because they do not occupy floor space.
The bottles are stored with the labels facing out, allowing easy perusal of the wines. Flipping the bottle to see the wine description will not be necessary, preventing the disturbance of the sediments that have settled on one side of the bottle. When the sediments are disturbed, the texture and flavor of the wine will be altered.
Wooden Wine Racks
Below the metal wine racks is a wooden racking with a marble countertop for decanting and serving wine. The homeowners placed a small wine barrel dispenser in the middle of the countertop. The Coastal team added a drawer below the countertop, intended for storing a few wine accessories, and some solid diamond bins for bulk storage.
Sophisticated and Insulated Glass Wine Cellar Door
In addition to insulating the walls and ceiling to prevent air leakage, the wine cellar door must also be insulated to help achieve the ideal wine storage environment needed by wine to preserve its desirable characteristics.
The glass front consists of three doors to provide easy access to the wine bottles stored in the modern wine wall display and wooden wine racks. The Coastal team used thermally insulated glass to prevent condensation formation.
When the humidity goes too high (above 70%), moisture will build up and trigger mold growth on the corks, wine labels, wooden wine racks, walls, and ceiling. On the other hand, when the humidity gets too low, the corks will become brittle and reduce in size. It will allow an unwanted amount of oxygen to seep in through the bottle and mix with the wine, resulting in wine oxidation.
An oxidized wine has some nutty flavor and a sharp vinegar odor. It usually tastes like flat soda because the chemical components were altered. It is best to hire a builder who knows the primary role of correct insulation in proper wine storage to ensure no wine storage issues will happen in the future.
