Wine Cellar in Fort Worth TX: Wine Cellar Or Wine Room?

In a perfect world, chocolate would have no calories, cable would be free and everyone would have a custom-built wine cellar.  Since we don’t live in a perfect world, we’ll have to settle for stopping after one Belgian chocolate, cable bill sticker shock and wine stored in one of those folding, countertop wine racks.  Or not.  Though you may not have a basement in which to build your wine cellar in Fort Worth TX, you might just have a little bit of extra space somewhere in your home - or even in your apartment - for a custom-built wine room.

Instead of finding space on your kitchen counter for a wine rack or space under the counter for a compact wine refrigerator, you can actually have a room in your home dedicated to storing your wine collection.  Of course, the ideal for any serious wine lover and collector is a cool, subterranean wine lair with stone walls, a humidor, glassware storage and a comfortable seating area.  But when your dream wine cellar in Fort Worth TX isn’t an option, a wine storage room is the next, best thing. 

Don’t let the word ‘room’ scare you.  You won’t have to move your firstborn into the attic to make space for your wine collection because you can store your wine in a space as small as a hall closet as long as you have the proper temperature and humidity controls.  Since size isn’t the most important thing, what is?  What’s most important to remember is that you and your wine room designer must choose the right location in your home.  Your wine room must be away from any direct sunlight, which is why many wine rooms end up under staircases or in hall closets. 

The right lighting is what makes these ‘upstairs’ wine storage areas such a great option now; there are so many ways to light your wine room that weren’t available before.  In the past, wine cellars were used because they were dark and cool.  Old-fashioned incandescent bulbs could be used for spot lighting when necessary but they produced too much heat to work well as full-time lighting in wine storage areas.  Today we have LED lighting and cool fluorescents that mean we can make our wine rooms bright and beautiful without harming the wine with the heat produced by incandescent bulbs.  

In fact, many people are turning their wine rooms into wine art by adding different-colored lighting, floor-to-ceiling glass doors and eye-catching rack systems.  When you work with the right designer, you can have almost anything you want in a wine room or wine cellar in Fort Worth TX.  At Vineyard Wine Cellars, we offer only the finest wine storage solutions and that means we can transform a cellar or a closet into the wine repository you’ve always dreamed of.  Call us at Vineyard Wine Cellars at (866) 615-4008 and visit us online at www.vineyardwinecellars.com to learn more about our process and to see a gallery of our completed projects.
