If you're same as most people, wine would be an essential part of your life. You might buy wines by the case or even the pallet load. Come to the question: how to store these wines?

One of the easier ways to step up our home bar game is to build a wine cellar. 

First of all, we need to know 

A basement wine cellar offers an additional layer of protection from light and fluctuating temperatures that can damage your wine collection. It also adds that extra layer of luxury to your set-up, which is probably why most people would instead hire it done or do it yourselves. 

Due to a natural constant temperature and humidity, natural cellars could ensure stable wine displaying conditions. 

However, for general residences, the basement is not deep enough. The interference from surrounding heat sources could not compare with the natural wine cellars, the equipment used for manual intervention.

In fact, with the development of high technology, the establishment of the constant environment control system, achievement in the storage target of wine, you can design and build wine cellars anywhere! The interior decoration style of the wine cellar varies from person to person. Besides the stunning looking, it is also necessary to consider the access and management conveniently. European private wine cellars are relatively well-equipped with management software to record the information of stored wine. Each bottle of wine is scanned before entering, which is convenient for computer search at any time.

 Come with me to make a plan on building your wine cellars. See the steps are as follows:

① the cellar location selection: Keep away from a heat source, could use underground space to save energy.

② Other details on the cellar building:

• Wall structure:

Review your location on the floor plan and locate the cellar door to ensure that your design process matches your existing space.

• Electrical appliances:

• Vapor barrier:

The application of proper steam compartments is crucial in maintaining cellar conditions, preventing the condensation of moist air from the outer walls.

•  The seal

!. Using an insulated setting can effectively insulate the cellars from the Inferential external factors and help create an excellent, moist environment for the wines.

!!. It will prevent the basement from overheating due to passive external factors.

!!!. And it will help to save energy, ultimately providing an active cooling system for the whole wine cellar.

• Finished wall materials

A. The walls of the wine cellar shall be coated with durable and moisture-proof materials. What do you do with it?

Insulation measurements: Walls and roofs must be insulated. (This is the more professional part of cellar building.) The wall needs to be measured and calculated to get a more accurate number to meet the storage requirements of each space.

The wall thickness of the same wine cellar in the sun and basement must be different. The extruded plate, polystyrene board, are the most common heat preservation material.

B. Lighting part:

It is best to choose a cold light source for illumination. Incandescent bulbs produce heat. Fluorescent lamps have a lot of invisible ultraviolet light, which damages the structure of the wine so much that they can’t use as a light source for the wine cellar.

Customized wine rack: According to the amount of wine stored, bottle size, can choose different materials, customized-made wine rack could meet the expected style and budget plan. The wine racks could make of a variety of materials, for an instant: wood, steel, or brick, and the size and style suggested is consistent with the overall tone of the cellar.

The most common style is a wooden wine rack. The simplest way is that IKEA has some shelves that can convert into a wine rack for use.

The priority should be considered the strength of the material and the security. Would you please not do blind DIY? If the storage is improper, you will find those precious wine has become moldy after a while. On that basis, Gains cannot make up for losses.

Cellar air conditioning and fresh air system: It recommends selecting imported equipment from Europe and America or domestic air conditioning products with low energy consumption and high configuration.
