How to build your own wine room, step by step

Choices to make before building a wine room

Before commencing the process of building a wine room, several important factors must be considered: the purpose of the room, the available space, the appropriate cooling unit, the number of bottles, and storage conditions. At Vinteknikk, we share our expertise to help you create the perfect wine room.

1. Number of bottles

Begin by considering how many bottles you wish to store now and in the future. Whether you are a beginner with a few bottles or possess a larger collection, we tailor solutions to meet your needs.

2. Purpose of the wine room

Do you desire a functional space that maximizes capacity and storage conditions, or an elegant and aesthetic focal point in your home? Vinteknikk offers everything from minimalist rooms to advanced solutions with glass panels and exclusive details.

3. The right technical solution

We use only quality materials that ensure optimal storage:
You choose whether you prefer hinged or sliding doors; these can be combined with fixed glass panels on the side, in corners, or as transom lights. We offer corner posts in lacquered aluminum with concealed post fixings for seamless corner solutions. All types of glass are produced to your specifications, and the possibilities are endless.
It is crucial to construct a well-insulated room for consistent temperature and low energy consumption.
Cooling unit, adapted to your needs and the size of the room.
Customized lighting systems for perfect illumination without damaging the wine.
Interior fittings and handles from our broad and exclusive assortment.

4. Storage conditions

Correct temperature, humidity, and light are essential to preserve the wine’s quality:
Temperature: 10–18 °C, preferably stable around 12–13 °C.
Humidity: Optimally around 60% RH to preserve the cork.
Light conditions: Avoid direct UV rays, which can damage the wine over time.
Odour: Use materials that do not emit large amounts of gases. Avoid using walls, ceilings, and wine racks with strong paint products.

5. Placement

Find a location in your residence that is cool, dark, and has a stable temperature. A cellar or a dedicated room works best, but we also offer solutions that integrate seamlessly into kitchens, living rooms, or under stairs.
At Vinteknikk, we combine technical precision with aesthetic design, ensuring you receive a complete wine room that is both functional and beautiful. Contact us for a no-obligation consultation – we assist you every step of the way from concept to finished room.
