Take a look at some of the completed wine racking projects to help give you some inspiration for finding the perfect wine storage room/cellar for you! Whether it's an entire wall of single bottle storage or a section of case racks or cellar cubes, we can fit your needs for any space available.
If you're wondering what can be done with that space where you wish to store wine, why not contact us to discuss the possibilities. We are pleased to offer our thoughts, experience and recommendations and fully realise that every situation is different and unique, with various requirements to consider.
Wine Racking Options
Individual Bottle Racks
These bespoke oak wine racks are manufactured in 'ladders' where each bottle rests on two horizontal slats on either side of the upright. This storage system enables bottles to be withdrawn from the rack without the fear of damaging labels, as there are very few solid horizontal lines. The few solid horizontal pieces that do exist are necessary because the weight of the oak racks and the wine to be cellared within means that the modular units aren't built too large. We usually restrict these to heights and widths of around 6 to 10 bottles.
We attempt to design the rack sections so that everything is aesthetically equal and pleasing to the eye. The units are then fitted together horizontally and vertically in the room to give a fantastic effect. The horizontal lines all match the cellar to provide an excellent visual aspect.
Each bottle rack section is made to a depth of 298mm, where the entire bottle is enclosed within the rack; this can be increased. If this is required, a depth of 598mm enables two bottles to be stored in each opening, with one in front of the other. We can also provide individual bottle racking to accommodate non-standard-sized bottles such as half bottles, magnums, and champagnes. The utmost care is taken to ensure that all rack heights match other design units.
As shown in the image, all the individual bottle wine racks have chamfered, angled front edges, enabling more accessible access to the bottles. This reduces the slight risk of possibly damaging either the bottle label or your hand when extracting a bottle from the rack.
This design flexibility ensures that the only restrictions to this wine storage solution are the space available. See the individual bottle rack dimensions.
Wine Cellar Cubes
Solid oak cellar storage cubes are a novel and visually appealing way of storing bulk quantities of the exact wine once unpacked from their cases. Different sized cubes are available; the 503mm x 503mm is capable of holding up to two full cases of wine, 24 bottles in total (6 in each section) and the 598mm x 598mm can hold up to 40 bottles in total (10 in each section). The diagonal cross pieces of the cube are mitred into each corner for added strength and visual appeal, and with or without the optional backing, a clean, quality wine storage solution is the result.
Wine Case Racks
Wooden cases of Bordeaux with the stencilled names and logos of the Chateaux featured on the case ends, all stacked on top of each other, look great, but the ones that are ready for drinking are always the first ones, purchased, on the bottom of the stack! The answer to this age-old problem is our wine case racking. This system allows each 12-bottle case to be stored on its own slide-out, easy-glide oak shelf within a solid oak cabinet surround.
Each shelf has a built-in stop so that the drawer and case can only be withdrawn for around two-thirds of its length, thus enabling the entire case to be lifted safely. This system allows for the opened case storage of your drinking wines or those kept unopened for future investment. Most Bordeaux-style boxes are stored with the case ends showing and require a double-depth sized space; however, we can also accommodate Burgundy cases in a single-depth variation as these are stamped on their sides. Both options are visually stunning, but now actually practical as well!
Plinths and Tops
The finishing touches to your cellar are the oak plinths below the individual bottle, storage cubes and case racks, which prevent the lower bottles from being knocked accidentally. The oak tops all the rack components streamline the finished height of the racks and give an overall complete effect.
Plinths are conveniently made at the height of 120mm, but if space is at a premium, we can accommodate a height of 94mm. The oak tops are generally 18mm in height, giving you a nice, strong finish to your Oak wine racking. To heighten the visual effect, both the tops and plinths (space permitting) are manufactured with an overhang of 20mm, and we can adjust the heights of either to ensure a perfect fit.
LED Lighting
To give your bespoke wine racking the finishing touch, why not add some LED lights to give it the 'wow' factor! We can provide a groove along the underside of the countertop or the overall top to add your very own strips of LED lights. This can also be supplied above the display racking section within the wine racking. If you have other suggestions of where you may like to have LED lighting, we can offer our advice on what is possible or look good based on previous experience.
