Basement Wine Storage
A basement is dark and stable, which is most of the job. Add insulated walling, a door and correctly sized cooling and it is a cellar; leave it and it is a damp room with bottles in it.
What this one is
One page inside the by room and position group — the steadiest room in the house for wine. What follows is how it meets the wall, how the rows are pitched, and what the drawing has to settle before anything is cut.
Where it goes
It is part of a walk-in room, where the cabinet becomes the walling.
It is built with integrated cooling rather than a separate chiller.
Bottle fit and cradle pitch
Capacity for this model runs 200 – 2,000 bottles. If your count sits outside that band, the band moves rather than the room: the module count and the cradle pitch are what change, not the finish or the frame.
What the drawing fixes
Everything on the drawing comes back to four numbers: capacity 200 – 2,000 bottles; lead time 45 – 60 days. Change one of them and it is a different cabinet, drawn again rather than stretched. Basement · Cooled · Walk-in are the mounting conditions this one is drawn for.

Before you order a basement wine storage
My basement is damp. Can it be a cellar?
Yes, with a tanked lining behind the insulated panel. Damp is a waterproofing problem, not a reason to give up the space.
Where does the condenser go?
Ground level or outside, via a ducted run. A split system means the noisy part is not in the room you are standing in.
Does a basement need humidity control?
Usually yes, because cooling dries the air as it condenses. We hold 55 – 75 % RH as part of the cooling specification.
Send the wall, not the wish list
Three photographs and the bottle count is enough for a scheme and a fixed price.
