Wine Bar: a Trend in Residential Custom Wine Cellars

Custom Wine Cellar with a Wine Bar

In one of our projects northeast of Vancouver, we created a one-of-kind wine cellar design consisting of a wine bar. Whoever sees the wine display area will be inspired to choose their favorite vintage from the wine racks and relax in the cozy space.

The client and our team agreed that we would design the millwork, and he would have someone install the wine racks because of the location.

After the homeowners contacted us to seek help with their project, we created a design proposal consisting of three design layouts. In the first layout, the design was simpler, intended for housing 650 bottles without a wine cooling system. The racking consisted of open vault bins, individual slots, diamond bins, and an archway with a small countertop.

In the second design, the bottle capacity was only 400 bottles with additional cabinets. We retained the racking styles found in the first proposal. The only difference was the addition of the cigar humidor.

In the third and last drawing, the design consisted of racking that could accommodate 340 bottles, including built-in refrigerated wine cabinets, a cigar humidor, and an arch opening with a stemware rack. This was the design chosen by the homeowners.

The arch opening is the focal point of the wine cellar. The four-layer, eight-rack stemware is not only for storing wine glasses; it can also hold a few bottles and wine accouterments.

A New Home with a Traditional Basement Wine Cellar Design

The owners previously lived in a condominium and had a series of wine cabinets where they used to store their wine collection. Their collection was growing, so they thought they needed to invest in a dedicated wine cellar. When they purchased their new home, they decided to convert their basement into a wine storage space with traditional features.

Before starting the construction process, we made an on-site visit to check if the place would be a feasible location for building a climate-controlled wine room, and yes, it was. A detailed 3D basement home wine cellar design was submitted to the owner, making sure he understood how he could organize his collection consisting of various bottle sizes. We had to create a racking system for 1,200 bottles.

Designing wine racks requires creativity and keen attention to detail. At Custom Wine Cellars Vancouver, we always ensure we create the perfect wine storage system for your home. In this basement wine cellar design, the client had a niche-type area where we had to build a front wall to enclose a specific area in the basement. He chose a traditional basement wine cellar design. We installed wooden wine racks and wall paneling to meet the client’s requirements.

We combined four racking styles to maximize the storage capacity and add more functionality to the residential wine cellar. These include label view shelves, diamond bin loose bottle storage, individual bottle storage, and bulkhead to angle bottle display.

The focal point in this basement home wine cellar is the peninsula at the center of the wine room. We incorporated a cascading wine display for standard and large-format bottles. The staircase pattern added a wow factor to the residential wine cellar.

Vancouver Basement Wine Cellar Design and Construction

A wine enthusiast decided to create a basement wine cellar in their new home. His collection was growing, so he thought it was an excellent idea to invest in a climate-controlled wine room designed to store wines correctly and display them beautifully.

He sought the help of Blue Grouse Wine Cellars, one of the most reliable builders in Canada. With many years in the wine cellar construction industry, the team has proven their expertise and creativity in building eye-catching custom wine cellars.

Before creating a design proposal, they conducted an assessment to gather important information that would affect the overall functionality and appeal of the wine room. They conducted an on-site visit to check if the basement was a good location for a wine cellar build-out. They also measured the area to be utilized for the project and discussed all of the client’s requirements.

Designing the Vancouver Basement Wine Cellar

After a careful assessment of the owner’s needs, Blue Grouse Wine Cellars started creating 3-dimensional images. These drawings consist of the different wine room elevations, bottle capacities, room dimensions, racking styles, and door design.

The goal was to create a design that would fit 1,200 bottles. Since the client had bottles of various sizes, we tailored the wine storage system to accommodate standard and non-standard bottles. The Blue Grouse team had to build a wall in front to fully enclose the space. The wall panels are made of beeswax walnut wood, the same material used for the racking.

The owner wanted a traditional wine cellar design with wooden wine racks. Different bottle configurations were combined to create a unique wine display and maximize the storage capacity of the wine room. One of the features of this basement wine cellar is the lit bulkhead that lines the top of the wine racks.

Back Wall: the Focal Point of the Basement Wine Cellar

The back wall is the focal point of the Vancouver basement wine cellar. It consists of a peninsula wine rack intended to display the bottles in cascading manner and add character to the residential wine room. This section has bottle openings for storing large-format bottles horizontally. There is a wooden louvered grill cover at the top of it to conceal the evaporator of the wine cooling unit. The wine room looks more elegant without any visible equipment.

Blue Grouse Wine Cellars also incorporated individual wine racks and high-reveal display rows on both sides of the waterfall racking. The display rows pitch the bottles at an angle to keep the cork moist. Adding a lighting system above them highlights the bottles beautifully.

In this project, the goal was to install a wine storage system that could accommodate 1,200 wine bottles. With their creativity and expertise, Blue Grouse Wine Cellars used various racking systems to achieve the target capacity without compromising the aesthetic appeal of the wine room.

The wine racks occupy the three walls of this traditional wine cellar in Vancouver. The Blue Grouse team included diamond bin loose bottle storage at the bottom section of the walls. They also added a high reveal display row on each wall. These display rows are divided into sections intended to pitch the bottles at an angle to keep the corks moist. There is a bulkhead that was designed to store more bottles horizontally.

Most of the wine racks at the top section consist of bottle openings for storing the bottles individually with the cap facing out. There are label view shelves at the end of the racking on the right wall. They also included a rectangular bin on the right wall to provide a space for highlighting a few bottles.
