What are some of the essential components of a custom wine cellar system design?
Q: How essential is climate control in the proper storage of wine? A: Climate control represents the most important component in wine cellar construction. It is the most important factor in cellaring wine because keeping a constant temperature level within your storage area prevents damaging the wine by temperature fluctuation. Q: Why is humidity a major concern in the proper storage of wine? A: One of the many concerns when cellaring wine is the relative humidity level of the storage area. Optimal humidity conditions for a cellar are between 50-75%. Humidity levels that are too high can result in the growth of mold, which may ruin the cellar’s wood and labels. Conversely, if the humidity is too low, oxygen-rich air may seep into the bottles, resulting in a spoiled vintage collection. Q: What other factors affect essential proper storage of a wine collection? A: Wine, like many other food or drink, is tainted and/or altered by light. Its color, taste and smell may be impaired principal
