Cooling Your Home Wine Cellar the Right Way: Why is it Important?

Always remember that you cannot use a regular air conditioning system to cool a wine cellar intended for long-term storage. It is not designed to create the ideal wine storage environment in refrigerated wine cellars.
Wines deteriorate quickly when stored in a place with unstable temperatures and varying humidity levels. High temperatures will cause heat damage and age prematurely due to oxidation. The cork will shrink and become brittle. When this happens, the sealing ability of the cork will be affected and cause wines to mix with oxygen. It will result in unpleasant tastes and aromas in the wine because of altered chemical composition.
Very low temperatures will slow down the aging process of your wines. Moreover, it will also cause the wine to expand and put pressure on the cork, forcing it to be pushed out of the bottle. When this happens, an unwanted amount of oxygen will get into the bottle and mix with the wine, which will result in oxidation.
Prevent Your Wine Cellar Cooling System from Working Too Hard
When the conditions inside your wine room do not fall within the ideal range, your wine refrigeration unit will be forced to work harder to create the optimum environment. It can result in system breakdown, causing you to spend on the repair or replacement of your unit.
The ideal temperature in wine cellars is 55 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit, and the humidity level is 60 to 70 percent. At Coastal Custom Wine Cellars, our home wine cellar cooling experts always ensure that your climate control system suits the size and location of your wine room.
Essential Methods Before the Installation of the Wine Cellar Cooling System in Your Home
Making a careful assessment of your needs and calculating the heat load are essential methods that master builders like us follow in wine cellar construction. By following these methods, we will know the cooling requirements for your cellar, which will help us determine the best type of wine refrigeration unit for your project.
Creating an Airtight Seal in Your Wine Room with Proper Insulation
You will need the help of a registered HVAC specialist in the installation of your wine cellar cooling unit. Before installing the equipment, we will have to seal the wine room. This step plays a vital role in preventing temperature fluctuations.
Insulating and sealing your wine room offers the following benefits:
- Create an airtight seal in the room by preventing the cold air from escaping your wine cellar and the warm from entering
- Prevent your home wine cellar cooling unit from working too hard
- Saves energy without compromising performance
- Preserve your wine’s quality and your room’s structural integrity.
Aside from the size and location of your wine room, we will also consider the availability of an exhaust room, your aesthetic requirements, and your budget.

Performing a Heat Load Calculation
We also perform a heat load calculation to know the BTUs required for your wine room. This step will help us in choosing the best wine refrigeration system for your needs.
Below are the factors that we must consider when calculating the heat load.
- Location and size of the room
- The amount of glass to be installed in your wine cellar
- Heat sources near the wine cellar
- The amount of insulation installed
Coastal Custom Wine Cellars Completed Home Wine Cellar Cooling Projects in California
Below are examples of Coastal Custom Wine Cellars’ projects where we used our expertise in home wine cellar cooling:
- Custom Home Wine Cellar Cooling in Southern California
In this project, Coastal Custom Wine Cellars installed a wine refrigeration system from CellarPro. We utilized a 4200 self-contained unit, which required a small amount of ducting to redirect the heat produced by the condenser to an open or well-ventilated location.
- Residential Wine Cellar Cooling in Irvine, California
In a wine cellar cooling project we completed for a home in Irvine, California, we installed a ductless split type wine cellar refrigeration unit from Arctic Metalworks, Inc. We mounted the unit on the right wall. Since it is a split type system, the fan coil was placed inside the wine room, while the condenser was installed outside the house. This setup offers a quiet operation and eliminates the need for an exhaust room.
