Creating the Perfect Wine Room

Private wine rooms add a finishing touch and elegance to a true custom home.

Whether you are a wine enthusiast or a novice, a private wine room is the hot trend in custom home design where luxury reigns. A good cellar creates a flow of great wine for a lifetime. It can also add value for purposes of resale of the home.

Choosing the wine cellar that’s right for you is key. The bigger the cellar, the harder it is to control temperature and humidity. All fine wine collections require the same basic care such as, climate, humidity, and light control systems to protect and preserve delicate vintages. Vapor-tight doors and easy access are also top priorities. Proper storage makes financial sense and allows wines to be purchased when they are released, at the time they are most available and lower in price.

Wine rooms can be designed to fit most budgets and in a variety of sizes and styles. If you are designing a new home or updating an existing one, a wine room can add value and style for the simplest of homes to the very elite. Approximately 75% of the homes built by Texas’ Custom Builder of the Year, Jenkins Custom Homes, contain wine rooms.
