If you want to have an adequate supply of 12 to 52 bottles of wine, then the type of wine cellar you need is a Wine Cooler, also known as Mini Cellar or Wine Refrigerator.
For households with a larger collection of wines, a Wine Credenza, Free Standing Wine Cabinet, or a full size condition-controlled Wine cellar is warranted.
To further clarify, Credenzas are what we consider as wine furniture, with a style similar to a Buffet, and may hold wine bottles, wine glasses and accessories. These wine furniture cellars will hold between 140 to over 200 bottles (depending on the model). Free Standing Wine Cabinets – These wine cabinets are also considered to be wine furniture. However, rather than horizontal, like the Credenza and Buffet, it stands vertically to approximately 6 ft high and 2.5 ft wide, and will hold between 200 and 400+ bottles (depending on the model).
For even larger collections, you will require a Full-Size Wine Cellar in a separate room or basement. This full size wine cellar can be built by a "Do it yourself Handyman" with our Modular Wine Racking Kits, or you may obtain our services for a professionally designed and installed Custom Wine Cellar. Full-size wine cellars typically range between 5’ X 5’ to 15’ X 20‘, and will hold between 500 and 3,200 bottles. To browse these different types of "wine cellars", click on image links below.
