...4. Build ItIf you decide to build your own wine cellar remember that north walls are best because they get the least amount of light. You can use the first floor of your house, a garage, or in some cases even a crawl space depending on the ability to keep temperature constant. The first stem in starting to build your wine cellar is building the frame. You need to frame the outer walls of the basement with 2" x 6" studs . Then you will need to insulate so that you can keep the room a constant temperature. Don't forget your door is going to have to seal tightly so you will need to weather strip it. The drywall you use should be resistant to moisture. Start thinking about the design of your racks before you actually begin construction. Decide what type of racks you want and what material you want to build them out of. Have a look at existing pre-fab racks to get some ideas. You will also need to invest in a wine cellar cooling unit so that you can maintain the correct temperature and humidity. A cooling unit is very similar to an air conditioning unit. Your wine should be maintained at around 50 degrees and the humidity should be around 70%. There is a great deal of wine cellar equipment available on the market so whether you build from scratch or buy pre-fab you've got plenty of options. Now that you can see the uses of a wine cellar and its equipment, you are ready to start your own. We know that you will very much enjoy having a cellar that is full of your favorite wines, especially when you have it equipped with what is needed.
