If you’re considering starting up your own wine collection, you may already be aware of the various ‘must-haves’ in order to properly store your wine bottles. Having your own wine cellar will not only require an investment in the construction but also a separate cooling system to properly keep your wines at the optimal temperature for them to mature naturally. A wine cooling system comes in several sizes and functionalities based on your needs. A wine cooling system is an essential part of your wine cellar and manufacturers have realized that not every wine cellar are the same, therefore there are many types of systems in the market today that caters specifically for individual needs.

Among the most popular wine cooling systems in the market today are Cellar Mate, WhisperKool, Breezaire Products Company, Koolspace and ONAM. These systems are split units designed to be located in rooms adjacent to the cellar if you have a rather smaller cellar that doesn’t leave much room to incorporate the system in the same area as your wine bottles. At the same time, you also have a choice for wall mounted units with a ventilation system that vents to the outside. These systems incorporate digital controls for your convenience so that the temperature is set exactly to what is needed. What these cooling systems have in common is that they are priced according to the features incorporated in them and their capacity, which means the more high-end or designed to cater to a larger capacity it is, the more expensive it gets.

 

The higher end models are specifically built to blend in with your cellar design so that you don’t have an unattractive piece of metal sticking out from the corner of your cellar to ruin the sight of beautiful bottles of vintages in your collection. These systems are split units that doesn’t require you to knock a hole in your wall to accommodate the size of the system. It functions similarly to a common spilt air conditioning system for homes where the smaller units are mounted inside the cellar while the larger cooling system is placed somewhere outside the cellar, and circulates the air to the outside. The high end models also provides humidity and heating functions that will adjust itself according the level changes automatically and has the capacity to regulate temperature up to 5500 cubic square feet.

As a wine collector you are definitely concerned that these systems might effect the environment to a certain extend and are of course looking for an option to properly store your wine collection without further compromising the effects on the environment, this is the main reason why popular cooling manufacturers have turned to producing a water-cooled cooling system that does not vent outside but pumps the heat into your sewer system that goes directly to your city’s water recycling system.
A wine cooling system is definitely an essential part of your cellar, thus it is one of the key components to be incorporated in your cellar design and your needs. A cooling system can cost up to almost half of your entire investment for building a cellar.
