Step 1 Understand the basic storage conditions of wine
First of all, the variety of wine is a decisive factor. Most of the traditional European grape varieties are cabernet Sauvignon, which have heavy tannins and must reach a better drinking period. Bordeaux, Burgundy wine storage conditions are very high, to reach the temperature of 12-15 ° C, humidity 60-70%, avoid sunlight, vibration, good ventilation. The wines of the New World Wine District are produced industrially without particularly harsh storage conditions. If most of your wine collection is for daily consumption of table wine, regular storage will suffice.
Step 2 Determine how the cellar works
Natural wine cellars, with their natural and constant temperature and humidity, can ensure stable wine aging conditions. For general residential buildings, the depth of the basement is not enough, and there is interference from the surrounding heat source, which is far from being compared with the natural wine cellar, but equipment can be used to manually intervene. In fact, with the development of high-tech, the establishment of Hengjing control system, to achieve wine storage indicators, you can design the wine cellar anywhere! The interior decoration style of the wine cellar varies from person to person, in addition to looking good, but also consider the convenience of taking and placing and management, private wine cellars in Europe are relatively particular about being equipped with management software to record wine information, each bottle of wine has a scan code record before entering, convenient for the computer to search at any time.
Step 3 Specific steps to build a wine cellar
There are simply six steps to building a wine cellar
1, the correct location: away from heat sources, and the use of underground space to save energy.
2. Insulation measures: the wall and the top floor must be insulated. This is one of the more professional aspects of cellar building. The wall needs to be measured and calculated to obtain a more accurate value to meet the storage requirements of each space. The thickness of the wall of the same wine cellar in the sun must be different from that in the cave. The simpler insulation method is to use common insulation materials such as extrusion plate and polystyrene board.
3, the cellar door: should be added in the middle of a layer of insulation material, and adhere to the sound insulation cotton strips around, because the door is the overall cellar insulation weak link. The cheaper wood is pine, and the more commonly used wood is oak and some hard miscellaneous wood in China. The premise is that the wooden door must be properly dried, otherwise it is easily deformed by the different temperature and humidity on both sides of the door.
4, lighting part: lighting should choose cold light source. Because incandescent lamps produce heat; Fluorescent lamps produce a large number of invisible ultraviolet rays, which seriously damage the structure of the wine body, so they can not be used as a lighting source for the wine cellar.
5, cellar air conditioning: It is recommended to use European and American imported equipment or choose low energy consumption, high configuration of domestic air conditioning products. Due to China's CCC restrictions, imported products can not be normally declared for import at present, and after-sales protection is more difficult, so must be carefully considered before selection; There are many choices of domestic wine cellar air conditioning products, and the principles and systems of each manufacturer are greatly different, and after-sales service and quality guarantee period are important factors to be considered.
6, wine rack customization: according to the number of wine storage, bottle specifications, you can choose different materials, customized to meet the expected style and budget of the wine rack. The wine rack is made of a wide variety of materials, wood, steel or brick, and the scale and style are suggested to be consistent with the overall style of the wine cellar. Now the more commonly used style is wooden wine rack, the simpler way is. The selection of wine rack must first ensure the strength, safety should be considered, do not blindly, if the storage is not appropriate, after a while you will find that the wine has all moldy, more than worth the loss.
Construction cost
Depending on the space and effect, generally speaking, to the GROTTO private wine cellar, the wine cellar construction starts at 10 square meters, and the basic price is more than 100,000. General private wine cellar size is 10-60 square meters. Since the equipment is basically the same, the smaller the area, the higher the cost.
