Modern Commercial Wine Cellars: A Visual Upgrade to the Steakhouse

Our lead designer at Custom Wine Cellar, Steve, was brought in to tackle issues with a problematic wine cellar as the project faced a challenging start. The original construction had left the cellar in poor condition, from an inefficient cooling unit to poorly designed wine racking and overall layout. It was evident that significant changes were imperative to address these shortcomings.
The original design of the modern commercial wine cellars had various deficiencies, including inadequate cooling, ill-fitting doors, and a racking setup that restricted accessibility. This demanded a complete overhaul of the cellar’s design and layout.
Wine Cellar Cooling Unit Choice for Modern Commercial Wine Cellars
Wine Cellar Designed by Experts
A split system wine cellar cooling unit is typically indispensable for commercial design. While some consider self-contained cooling units due to budget constraints, they are less effective for commercial spaces. We had to firmly convey to the client that a self-contained system would not adequately circulate cool air throughout the entire cabinet for their wine cellar’s size.
We fixed the cooling system issues by using a split system with a powerful 18000 BTU unit from US Cellars Systems. This included setting up separate supply and return ducts for each compartment to ensure the wine cellar had a consistent temperature. This setup eliminates hot spots and uneven cooling, making it perfect for storing wine.
The separate supply and return lines let us set specific temperatures, keeping the champagne compartments at 45 degrees F and the wine compartments at 55 degrees F, which is best for preserving the drinks.
Elevating the Entrance with Custom-Designed Wine Cellar Doors
The doors of these commercial wine cellars are seven feet tall with wooden frames, dual-paned glass, 60-inch handles, and Q-lon seals to prevent air leaks.
The cellar doors have been significantly improved. Now standing at a height of seven feet with wooden frames and dual-paned glass, they add an elegant touch to the cellar. These custom-designed doors are equipped with 60-inch handles and Q-lon seals to prevent air leaks, ensuring that the cool air remains sealed inside and regenerates quickly, no matter how frequently the cellar is accessed.
Given the high-value wines and champagnes in this commercial wine cellar, a common feature in profit-oriented collections, we would typically recommend advanced door security locks if we had been involved in the initial design. However, we decided to retain the original traditional-style lock installed by the builder for this cellar.

In addition to upgrading the doors, we also improved the racking system. Although the original VintageView racking was sturdy, it was not very practical regarding accessibility. It was challenging for people to reach the bottles at the back without removing them in front.
We replaced all the racks with attractive gold-colored VintageView triple-deep custom wine racks as a solution. These new racks securely held the bottles and added a stylish touch to the walls, showcasing the collection beautifully.
The upper sections of the wine cellar were specifically designed for display, mostly filled with dummy bottles, eliminating the need for ladders typically required for tall wine displays.
How We Maintain the Good Condition of Modern Commercial Wine Cellars
After completing the renovation, we discussed the maintenance of the wine cellar with the clients, emphasizing the importance of regular checks, especially for the cooling systems. We recommend scheduling check-ups every six months to maintain the cellar’s optimal condition for a large-scale operation like this. Proper maintenance is essential to prevent disruptions and ensure an exceptional drinking experience for guests.
We conducted periodic checks on their cellar every three months based on our experience building commercial wine cellars, such as the one at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, which has remained strong for over 20 years. Following a six-month maintenance schedule for this new high-end steakhouse wine cellar, we are confident it will endure for many years.
The renovation of the commercial wine cellar showcases our creativity and expertise in the hospitality industry. By directly addressing challenges and adding a personal touch, we have transformed a troubled space into a standout feature of the restaurant. Our dedication to merging functionality with style ensures that every guest enjoys a touch of luxury during their visit.
