Wine Cellar Conditioning Systems
Maintain A Proper Wine Storage Environment
The vast majority of wine cellars will require a mechanical wine cooling system to maintain the proper wine storage environment of 55° F and 60-65% relative humidity. If you are lucky enough to have the existing conditions for a passively-conditioned wine room then you can avoid the cost and effort of installing a wine cooling system by simply following the build out information provided.
Wine Cellar Cooling
Wine cellar cooling systems differ from room air conditioners in several ways. They are required to cool to temperatures as low as 50° Fahrenheit and they do not dehumidify the air in the room. There are three distinct types of systems available for wine cellar conditioning:
The wine cellar cooling unit you choose will depend on your performance standards, budget, the location of your cellar and your aesthetic requirements.
Humidification Control
Often ignored, humidification control is a very important factor in the proper conditioning of a home wine cellar. Most geographic areas do not have the ambient humidity levels in the air year-round to maintain the 60-65% humidity levels needed inside your wine room. Dry conditions in your cellar can dry out corks and steal your wine right from the bottle! Vigilant recommends the Wine Guardian fully ducted wine cooling system with integrated humidification control to best cool and condition your wine cellar and protect your fine wine.
