Walk-in wine room FAQ

A complete walk-in wine room, built in our Brisbane factory: an insulated cabinet with a double-glazed glass front, solid walnut racking, a built-in wine-cellar cooling unit and lighting. It comes in three standard sizes, so every dimension is already engineered.

Three, all 2300 mm high (finished floor to the top of the roof) and 1200 mm deep:

• VV-1200: 1200 mm wide, one bay
• VV-2270: 2270 mm wide, two bays
• VV-3340: 3340 mm wide, three bays

Each walnut bay holds 88 standard bottles and 24 glasses: 30 bottles on six tilted display shelves, 52 in individual cells and 6 standing in two backlit niches, with the glasses hanging above them. So the VV-1200 holds 88 bottles, the VV-2270 holds 176 and the VV-3340 holds 264.

On the VV-2270 the door can be at the left end, the right end, or centred between two windows. The VV-3340 has glass, door and glass in equal thirds. The VV-1200 has one full-width glass door.

The three standard sizes are fully engineered and quickest to quote. If your space needs something different, contact us and we can look at a custom wine cabinet.

The cells are designed for standard 750 ml bottles, from slim flutes to Champagne (about 73 to 92 mm in diameter). Magnums and 375 ml half bottles aren't designed for the cells.

A dedicated wine-cellar cooling unit is built into the roof, flush with the ceiling inside. We've calculated the heat load of every model, and the unit runs well within its capacity. It's plug and play once the room is in place.

The glass is 27 mm low-E, argon-filled double glazing in heated frames controlled to the dew point, which is designed to keep the glass clear. That matters in a humid climate like Brisbane's. More in our guide to storing wine in Queensland.

The walls, roof and rear are 50 mm polyurethane insulated panels, and the floor is a 75 mm insulated panel.

19 mm solid walnut. Bottles in the cells rest on two walnut runners that run front to back, so each bottle lies level on its body and centres itself. Because bottles ride on their bodies rather than their necks, mixed bottles can sit at slightly different heights, as in any quality rail rack.

A satin-black cabinet with black-framed glass, warm 3000 K LED lighting, backlit niches and mirror stainless steel on both ends inside, which carries the racking on so the room feels larger.

Pricing is on application. Send us the model you're interested in, your preferred front and the site address, and we'll come back with a proposal including drawings and pricing.

Yes. Because the range is standard, we can supply general arrangement drawings, heat-load calculations, specification notes and renders for each model. See For builders and designers.
