8 Best Wine Cellars to Inspire Your Inner Wine Enthusiast
Are you a wine connoisseur who frequently purchases wine by the case and requires a place to store it? Or do you aspire to become an avid wine collector? Then you should contemplate installing a wine cellar. Not having a traditional cellar? Almost any chamber in your residence can be converted into a wine cellar.
Gothic Wine Palace
Who knew acrylic wine storage with blue LED lighting could be so cool? This blue gothic wine paradise designed by Jamie Beckwith of Beckwith Interiors for a pool house in Nashville, Tennessee, features transparent acrylic arches that serve as both wine storage and a spectacular lighting element.
The temperature-controlled, 2,000-bottle wine vault is located beneath the living area of the pool house. A glass floor allows the wine cellar to be viewed from above, and a retractable black shade covers the ceiling to block out unwanted light when the cellar is not illuminated.
California Chic
Simplicity and elegance meet in this charming and chic custom wine cellar by Nadia Elgrably of Nadia Designs for a Laguna Beach, Calif., home.
The climate-controlled wine cellar incorporates acacia and Maplewood wine cases, marble counters, a copper leaf lighting fixture, and a copper penny mosaic tile floor to create an inviting space for homeowners to display and enjoy their wine collection.
The antique glaze on the ceiling’s hand-applied copper leaf adds a touch of Old World charm, while the large floor vase containing the owners’ cork collection adds a whimsical touch.
Efficient By Design
Do you not believe you have enough capacity for a wine cellar? Consider again.

Capturing Tradition
The constellations were precisely aligned in this exquisite wine cellar.
