Bespoke climate-controlled wine rooms

Climate-controlled spaces on display for homes, restaurants and hotels: insulating glass walls, discreet technology and furnishings made in Italy.

The designer wine cellar that enters the living room

In homes, the wine room often finds its place between the living room and the kitchen, separated by a glass wall that makes the collection part of the architecture.

The bottles remain visible and easy to reach. The cellar is no longer just a space for storage, but a presence in the daily life of the home, to be looked at, walked through and shared with guests.

In restaurants and hotels it also takes on an operational and representative role: it facilitates service, showcases the wine selection and helps to convey the identity of the venue.

For the most common needs, Showine offers climate-controlled wine display cabinets in basic, intermediate and top configurations.

Glass, insulation and acoustic comfort

The glass wall, the insulation and the management of thermal bridges contribute to the proper functioning of the wine room. The choice of glass and the design of the envelope are defined according to the characteristics of the space and of the wine cellar cooling system.

Walls, ceiling and floor must also be considered as parts of a single envelope. On request, the doors can also be fitted with a key lock or a numeric keypad.

A wine room set within the living area or close to the bedrooms also requires particular attention to acoustic comfort. Showine studies the position and configuration of the system. When the project and the characteristics of the system allow it, the unit can be integrated into the furnishings, providing the space needed for ventilation, heat dissipation and maintenance.

Provisions, technical routes and maintenance access are defined from the preliminary design stage, so that the technology is not added at a later date.

Lighting can be provided with LED sources with low heat emission, selected according to the project.

From storage to tasting

A wine room can be paired with a space dedicated to tasting, designed to make the step from choosing the bottle to the moment it is shared feel natural.

The wine tasting room can include a small wine fridge for white wines and sparkling wines, a cabinet with closing doors to protect the glasses from dust and a few selected elements, discreetly integrated into the space.

In Tuscany, Showine is developing a project for a historic estate that includes a private cellar for a collection of about 3,000 bottles and a tasting room. Storage and tasting are conceived as parts of a single intervention, respecting the character of the building.

Showine’s expertise in storage can also extend to cigars, cheeses and fine cured meats. For each product, the most suitable conditions of temperature, humidity, ventilation and exposure are defined, keeping wine at the centre of the project.
