Do I really need a vapor barrier?

That depends on your specific wine cellar design …

If you plan on having a climate controlled wine cellar, then the answer is YES!

In order to prevent humidity from entering your climate controlled cellar and to prevent mold growth, you must have a properly installed vapor barrier.

In addition, all cooling system manufacturers require a vapor barrier be installed to keep warranty in effect.

How much will I need to invest for an average custom home wine cellar?

The investment in a Custom Home Wine Cellar can vary dramatically …

Just like the investment in an automobile – some may prefer a Chevy and others must drive a Bentley.

The investment in a Custom Home Wine Cellar is driven by racking materials, cooling systems and the overall look you prefer.

Do I need a cooling system for my cellar?

A very good question!

If your collection consists of mainly table wines, you may not need a cooling system. However, if you are cellaring red wines for extended periods of time, you really do need to control both the temperature and humidity of your cellar.

    Don P. Custom Home Builder, Raleigh NC

  • Our builder introduced us to Tim Metzer of Wine Cellars of the Carolinas during the construction of our custom home.

    The service that Tim provided then was great, and he made the process easy. It has now been 6 years since we built, and whenever we need help with our cellar, Tim responds quickly. He has never made us feel that service ended when the cellar was complete.

    That is so rare now-a-days. We highly recommend Wine Cellars of the Carolinas to all, for we truly believe that Tim and his team will not disappoint.
