(the pipes are not visible in the cellar). The weight of the cool air will push any warm air in the cellar out veer the other lower pipe, which will route up from the bottom of the Hex Wine Cellar (within one of our wine units) and also exit under your floor to the north side of your property. This pipe will naturally bring cool air to the top of the cellar. One pipe will enter into the top of the cellar (within one of our wine units) and must exit under your floor to the outside wall on the north side of your property. To make that work with an underground cellar we need to use a passive air flow system which consist of two 60mm pipes. Storing your wine in a natural environment is the most important element for us. If you’re close to main roads/railways/airports and any other courses of vibration, your wine will always be safe in our cellar. Even our London installations are safe from London Underground tube vibrations. The Wine Cellar Company’s structural engineers have designed the underground Wine Cellar to be vibration free. The increased kinetic energy through vibration will lead to a decrease in tartaric and succinic acids coursing a reduction in esters (organic acids), which dull the flavour. Vibration can disturb sediment present in the bottle and can also cause complex chemical reactions which are less visible. This will keep the cork fresh and oxidation at a minimum. Then restore the bottles to their upright position. Our Tip For Whiskey is to tilt your bottles horizontally two or three time a year so that the liquid soaks the cork. The cork will also lase an unpleasant flavour to the whiskey. Because of the high concentration of alcohol (40%Vol+) will if stored laying down will course decay and gradually disintegrate the cork and allow oxygen to enter the bottle and oxidise the content thus affecting the taste. Unlike wine the storing of Whiskey needs to be stored in a vertical position. These double height wine units will also be great for storing your Whiskey Collection. While the Vintage Port and Quinta dos Canais Vintage Ports should still be stored laying down with the label facing up for the traditionalist. We even have a specially designed double height wine units for Special Reserve, Late Bottled Vintage and Tawny Ports bottles for storing upright. Even our small 2mtr deep cellar can take up to 1,092 standard bottles. That’s great storage for a reasonably small space taken up within your floor area. Bottle StorageĮach of our wine storage units can take up to 26 standard wine bottles which equates to 156 bottles per row and for a 3mtr deep cellar that’s 1,716 bottles. The Wine Cellar Company like to keep it natural and maintenance free. No mechanical humidity unit will be required, so they’ll be no need for an annual maintenance bill every year. The nature of the ‘ Hex’ wine cellar environment will naturally keep the humidity between 65 and 70% throughout the seasons to ensure that your wine is kept safe. If the cork does become too dry then this can lead to oxygen entering the bottle, which can cause the wine to oxidise.
The higher degree of humidity is required to stop the outside part of the cork from drying out. Whilst storing a wine bottle on its side will keep the inside face of the cork safe from deterioration, the side exposed to the outside is still at risk.
The most important reason for maintaining the correct levels of humidity is to ensure that the cork remains in the best condition.
Naturally Keeps Humidity Between 65 and 70% This will then hold that consistent temperature throughout the seasons and of course no need to use a wine cooling mechanical unit which will need maintenance annually. Steady, Natural Temperature Control (between 11° and 18° C)įrom 2.0 to 3.0 meters deep the cellar will naturally keep cool using the ground temperature, the concrete wine structure and a passive air flow to moderate the temperature swings and make the temperature swings seasonal instead of daily.

There’s no long installation period for converting a room in your property for your wine storage plus still maintaining that vital room and freeing up space. Our modula underground system will also only take from 8 to 12 days for the installation. The actual finished ‘Hex’ glass entrance door is only 1,722m at its widest point. The Wine Cellar Company’s ‘Hex’ underground wine cellar’s initial excavation is 2.5m wide. Space Saving Storage With Effective Time Installation
