It has always been a challenge to conceptualize a design that will make a wine storage structure look beautiful. The most interesting trend among cellar owners is a modern-looking space. To achieve a more contemporary feel in your wine room, install metal racks for your displays. Vintage View Metal Racking Systems are the best types of metal racks in Chicago, and they come in customizable color and finish options!

Metal Racks for Contemporary Custom Wine Cellars

There is an assortment of wine cellar designs in Chicago. The style of a storage structure is largely affected by the type of materials used in its construction. For example, to achieve a traditional look and country feel for your wine room, wooden products have to be used. On the other hand, to create a more contemporary-style cellar, metal wine racks should be installed.

Custom Wine Cellars Chicago is one of the leading storage builders that offers the most durable metal racks for both commercial and residential installations. The racking systems we offer are part of the one-of-a-kind racking collection from Vintage View Wine Storage Solutions.

When you’re looking for a certain wine in your cellar, how long does it take you to find the bottle that you want? The length of time you stay in the cellar can have an effect on the temperature and humidity balance in your wine room. The heat that your body releases can affect the coolness in the cellar. The consequences are worse if you consistently get bottles from your storage space. Constant opening of your cellar door can cause fluctuations in the climate conditions inside, which can damage your collection.

Vintage View racking systems display bottles with their labels facing you so that it’s easier for you to identify your favorite wines. You won’t have to spend too much time scouring the racks for a specific bottle. With just one look at the display, you’ll be able to locate the wine you are looking for.

Wine and temperature are indispensable pairs. Without the right coolness, wine cannot age properly. There are times when the cool air can’t reach the bottles that are kept in hard-to-reach areas in the cellar. The open airflow design of Vintage View racks allows the coolness in the room to circulate evenly around all of the bottles. This equal distribution of temperature throughout all of the wine storage structures helps protect your prized collection from damage.
